Gemma reaches up and strokes Theo under the chin.

@ask-dr-angel (Who ig in this ask’s continuity is like on his own journey seperate from the protagonist?)

She looks tired, and with a sniffle rubs at her eyes with her good hand.

She gave a thought as she looked out the window, peering down into the near endless caverns below.

She carefully raised her head to the ceiling to look up, it made her neck hurt.

She reaches into her coat pocket with her good hand, and takes out Catnap's moon pendant. And she stares at it, with no tears left to give.

She puts the pendant away.

"I don't deserve you. Maybe someday I will."

"I know I'm a monster, but you love me like a man."

"I hope to someday be someone you'll be proud of."

"I'm not the easiest to love, but you do it, anyway…?"

"After everything I've done, and you're still here. Why?"

"You are the best thing I've ever had in my life… thank you."

"There's nothing I could do to actually scare you off, is there?"

"You're so easy to love. But, how can you love me so easily, too?"

"I'm trying to be easier to love. Thank you for being patient with me."

"You deserve better than me. You deserve better than all of this mess."

"I want you here with me, I do. But you don't need to be in this wreckage."

"I'm not perfect, I know I'll never be. But I want to at least be good enough for you."

"How can someone as sweet and kind as you stand being around someone like me?"

"I don't things right the first time… except one. Love at first sight with you? I got that right."

"I don't know why you insist on caring about me, but it's more than anyone else has ever done."

"I love you. I love you so damn much. And I know I'm not someone who deserves the same back, but I'm… I'm trying to be."

"You're the sun, the stars, and everything shining and good… and I don't see how you could care for someone as dark as me."

“i didn’t think you’d survive.”

“you knew i’d come.”

“maybe you never knew me.”

“why are you here?”

“you wouldn’t like it.”

“people like us don’t get happy endings.”

“you followed me into ruin.”

“before everything fell apart.”

“there’s always a choice.”

“we could still fix this.”

“you’ve said that before.”

“i never meant for this to happen.”

“you promised.”

“what did you do?”

“before you chose a side.”

“don’t turn your back on me.”

“before you betrayed me.”

“you shouldn’t have.”

“i’m trying to help you.”

“you’ve always known the truth.”

“say something worth hearing.”

“i’m not backing down.”

“help me, or get out of my way.”

“don’t be foolish.”

“you should have run when you had the chance.”

“i owe you nothing.”

“i had no choice.”

“i walked away when it mattered most.”

“i crossed a line i can’t uncross.”

“i remember you too clearly.”

“you still care?”

send one to have our muses meet for the first time.

“Sorry, were you just talking to me?”

“I think you dropped this.”

“You look lost. Need some help?”

“I don’t usually talk to strangers, but…”

“You’re sitting in my spot.”

“Whoa! Careful!”

“We’ve never met, right? You seem familiar.”

“Is that seat taken?”

“Sorry, I think I just spilled something on you.”

“You’re blocking the doorway.”

“Were you just staring at me?”

“Excuse me, do you know the time?”

“Wait — are you the person I’m supposed to meet?”

“I’ve been sent to find you.”

“Please don’t be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.”

“Do you work here?”

“I’m fairly certain that’s mine.”

“You’ve got something on your face.”

“Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

“Do you know the way to ___?”

“You’re hurt. Do you need help?”

“That’s a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?”

“This might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?”

“You look like you could use a friend.”

“I think your dog just stole my lunch.”

“Hey, you dropped your coin purse.”

“I think we’re stuck in here together.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear, but…”

“Are you the new neighbor?”

“First time in town?”

“I’m not sure if this belongs to you, but…”

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”

“Do you mind if I join you?”

“I think you’re in the wrong place.”

“You seem… out of place.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but are you following me?”

“That was a close call.”

“Not to alarm you, but someone’s watching you.”

“Mind if I walk with you?”

“You look like you’re in trouble.”

“Was that your doing back there?”

“You don’t look like you’re from around here.”

“That was impressive. How’d you manage it?”

“I’m guessing you’re not here by accident.”

“Do I want to know what just happened?”

“You might want to keep your voice down.”

“Is it always this strange around here?”

“I have a feeling we’re about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.”

“that version of me is gone.”

“this changes nothing.”

“watch me.”

"You need a hug?"

"Need me to kiss it better?"

"Need me to do that for you?"

"Have you been sleeping okay?"

"I'll handle this, you go sit down."

"I'm here for you, no matter what."

"Look at me, look at me… it's okay."

"You getting cold? Need a blanket?"

"They did what?? I'll get the shovel."

"You're burning up, do you feel okay?"

"Nope, sit back down, You're not okay."

"No, don't put yourself down like that…"

"I'm going to bring you something to eat."

"Don't worry, I remembered the band-aids."

"It's okay to cry, I'm not going to judge you."

"Of course I care about you, why wouldn't I?"

"You're enough. You've always been enough."

"Of course you can get a cuddle, come here!"

"You shouldn't let them talk to you like that…"

"I brought you some tea for your sore throat."

"You're okay. You're totally okay. Deep breath."

"Please just listen to me and take it easy today."

"Are you doing okay? You seem really stressed?"

"Everything's gonna be okay, I'll make sure of it."

"C'mon, let's get you to bed. You look exhausted."

"Hey, if you ever need anything, call me. I mean it."

"Don't worry, I'll cover this. You can buy next time."

"I brought you something to eat. You looked hungry."

"Hey, deep breath. It's not as big and bad as it seems."

"Do you need me to fight them for you? Because I will."

"I'll be a shoulder to cry on, however literally you need."

"You getting too warm? Need something cold to drink?"

"Brought some more tissues and snacks, feeling any better?"

"You're overextending yourself, don't you think? Let me help."

"I believe in you. You can do this. And I'll be right behind you."

"I'll take care of everything. Your only job is getting better, alright?"

"I saw these at the store and remembered you really liked them, so…"

"You don't need to apologize to me. It's not a burden looking after you."

"You're gonna give me grey hairs, making me worry about you like this."

"You're doing your best. I'm not going to ask any more of you than that."

"You don't need to prove yourself to me. I already know you're amazing."

"I don't need you looking after me, I need you to worry about yourself, okay?"
