[Well, she certainly seems to be better.]

Are you okay now?

[Always and ever concerned, this one.]

[therealbrianna]

[ A sad sigh, which then turns into a sad pout. ]

A little... [ She trails off. There's still some bitterness in there. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Well, now you're going to have him shifting over to reel you gently in with one arm. The better to plant a kiss on your forehead, right?]

I'm okay. It's always going to turn out okay.

[therealbrianna]

[ She slightly dips her head down to make it easier for Hikaru, then looks back up at him. ]

I'm optimistic that they will. Specially since I'm around. I love you, okay daddy?

[icarusalsoflew]

I know you do. And I thank you for that.

[He means it, even if it's hard not to look a little sad. He's still convinced, in many ways, that loving him is a bad idea.

He respects your decision, though, as he respects the decisions that every other person in positions similar to or exactly like yours have made. It isn't his choice to make: he's learning to understand that.]

[therealbrianna]

No need to thank me.

[ She means that. Though it's Brianna's choice to feel that way for her daddy, somehow... Things just fell into place. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[He'll just smile at her there, because he's one to believe that gratitude should always be given, in whatever form.]

Anyway, I've got to go on duty soon. I can walk you back to your house, if you like.

[therealbrianna]

[ She returns his smile with one of her own, and a reassuring squeeze on the hand. ]

I'd like that.
