[She didn't expect such an abrupt reply... guess this place is busier than she thought.

Flipping open her watch, she finds herself face to face with a damn near exact replica of--]

Dirk...?

[No, that can't be. He's too young.]

H-haha... I-- I take that back. I'm confused. One hundred percent unbelievably confused.

I am Dirk.

[He slips his shades down a fraction. Those same bright orange eyes.]

I just ain't that one.

[A little smile tugs at her lips. Oh no, Dirk. You've made a huge mistake.]

You're still absolutely precious. Congratulations.

[She can't say she's entirely disappointed with that. While she missed her Dirk... it really had been a while since they spoke.]

How long have you been here?

[Wait what. He nudges his shades back up and squints at her from behind them. Precious? That's a new one.]

It's been almost a year.

[He's not her Dirk, and she's not his Roxy, but still..]

You're okay, aren't you?

I'm... [She has to consider that she definitely wasn't, what only felt like minutes ago.] ...In one piece.

Ah... a year? They weren't kidding about the "indefinite" time frame thing, huh. Goodness.

I'm glad to see you doing well, in any case. [She needs to stop looking at him like that, seriously. He's just so cute though and he looks just like her Dirk did when he was that age and oh noooo.]

Yeah.. you get all the joys of the place plus a complete mind-wipe when you leave. Real fuckin' considerate.

[Please do stop looking at him like that. Rose looks at him like that.]

... What. Have I got somethin' on my face?

Huh. [That sounded... pointed. It occurs to her very quickly why, and the realization really only serves to tug at her heartstrings.

He's been here nearly a year, he's probably seen them come and go if this is the way this place really worked.] ...I'm sorry, Dirk.

No, y'don't. I'm sorry. [Her smile is sad now, the prim and propriety to her tone fading in favor of expressing her sincerity in her apology. At least now she sounded less like A Mom and more just like... his friend.

There was no reason why they couldn't be friends, right? She was with the him from her universe, so why not this one too, right?]

[Sometimes he gives away more than he intends. Apparently this is one of those times. It's more difficult to hide what he's really thinking when he speaks out loud, especially with people who know him relatively well.]

It isn't anything to do with you. [Not that he was rejecting her at all, but she hadn't been here, how was he supposed to blame her for anything.

More to the point...

She's Roxy. How is he supposed to blame her for anything?

He looks away, a small frown on his face, and it hits him - not for the first time - just how much he misses his friend.]

You been given the official invite to Bedlam yet?
