The Party Had Just Begun

[iamnotpolaris]

They spend the next couple of days just in Terraria, not exploring new worlds. Sivath builds the new house, with Emily's periodic assistance. Her sister and her sister's new Bonded...do not lack for ways to pass the time. At some point, Tialle's Demon gets around to eating a mana candy, and reports the same confused, undefined but large amount of mana. At some point after that, Emily gets around to warping over to Saravasse to report the information, and in the course of so doing meets some other dragons.

Eventually, the house is finished. It's glorious. Glass and marble and that peculiar, lovely Terrarian granite.

"What an asshole."

"Yes."

[whatamithinking]

"Are you okay?"

[not_only]

"Yes, I'm fine."

[whatamithinking]

"Find any architecture books?"

[not_only]

"They were out."

[whatamithinking]

"Inconvenient. ...There might be some here, this is a library, you couldn't keep them but you could look at them here."

[not_only]

"Where would I find them?"

[whatamithinking]

"I'm not sure. You could ask a librarian."

[not_only]

"Hm."

[whatamithinking]

"Hm?"

[not_only]

"I'm not sure if I want to ask a librarian."

[whatamithinking]

"Do you want me to ask a librarian?"

[not_only]

"That would be very nice of you."

[whatamithinking]

Edie asks a librarian and then directs Sivath to the relevant shelves.

[not_only]

Books! Yay!

[iamnotpolaris]

Books are, in fact pretty damn great.

[not_only]

Sivath is happy about these books.

[iamnotpolaris]

Good. After spending years in solitary confinement, he deserves some happiness.

[whatamithinking]

We're okay, right? I thought we were okay.

[iamnotpolaris]

We're okay. It's not going to stop being awkward instantly, though.

[whatamithinking]

Are you jealous? I've--this is so sudden--there's never been anyone else who had as much access to my mind as you. It would be reasonable.

[iamnotpolaris]

I'm not--I don't think I am. It's just. Different. And like you said, sudden.

[whatamithinking]

I'm not going to start hiding things from you, just because I'm not the only person in my head anymore.

He didn't actually sign up for this. He's stuck with you--and he doesn't seem to be unhappy about it, which is good--he's not stuck with me.
