[He just laughs at the idea of cleaning up, because? No? He will not. Still digging, but there's something shiny and peacock green close by that he's inching towards.

One way or another...?

[there's a jumble of her own feelings here, most of them some variety of either lightly pained or bittersweet. after a moment or two:]

I hate to ask you this every time we talk, but - is there a reason you're bringing that up?

[He stops, right before the green mess. There's just. A flash of something. Anxiety? Some of the same bittersweetness.]

Well, because this could either be the beginning of my third life, or the end of it all together. So I suppose I'm a bit obsessed with it. Whether or not I can look forward to things. You know?

That's the worst thing I've seen all day...

[headmt]

[no? it's amazing? he abandons the bikini dress part and just slings the cape over his shoulders, instantly so pleased?]

Are you joking? It's incredible? I'm taking this with me.

[fisherwoman]

[amusement and some light fondness, but.]

Wow, that's so sad... Well, I'll try to make sure nobody laughs.
