[Her voice softens.] I hope it's not too painful for you, kadan, being reminded. If it is, you can still tell me. I told you I'd always listen and I mean that.
It'd be nice to feel like we're doing more than just treading water, that's for sure. [The Dragon Age was supposed to be one of great upheaval and they aren't even halfway through it. Lasting peace is probably too much to hope for, but she loves that Araceli never stops trying to make the world more liveable. Who is she to discourage?]
I don't know if I'd ever go all-ink; I still need to see myself in the mirror, not just a map. But I still have plenty of room left before it starts to get crowded.
Good, I'll be waiting. We can soak and talk...or not talk at all. [Not said in a suggestive way either, though she certainly won't mind if that's where it goes. Sometimes, words aren't needed and it's just enough to be together.]
Sometimes to miss a person this way is a good thing and to find a part of her here, some reflection of her is [a pause as Araceli considers the right word to use] I don't mind it. I can do my job better. And she knows.
[So there's that too.]
You've lived here all your life, thinking of it changing must be harder so perhaps it's the advantage some of us bring to the table by being from elsewhere. But talking would be good without other people around.
