they don't have to know but with my luck they'll find out
why do you wanna leave the country
tinder probably doesn't even work the same in other cultures

don't get me wrong
i'm not saying you should be like ro
mostly because imitation is pretty weird
but she's got some traits worth aspiring to

I don't need to leave the country, but I'd like to have the option. We don't have the option right now, do we? I don't have the funds for it either, but I'd like to visit other cultures.

[ She knows he was joking, but she answered him seriously because!!! ]

I know. I've spent an entire childhood looking up to her. I admire how fearless she can be for what and whom she cares about, and I admire how free she can be.

they can't keep us trapped forever
i have no reason to believe that but i will until further notice

when's the last time you told her that?

[look.

baren cares about rose more than he'll ever care to admit out loud]

That's an optimistic viewpoint I didn't expect you to have. I'll stand behind it, if only because I have no desire to be trapped forever.

Those exact words? I don't know. But I tell her I love her every chance I get.

[ Clover loves her sisters, and she's not shy about it. It's the other two that have the problem expressing it in this family. ]

it's not optimistic
just realistic
there are too many superpowered freaks in this city to want to keep us contained
not to mention it wouldn't make sense for their little experiment

try those exact words
try to record her reaction for me too

Restoration or reconstruction or whatever their chosen jargon is? The way they make it sound, this city is the headquarters for that. Even if I don't know where the Retrospec headquarters are anymore.

I'll text her. I make no promises about telling you her reaction.

sure but if the ultimate goal is to restore souls
pieces of worlds
the city just doesn't have enough space for that

aw c'mon i can already guess
ro wouldn't mind if i knew

That's a fair point. It's not like I know how souls or worlds or whatever work. I'll take sunlight back first in any case.

If you can guess, do I need to tell you?

that's also kind of fucking confusing?
how are we not all dying from vitamin d deficiency

guess and check comes in two parts
duh

How the plants aren't dying is a bigger mystery to me, but it's a mystery I'm fine with. I don't want to consider how fast we'd die, then. At least vitamin supplements exist.

Are you that unsure of your guess?

She asked me if I was drunk.

plants are a mystery in general
but yeah i guess don't look a gift horse in the mouth
seeing as they're back too

LMAO
tell ro she's the best for me

This is contradictory as I want to be a veterinarian, but I would delay horses coming back for the dome to be gone.

Should I tell her how much you care, too?

that's so heartless
don't let the horses hear you

well don't be misleading now
our relationship isn't like that
don't make me be the one to break the news to you

In the long run, the sun and sunlight are better for the ecosystem overall. Horses have been gone for months. Another month won't hurt.

Even if your relationship isn't like that, what other reason would you have to ask me to tell Rose?

i can't believe you'd say that about seabiscuit
i for one could not have gone one more week without horses

her reaction's pretty funny

Horses are very fragile, and you could have because you would have had no idea when they would've returned.

I don't think you're telling the full truth, but I'm not going to expect it from you.

all these harsh judges on my character!
there's jo's influence peaking out

[the sisters are ro, clo, and jo.

because it sounds better than ro, clo, and jazz.

it's fine.]

I don't need to take after Jasmine to judge when you like to be cagey.

Are you telling me you've always been truthful?

[ this naming scheme.... baren why ]

if you're trying to call me out
that's kind of a dumb standard to hold me to
everyone lies

I'm not trying to call you out about lying in general.

Everyone lies, but I think in some ways, you're very similar to Rose, and that's why you get along so well.

well
more similar to her than you and jo anyway
but you know
someone's gotta know the dirty shit about the world
or else who would you ask for tinder help from?

You are more similar to her than Jasmine or I, but that's not what I meant, and I could've asked someone else.

You were somehow the less awkward option.

was your other option actually asking ro

God, no. Rose still treats me like I'm ten sometimes.

then now i gotta know who else was in the running
