You haven't seen anything yet. This way - we can relax in the treehouse.

[Leading the way to a gently sloping ramp because yes, they just have a literal treehouse in here.]

I think most of the unit's enjoying the beach we just got, so we should be able to talk here without any trouble.

Man, look at this place. Talk about fancy.

[Following him up]

[Once they're in, he flops onto the couch.]

Take a seat, wherever you like.

Thanks, dude.

[He plops himself down on whatever is available, then hesitates and offers up the cloth bag dangling from one hand]

Uh - here. This's for you.

[Taking it, looking curious.]

What is it...?

[Glancing between bag and Hurricane with a "should I open it" look.]

S'toffee.

Tried out a new thing, figured you might wanna give it a go.

Toffee, huh? Did you enjoy some of the good ones for yourself?

[Opening it up!]

I checked to make sure it came out okay.

[He is going to take one and throw it at ur head.]

Wha - hey!

We can both have one.

[And the smile he gives as he takes one for himself is... actually warmer than the ones of the past. More genuine.]

[Blinks down at the toffee in his hand now, from having caught the incoming,]

...thanks.

[Popping his own in his mouth.]

So, what're you actually here for?

[It's... really good, actually! Buttery and thin and crisp, covered in dark chocolate. There are no nuts in it]

Oh. Uh... yeah.

I, uh. I got kinda a weird question.

Yeah? What is it?

It's... like I said, it's real personal.

So, like. If you don't wanna say, you can tap out and I won't ever bring it up again. Okay?

I wouldn't have bothered bringing you all the way out here if I wasn't ready for it.

So what's up?

You know I was, like... in your heart. Right?

Yeah.

When I was in there, I saw this... place. It was real dark, and real empty. Just a whole lot of nothing, forever.

Where was that?

[Oh.]

[He sits back in his seat, folding his hands, voice deliberate with its calmness.]

It was during the final fight against the imps. My group was up against some kind of octopus creature, and it dragged us underwater. Down there... well, it felt like my very existence might not be so certain anymore.

How do you mean?

Like I'd be in that darkness forever... or maybe like I was on the verge of oblivion itself. I would see no one, hear no one - just as I was never to be seen or heard again.

...ah.

Why do you ask?
