[ she slides his mug to him and sits ]

A later date than Mon-El's.

[candothat]

[He accepts it with another thank you.]

Ah. Whatever the memories are, that makes things difficult--one person remembering more than another. [Not... that he's speaking from personal experience or anything.] Would you like to talk about them?

[takingkarabusiness]

It's... awkward, yes. And I'm not sure how much to tell him.

But on the plus side, my sister's in a really good relationship?

[candothat]

If things that you remember change how you behave towards him or how you feel for him... those, at least, it might be good for him to know. But please never take advice from me when romantic relationships are involved.

That is not nothing. She's happy?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah. Alex's girlfriend is a cop, and they work really well together, actually. I'm happy for her. Still wish she were here, but what are you going to do.

How have you been?

[candothat]

I wish that you had her here too. [Not because more people need to be stuck with the fleet, but because Kara deserves nice things.]

Fine, fine. Better than the captain and Anders have been.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's just such a huge loss...

[candothat]

It is. For all of us.

[It's especially hard to lose Fenris. The Tourist is down one surly father-figure.]

The ship seems empty even with five of us still here.

[takingkarabusiness]

We'll make it somehow. But I do miss them.

[candothat]

We might see them again.

[He reaches over to give her hand a quick squeeze.]

I hope that you don't intend to disappear in the near future.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she hugs him briefly as a response ]

I certainly do not intend to disappear.

[candothat]

Thank you.

[Not that their intentions mean much of anything.]

This is going to sound dramatic and I'm sorry for that, but of all of the people I have met here, you are one of the ones I would miss most of all. Top three.

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't think it's dramatic... I think it's very, very sweet. And I feel the same way about you.

[candothat]

[She gets another hug for that. It's a good thing they're both physically affectionate people.]

Then you will be pleased to know that I have no intention of disappearing either.

[takingkarabusiness]

I hope that no one has the intention of disappearing, except Kitty, who can phase through things at will.

[candothat]

She undergoes a molecular rearrangement, she doesn't disappear. [He knows what you mean, Kara.]

...Do you ever think about what happens when we find a way to go home and we all leave each other?

[takingkarabusiness]

Of course I do.

I'm not sure which option I dislike least: remembering everything or remembering nothing.

[candothat]

Remembering would hurt, but living here knowing that we will forget all of it... I think that would be impossible.

[takingkarabusiness]

I guess that's why we don't know.

[candothat]

And yet we're always trying to learn and trying to leave.
