IN THE FOREST OF THE LOST



it's all too perfect.

[ With everything settled, it's one again time for McGillis to hang back a little and just watch as the others mingle and celebrate. At least, he's smiling this time.

He's glad they have Mafuyu back, and he's glad she's out of that house that would have swallowed her whole.

He won't mind being approached, even if he himself is not going to interfere with the big friendly pile of hugs and kisses. ]
vogelfrei: (smile; the softest)

[ Hey there, girl of the hour. McGillis gives her a genuine soft look. ]

Don't mention it. I know what it's like when you need to get out.

[ He never left, in the end, but there's no reason she should suffer the same way all her life. ]

How are you feeling?
vogelfrei: (smile; soft?)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2024-09-30 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear it.

[ A weight that has lifted, huh...? Not a bad sensation to imagine, at least. ]

You can go wherever you want after all this is over - and be whatever you want to be.

It's hard to feel anything like that when your home is so suffocating.

[ In fact, McGillis doesn't think he's ever felt that feeling in his whole entire life, oops. ]

Are you keeping your options open on whether to go back to your world and live with your friends or come with someone from here?
vogelfrei: (serious; faint smile)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2024-09-30 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You still have some time.

[ And thank god for that. Three months are feeling very short and very long at the same time here. ]

I'm also in the market for a new world to live in - what we look for in that might not be similar, but we can cheer each other on in finding something suitable, right?
vogelfrei: (serious; listening)

I'm not entirely certain yet.

[ His goals were always tied to his own world and its intricacies, but that door is closed now. It's been a strange and slow process, trying to reconsider who he is and what he wants to be. ]

But I'd enjoy being in a world where I can do something meaningful - if that means the world is dangerous, that is welcome to me as well.
vogelfrei: (smile; pleased with self)

Mhm, yes. It's fun.

[ Standing on stage in the harsh spotlights, acting out ridiculous-sounding grandiose lines as an audience pays rapt attention... He's been enjoying it even more than he expected to. ]

But it's not something I could dedicate my life to, if that makes sense?
vogelfrei: (serious; important pondering)

Improving the rules of society and creating a better future.

[ Putting it in more broad categories than his very specific goals from home. ]

Gjallarhorn, the military I was part of before coming here, is also a world government institution. I can't go back to that and the work I started there, but I'd want a life in which I can help create an ideal tomorrow for a different world instead.
vogelfrei: (smile; this is really his default)

I'm afraid I'm the kind of person who gets antsy when there is too much downtime - but I do appreciate the sentiment.

[ Incorrigible workaholic. He wouldn't know what to do with himself... ]
