And I’ll keep myself safe, even if this world brings us back if we do die.

[She’ll pull her arms back so she can take one of Evangeline’s hands.]

[abnormalizes]

[Squeezes tightly.]

Thank you. -I don't ever want to lose you.

[lost_soldier_echidna]

I’ll stay with you as long as I can.

[She returns the squeeze before moving to rest Eva’s hand on her chest.]

When we get home, you can play with my ears as much as you like.

[abnormalizes]

I'll definitely take you up on that. And you can - I don't know if I have anything that's as fun to play with.

[lost_soldier_echidna]

[Julie-Su ponders for a moment before blurting out the first thing out of her mouth.]

I have a lot to explore about you.

[Aaaaaand her cheeks turn red.]

[abnormalizes]

...I can't respond to that while I still look like your dad, let's get off this bridge.

[lost_soldier_echidna]

Yes, please! [And she just shuffles off of the other side, blushing furiously.]

[abnormalizes]

[Off the bridge they go, no awkwardness please.]

-You're back to normal now.

[lost_soldier_echidna]

[She lets out a small sigh and looks up at Evangeline.]

So are you. Thank goodness. I…

[She looks away bashfully]

…I never really talked about all that before. Thank you, Evangeline.

[abnormalizes]

Me neither. I think - it was probably good for us to let it out a little.

[lost_soldier_echidna]

I think so, too. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything - your past is safe with me.

[abnormalizes]

Thank you. [Smooches the top of her head.] Let's go home? I've had enough for one day and I could use some ear therapy.

[lost_soldier_echidna]

Let’s. It’s cold and I’m ready to warm up!

We can cuddle up under blankets as well!

[abnormalizes]

But if we're all covered up with blankets, how will you explore me?

[not sorry.]

[lost_soldier_echidna]

[No, no, she deserves it even as she sputters]

I deserve to be teased for that. I’m not good with flirting, but… I… kinda do want to… do that.

[abnormalizes]

[Awww.]

I'll help you through it, don't worry about not being good at it. I just want to make you feel good, and feel good with you.

[Towards home they go.]

[lost_soldier_echidna]

Thanks. That… means a lot. Really.

[Home, away from the snow, cold and bad memories and into the warmth and affection between two recovering women.]

bit of a timeskip

[abnormalizes]

[Thanks to the teleporters, home isn't particularly far, and Evangeline tugs Julie-Su down onto the couch with her.]

So where should we start?

[lost_soldier_echidna]

That’s a good question. I’m curious but I know you want to play with my ears.

[She turns around and rests on Evangeline.]

You first. You deserve it.

[abnormalizes]

You're sweet, thank you.

[She doesn't need further permission - she starts to pet Julie-Su's ears with both hands.]

Soft...

[lost_soldier_echidna]

[There’s a hum of relief and pleasure as her ears are messed with. She loves this so much.]

Hands are soft…

[abnormalizes]

Thank you - I try to take good care of them.

[Ear scritches.]

[lost_soldier_echidna]

Mmmn, so nice…

[She moves her head a little to offer more to scritch.]

[abnormalizes]

[Scritch scritch SCRITCH scritch.]

Let me know when you want your turn.

[lost_soldier_echidna]

[A small sigh.]

A few more moments and then I’m ready…
