Partially that.

[There's a long pause here. She's not sure why she's not just spitting it out.]

Joel's here. I talked to him.

1/2

[sparklequeen]

Oh. Shit.

2/2

[sparklequeen]

What did you say?

[ If she could talk to her mom again, she's not sure she could keep "I missed you so much" from being the first thing out of her mouth. ]

[notathreat]

Asked him what the view was like from the moon. He took a shitty picture of it for me.

[sparklequeen]

He did his best, I'm sure.

What ARE you going to say to him?

1/2

[notathreat]

Fuck if I know, Glimmer.

I won't know until I see him.

2/2

[notathreat]

I'm going to see him.

Re: 2/2

[sparklequeen]

Yeah. Are you going to be okay?

[notathreat]

[Ellie hasn't been any semblance of okay since he died, but admitting that is a little much right now.]

Okay-okay or can I keep my shit together okay

[sparklequeen]

Can you keep your shit together okay?

[ Glimmer is pretty sure 'okay-okay' isn't in the cards right now. ]

[notathreat]

[Ellie's tempted to lie, but if there was anything Joel drilled into her, it was being honest about injuries, potential liabilities. At this point, it's a liability.]

Solid maybe.

[sparklequeen]

Alright. Thanks for telling me.

[ And she means it. ]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[notathreat]

Yeah, and fuck if I know.

Just this, I guess. Talking.

[sparklequeen]

I can definitely do that. I'll keep you company as much as you need.

[notathreat]

You too.

[sparklequeen]

Of course. That's what friends are for. Now more than ever we need to look out for each other.

[notathreat]

If you uh

want to meet him, you can

Once everything settles anyway

[sparklequeen]

I'd like that. He's important to you, so knowing him would be good.

[notathreat]

He'd probably like you, actually. He doesn't mind women who can boss him.

[sparklequeen]

I see why he likes you then.

[ Ellie is very forceful and in charge and that is very good as far as Glimmer is concerned. ]

[notathreat]

[Ellie snorts a little, not that Glimmer can hear.]

I was a snotnosed kid with an attitude. I gave him hell on the daily.

[sparklequeen]

Why do you sound like me when I was a kid?

[notathreat]

Shit, if we'd met when we were younger we would've gotten into all kinds of trouble.

[sparklequeen]

Oh, we totally would have. 100%.

[notathreat]

Water-gun fights in the castle halls?
