Hey so I've been meaning to ask but since people keeping having weddings and getting engaged and talking about officiating weddings I've had weddings on the brain and I was wondering--

Did anyone lose a pair of wedding rings like, a few months ago? Min-Gi and I found them like WAY back when we first got here and kept meaning to ask around if they belonged to someone.

Thanks! Later! (👉ﾟヮﾟ)👉

[Luca's just happy Ryan laughed. For everything that's happened, it's good to know that he still can find a bit of humor somewhere.]

I can only hope that it does. I've come to care about a fair few people here. If I did not have duties to tend to back home, I'd even consider staying.

[That, and he still can't keep his mind from drifting to River, wondering how he'd been since departing the city.

In any case, it's Ryan's turn to make Luca laugh. He catches himself snorting, before giving a bow.]

I'm happy to help cultivate our little gayborhood. And to keep it well-watered. [He winks, before the mirthful expression fades in the slightest.] Everyone deserves somewhere to be. To have a home and belong. If I can offer that in the slightest, then I am glad to.

Yeah, totally. [Something hits him as he says this though, and he gets a more thoughtful look.] I like it here, but I've never really thought about staying on purpose like that. It's complicated but...we kiiiinda already made his family super worried about him disappearing once before? [A shrug, like it's normal:] This isn't exactly our first wormhole to another dimension's rodeo.

[The train is a whole different conversation though, so he tucks that thought away.]

You definitely do, man. Everyone who comes in here always looks like they feel super welcome. [He grins, and does a little finger-gun gesture.] I'm not a bartender or anything but if you ever need someone to fix you a drink for a chance, hit me up!

[The look Luca gives him is both skeptical and amused. He takes a moment to shake his head before continuing.]

I can only imagine what you two have gotten up to. [He drums his fingers against the bar.] But I agree, in a way. I spent far too long worrying my loved ones. Kiera may be here with me, but she is not the only one that I owe a return to.

[His expression falters, looking the slightest bit troubled once again. At least Ryan's assurance takes the edge off.]

I am glad to hear that. [He forces a smile.] And I will be sure to take you up on that when I need it.

[chickenchoicejudy]

I'll have to tell you about it some time - if I did it now, you'd probably have to cut me off.

[He says this with a laugh and a smile. The story is so outrageous that it could absolutely be mistaken for drunken rambling, even after just one drink. Besides, it seems like neither of them are fully up to talking about their adventures back home - he catches that look, and chooses to let it go.]

Good! It's the least I can do after whining about my love life for this long.

[And really, it's nice to be able to say so openly, even if it's just to one person in private. There's a lot he's been holding back and it's a weight off of his shoulders to let someone else know about it.]
