[ boothill holds her just as tightly. he wishes he had skin and warm muscle for her to bury herself in, some spread of softness to give her comfort that isn't his hair over metal plating. he wants that life back. he wishes he could walk them both inside of it like passing through a doorway.
and for a moment they're back inside of that shared dream. they're holding each other on the porch of that sweet hillside home. in the dark velvet sky overhead, the milky way spreads out light spills of purple and green and magenta. there are lightning bugs and crickets and rabbits scampering in tall grass. he hasn't seen faerun before, but he remembers that vision she gave him just now; he can imagine them in it again, and this place seems to respond to it in kind. ]
[ah, well. maybe she just lives in this memory with him for a while, honestly.
she looks out over the way the world glitters, like this. she can add in all the little details - faerun isn't so different than most rural places. they can see the way the magic hovers in the air, soft and present. there are animals and the sound of cicadas in the distance but it's not busy, like the city. it's standing out in the middle of a place that's lush and alive and wonderful, the wind easy and cool, the stars unclouded above them.
she holds him a little more tightly, breathing in the fresh, crisp air. her eyes are caught on the sky, staring up in wonder at the lights.]
[ boothill, on the other hand, keeps his eyes closed as he holds her, gently swaying them again under the glow of their porchside lanterns. all he's paying attention to is karlach's warm weight against him and sounds surrounding them. he's afraid that if he opens his eyes, the universe will fade back. ]
So this is what it'll be like. I could get used to this.
[ they only have a second to be here, but here they are! ]
Well, I sort of cheated, with the sunflowers that I gave you. Those are my favorite. Those and daisies. [...] I couldn't really tell you what sort of gifts I like?
[HELP people come to visit and are just bodied by a pack of dogs
she talks a big game but she's actually not expecting the bite. that surprises her! she squeaks - and then laughs, just like. picking him up instinctively? gets his hands around his waist and lifts him up like hey!!!]

no subject
... Yeah, me too. [she says, even as that second is fading. she clings to it a little bit, not wanting it to go, but it's fog, it can't stay.]
We will. Get used to it. Or - we'll get to live it. I don't think I'll ever get used to having it, in the best way.
[she says it with such confidence, that she can make it happen.]
