Tears of joy feel few and far between sometimes. I hope you're right. Hopefully time works better than anything else. I don't know what else to do right now.

Thank you. I'd apologize for all of this, but, I think you'd tell me it wasn't needed.

[steepwithdead]

Few is not the same as none. It's early, yet. Give yourself grace and patience. The joy will grow.

I'd definitely tell you that. It's a rare thing that you should need to apologize for what you earnestly feel.

[If it was something like unwarranted hatred, maybe. But people who feel that way generally don't apologize.]

[grabaslice]

I'll try to remember that. Feels rough right now.

We'll see if I remember that later.

Thank you, again, for hearing me out. Casey should be here soon. I'll talk to you later? I need to pull myself together for both our sakes.

It's alright to forget sometimes. Friends are for many things, and one of them is to remind you that good things exist. Should you forget again, I'll find you.

[It's a promise and a threat.]

Alright. Let me know if you need anything, please.

[Having an actual friend, someone who likes Leo for himself and not his title or usefulness feels surreal in a way. He hasn't let someone this close in a long time.]

Thankfully, you know where to find me.

I will. I think you're stuck with me now, Caduceus.

[steepwithdead]

Good. I can think of worse fates.

Take care, Leonardo.

[He has no idea how to end the conversation, so Caduceus gets another selfie. Leo giving the relic camera a thumbs up. He still has his metal arm on at this point, so, he can manage this.

He looks absolutely awful and tired, but he's actually sort of smiling.]

[It takes about ten minutes, but Leonardo receives a responding photo!

[oh no, Cad is meeting all his standards.]
