[ There's so much more to say, more that he wants to say. He may wish she wasn't making perfect sense right now about what it means to be friends; yes, that does mean carrying things for each other - generally. It's hard to accept that when it pertains to his own self. No one should carry anything at all for him, it's his job to do the opposite for them. But she's seen things now and they can't go back, so all they can do is carry this together, like all things. ]

You know what I said earlier about you? I left out wise. Terrible oversight. Incredibly wise. Bit annoying, actually. [ He says this with a smirk, a softness in his voice, trying to find their way back to something good. He'll always try for that. ]

You're right, though. No guarantees of anything at all. It's why being here now is the very best thing. I don't mean here here, but here together, all of us. Alive. It's the very best thing, just being here in this moment, and the next one. And the one after that? Oh, I'm looking forward to that. [ In spite of it all, he smiles a little. ]

Oh, a simple trick, really. I watch a lot of baking shows, the ones where everyone just laughs and smiles a lot and at the end, they eat cake and tell each other, well done. Everyone's so happy! Bit inspirational, honestly.

[ He is "bullshitting" as Red would say, and he knows that she knows. But he smiles and offers something more sincere. ]

Truthfully, it's surrounding myself with people like you. People that are very important to me, the best of me.

[ On some level, he understands her, the way she's learning so much about connections, having friends, being someone who is so important to the people around them. Even after all this time, he's still not always clued in himself. But he'll absolutely make sure that she is. ]

Bit of a mix, sort of. Sometimes my friends...they move on. [ By choice - oh, how he wishes that happened more often - or by...the other thing. ] And then sometimes I'm alone for a little while before I make new friends and they come with me. I like that bit. The alone thing - tried that before, not good at it.

I do, and when I'm alone too much I start talking to myself all the time. Entertaining for a bit, then boring, then just absolutely dreadful and annoying.

[ He scrunches up his nose a little playfully, making a face. ]

Oh, but to go anywhere, well - I'd go to a place called Cintax Atreyu, lovely little planet. I'd have an ice cream cone there. This isn't just any old ice cream cone, mind you. It's about as high as two houses stacked on top of each other. It's cold there so the ice cream doesn't melt, it takes days to eat it. Meantime, there's a festival there everyday, you never know what they're celebrating when you go. They're just happy all the time. That's where I'd want to be, and I'd take you with me.

Bright spots all over the universe. Little lights and beacons of hope. [ She's right. He may be exaggerating the never sad part, but it's nice to think of sometimes. A place out there somewhere. ]

We're all sad sometimes, that's life. Happy and sad. [ Something he's familiar with because he lives that everyday. Two hearts: one happy, one sad, always. ]

Like our time here. It's not perfect, not at all. But we have our little lights, don't we, in the darkness? And when we leave, you'll have all the ice cream I can find us. That'll be our first adventure, far away from here. Trying every ice cream cone in the universe.

[ It's nice to think of. It's a good story. One he hopes will be true one day. ]
