Good evening.

[Ky smiles at the Vine, polite and distant.]

Is there anything I can do around here that would be productive?

Besides petting the cats or building simply for the sake of building...

[As a police officer she was used to being far more busy. Not that she wished for more crime, but she did need a better way to occupy herself than just going through the library. The contents of which were...questionable. She'd gone exploring, but in the places where she felt she might learn something from her senses tingled with the threat of unnecessary danger. That hadn't stopped her, but she wanted something more.]

Alternatively, does anyone wish to talk about the world they come from? Or what they do there?

[As a temporary distraction it might mean something, and perhaps she would learn a useful fact or two.]

[The smile, formal as it had been, drops off of her face, and she ends that message to filter a different one to Dizzy.]

Dizzy. I want to apologize. In person if you're alright with it -- I can meet you somewhere.

Alright.

-Ky fortunately does not encounter Sol on her way to see Dizzy, and she's very soon heading to the room Dizzy shares with Sol. She knocks politely, and adds, softly-

It's me.

-... This was it. Dizzy drew in a deep breath, sitting herself on her bed and letting it out in a heavy sigh.-

Come in...

-Ky opened the door carefully, and just enough to let herself in. Her face was serious, as usual, and she nodded to Dizzy as she shut the door behind her.-

I want you to know that I wasn't thinking, when I spoke before. And I now realize that and that I was wrong. I didn't -- You're not subhuman, Dizzy, and you never have been. And I should have accepted that you knew better how to treat the egg than I was thinking. I didn't intend to hurt either of you, but I did, and I'm sorry.

... I know. I know you don't feel that way. And thinking the egg was just a trick by the Queen... I don't blame you for that, either.

I reacted so irrationally... It just brought back a lot of memories I wish I didn't have. I'm sorry... you're not a cruel person. You never had been. I shouldn't have treated you like one.

-And now Ky felt even worse.-

It's not your fault that people have been cruel to you in the past, and that that's informed how you act. I didn't mean to say anything that...

-would put her in the same category-

would upset you to that degree.

I know...

... You were the first human, since it became obvious I was a Gear, to ever show me true kindness. You're not like the others.

Because the others are wrong.

-Dizzy's clearly not like other Gear.-

... Could you come here? To the bed? -A sudden... urge came over her. A need to be close.-

Mm?

-Ky nodded, though, smiling reassuringly. If Dizzy was worried Ky would leave, she didn't intend to. Not until or unless Dizzy wanted her to.-

Yes.

This place... It hasn't been easy. But I'm glad you're here with me.

-Ky took a moment to consider that, the fact that this place has been difficult as well, but in other ways for Ky likely than for Dizzy.-

I'm glad if I can help. Even if I'm not...the same person you know from your world.

-Dizzy slowly shook her head- ... You are the same person.

-Slowly, she lifted a hand to touch Ky's cheek, her fingers gentle and feather-light.-

This is only appearance... But your heart is the same. You are that same knight that showed me hope in a world full of darkness and hate...

-Ky freezes at the touch, scared that any movement might startle Dizzy away.-

I do hope that's true. I would--

Anything I could do to help.

Mm... I have something I must confess...

To me?

Of course I'll hear it.

... That day when you saved me from myself... When Crow was trying to use me for those horrible ends... My feelings towards you... They began to change.

-Ky studies the edge of the bed. 'Change how?' she wants to ask, but she feels like it should be obvious, that she should know what Dizzy is talking about. She just doesn't, or doesn't realize that she does. The context of confession is certainly weighted, but with many different possible implications. Dizzy's talking about feelings, though, and that does imply a certain thing.

Ky looks back to meet Dizzy's eyes, her lips parted to answer but still no words coming to mind. She hopes that Dizzy knows she can say whatever she wishes to say, still.-

And I want you to know that... whether you are the man I knew back home, or the woman before me now, those feelings... still matter.

I love you, Ky Kiske.

You...

-Ky can think of all the things she thinks she should say, the result of everything she knows about Gears, the world, and God. But the truth is that Dizzy has always been outside of that in a way, too pure to be a creature born of sin in the way that other Gears were, too kind surely for God to turn His back on her. Ky has doubted, and she has questioned, and while she hadn't prepared herself for Dizzy to say that she knows there's only one genuine way she can reply.-

I love you too.

Mm... -Dizzy nodded, blinking away some smiling tears.- I'm sorry it took this argument to draw those words from me, finally...

-Ky brought her thumb up to brush the corner of Dizzy's eye, slowly, beaming at her.-

What matters is that we both know, now.

-She guessed, at least, although Ky couldn't say that she knew what it would lead to. It certainly cleared the air nicely from their argument, at least.-

... Yes... -But now the question of 'what happens next?' was stuck in Dizzy's mind. Without even thinking, she leaned into the other's touch, drawing closer.-

-Ky lowered her hand a little to brush Dizzy's jawline, and then she drew her hand back as if burned. (Or as if she knew she was doing something that she shouldn't.-

S-sorry.

A-ah... for what? -She'd been enjoying it.-

I...shouldn't.

-Ky wasn't sure now what she should do, but she had to consider that something about this place, or the gardens, was affecting Dizzy behavior in a way that wasn't typical, and that Ky shouldn't do anything that woudl be taking advantage of that. Not that she doubted what Dizzy said, it was just... This was all very complicated, and Ky didn't really know how to approach it.-
