Yeah, the other time was kind of...weird. I guess humans from Glenwood don't normally have it unless they're old, so my body didn't think it should have it either when it was changed? Or something...
I know some people in the high school section that have the same hair color, but it suits you. It makes you seem wiser... and kinder. [ She means fluffier. ] But...
[ It's hitting her that they're speaking out loud and not telepathically. ]
Mikleo, are the goggles supposed to make me hear you, too?
You noticed...I think it's some kind of perceptional trick? People seem to be able to register my voice once they've seen me. I don't know why that's so. But it's useful, isn't it!
[Dirk doesn't have to craft people Earleos. Miklears? oh my god, there is no good name for those]
[he can't quite step out of the hug since he's in a chair, but he does straighten up in his seat after a bit, smiling down at her]
I'd say something about how it's a great honour to see the spirits, but actually that's just embarrassing coming out of my mouth...it's not silly, though.
[he sounds a bit shy, now]
There aren't a lot of specific people I've, um, really really wanted to be able to do that. But, you're one.
[ He could stand up and dislodge her, and Hotaru would be okay with it. As he straightens, she lets go. Hotaru's practically glowing as she smiles, and she laughs a little, bubbling with happiness. ]
It's a great honor, and I'm not embarrassed to say it. It means the world to me. I have something to tell... or show you later.
[ It's more serious, and she doesn't want to ruin the happy moment by being all doom and death a la Sailor Saturn. ]

I'll take them off when I sleep, but I want to see you whenever I can!
[ Hotaru leans back and looks at him closely. ]
Do you always have white hair?
[ She remembers the brown hair when he got depowered. ]

It is! [ Hotaru will continue loosely hugging Mikleo until he pulls away himself. ] It makes me feel more special somehow. Is that silly?

But I disrupted you. What are you reading?
