Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When:

[ The video flickers on to Leto sitting on his bed, kicking his legs briefly. He grins when the video starts recording, pushing himself onto his feet. He tilts his head, that odd bird-like movement he often exhibits. ]

I have heard some interesting things of late, so I thought I'd put the question to you all. When you fall in love, can you only love one person? Can you fall in love with multiple people? Is love something you find yourself stopping after just one?

[ Ah. That. He keeps quiet on that front. As much as he likes to proclaim his love for his sister, most likely it would get lost in translation. ]

It is important to have a lot of love in your life.

[passingthrough]

Yeah, well... Not always possible.

[precedented]

No. But no less important, I find.

[passingthrough]

[She's just quiet for a beat before she repeats more quietly.] No less important. [Always a little love starved even in the good times. Or good-by-comparison times.]

[precedented]

Especially in difficult times.

[passingthrough]

Can't disagree there. Probably why I mar... [She cuts herself off. Maybe not something to reveal over the network publicly just now when she hasn't mentioned it to Winn yet.]

I should be doing things. [Because there is just so much on her plate to get to what with the nothing and all.]

[precedented]

Are you not doing things?

[passingthrough]

Well, I'm talking to you which counts as a thing I'm doing I guess.

[precedented]

But I assume that's not what you mean.

[passingthrough]

No. I meant other things. [Like not talking about love.]

[precedented]

If you wish to move on from this topic, you can simply say so.

[passingthrough]

...It hasn't always been the easiest topic for me, [She wonders for a moment if he already knows that. She's not sure how much he's looked at] but I am the one who decided to speak up.

[precedented]

Does it help?

[passingthrough]

Talking about it?

[precedented]

Mmm. It can be cathartic.

Though perhaps doing it through the network is probably unhelpful.

[passingthrough]

Conversations in person always feel a little more...connected. [And talking about her actual encounters can be cathartic but talking about it all more in theory just feels a little frustrating.]

[precedented]

I can visit you if you like.

[passingthrough]

I'm okay. [It comes out quickly, but then she looks at him thoughtfully.] I wouldn't turn down your company, but you don't need to worry about me.

[precedented]

No one needs to worry about others. It tends to be a desire people understand and support.

[passingthrough]

Uh huh. Are you coming over or what? [Leto, pls.]

[precedented]

I'll be right over.

[passingthrough]

[There's a faint smile.] I'm on the Windrose. [She'll go wait in the cargo bay for him.]

[ action ]

[precedented]

[ He waves it off. He knows where she would be. And in a couple of minutes, he arrives at the cargo bay. His footfalls are soft. Leto never bothers with shoes, something people notice about him almost immediately. ]

[ action ]

[passingthrough]

[It's a semi-crowded cargo hold with lots of stored chemicals and the floating garden of Vision's complete with a kelp tank and glowing fish. They also recently managed to get some exercise equipment. Exciting times on the Windrose.

She hadn't noticed his feet on the moon or thought twice about lack of shoes when they were on his own ship. Here, it's kind of a surprise.] Did you rush over so fast you didn't finish dressing? [Also, a nice way to avoid the part where this was sweet of him and she's a little awkward about that.]

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

I don't like shoes.

[ He says by way of explanation. After a deliberate pause, he continues. ]

I don't like clothes either, but the temperature controlled ships make it difficult to shed them.
