I couldn't agree more. *laughs, but there's a flicker of sadness in his eyes, just for a moment*
You're right. We're not alone, not anymore. Never again.

Oh, I— I'm fine. Sorry. Just caught off-guard, that's all. *shoves the anxiety aside and smiles to reassure them both* I know. It's just me being... *sighs and shakes his head* Don't worry about it.
*takes a deep breath and smiles a little more convincingly* So, Envy, what other shapes can you do?

Definitely. *smiles warmly* I'm glad. None of us know what's coming, Illario, but at least we're both getting to a place where we can handle anything that comes. Right?

I'm glad we're friends too. *grins, then startles as Envy suddenly changes form and rolls around his feet* Whoa! What... Have you always been able to do that?

"Alright. Why not," he finally whispers back, sounding marginally more confident than he feels. His hand shakes very slightly as he curls his fingers gently into the fabric of Rhys's shirt but for the first time tonight, it's not out of anxiety. Or at least, not the bad kind.

At least, until Rhys's smile turns wicked and Elion's eyes widen. "You... I've never..." He swallows and looks down for a moment before he manages to meet Rhys's amused gaze again, the shadows thoroughly chased away for the moment by the sheer surprise.

Elion smiles and nods, deciding it's best not to tell Rhys that he could happily listen to him talking about anything for hours, complaint or otherwise. Warmth rises in his cheeks, following the ticklish trail of Rhys's fingertips along his jaw, but for once he doesn't feel self-conscious.

*nods, finally starting to understand* I hope so. Nobody should be forced to become something they're not.
I... Me neither. *shrugs* Probably not important. How are you and Bel doing, anyway? Any new additions to the Lighthouse since we last spoke?

It is. *smiles softly, thinking of his own supportive circle of friends and loved ones—of whom Illario and Envy are no small part* We're both very lucky, I think. I don't know about you, but I never thought I'd have anything like that. Funny how things can turn out so different from what you expect.

Good. *smiles and nods firmly, relieved to hear practical steps has been taken to keep Illario from falling down that dark path again*
I know. You're doing great. *smiles* Honestly, you're kind of inspiring. If you can overcome what you went through, it gives everyone else hope that they can too.

"I'd love that. Anywhere, as long as it's with you."
Turning slightly so he can look up at Rhys, he smiles softly, raising his free hand to rest against Rhys's chest over his heart. "You'd freeze in the mountains, love. Let's go somewhere warm this time."

He squeezes back, exhaling slowly as he listens to the soft, comforting cadence of Rhys's voice. What he's describing sounds wonderful, perfect even. He swallows hard to hold back the reflexive apology that tries to escape, his voice a little rough when he says instead:

*nods, tilting his head thoughtfully* That does make sense, I guess. I'd be pretty wild too if I'd been locked away for that long and suddenly given my freedom. *smiles, feeling a little foolish for his fearful reaction*

*nods slowly in 'knows-nothing-about-Fade-magic'* That sounds... good? I haven't noticed any massive influxes of demons or wild magic, so I assume that's good?

Thank you. *nods, sincerity in his eyes* I'll remember that. And if I can ever return the favour, I will.

You aren't the things you've done, Illario. Gods know if we were, I'd... *clears his throat awkwardly and tries again* You are more than what you've done, and what's been done to you. That's the past. Your future is different.

That sounds familiar. *smiles sadly* I hope the good days at least outweigh the bad ones. And I'm glad he has you to remind him his needs are important too, Envy. Just because someone else hurts doesn't mean you're not allowed to hurt too.

Thanks, Freya. *smiles tiredly* I think I needed to hear that.

I'm sure Spite will come around eventually. *smiles* You're a good man, Illario. Not many would come through what you and Lucanis did and still have much compassion.

*chuckles* That does sound like him... but I know you and he are very similar in some ways. I hope you're looking after yourself, Illario.
