"She claimed she asked you to find me. But well, looking at your face, either you don't remember me or my name, either she found someone credible to hide her reckless move."
Another bite of cookie.
"But hey, you are not mystery at all for me ! That's a good thing you know !"
Nider nodded, smiling as he took a cookie.
"Tamara Gainsborough," he replied, taking a bite on the cookie. "A friend of mine who suddenly find a way to communicate with me through the universes. And not in a safe way..."
By safe way he meant : he got some troubles because of this.
(...)
"Nah, yours would be better in this case.
Go on in Earth, in Sydney. We shall see an extraordinary firework in 12 minutes."
"... Sly."
// 👋
Nider smiled, letting a small "Thank you" whispered before he landed his hands on her shoulder.
"I have an idea, do you still have your device to transport us or should we use my way ?" He asked, hoping she had it .
"Arf- not even an idea of what do you want ?"
He pressed his lips on her forehead.
"Just think about it. Describe to me what would be the best place to spend New Year's Eve together."
He smiled, booping her nose.
"So where do you want to go, ma belle ?"
"Anywhere you like as long as it doesn't remind you of this place."
"To hang out in another world, my love."
His voice was steady, devoid of the sudden stress and trying to keep the cool and warm he usually get.
"... Nider Ravaren, but you probably know me as Redin. A pleasure to meet you." He tried, extending a hand.
Turned his head softly, slowly take a bit of distance, memories of a trauma associated with this name coming back.

At first, the Aasimar doesn't really pay attention, it isn't a first someone come to the bard and try to force out a connection. But...
That name... That title...
After a few seconds of an embarrassing silence, he (...)
Slowly breaking the kiss, looking at him with a shake of head.
"You're incorrigible..." He missed playfully
It does Sly. I don't judge, but we need to know front where we are going ?
"Jinx ? May I offer you something for New Year's Eve ?
// I hope you too bud
Doesn't say a thing, his smile says it for him : I missed you, miss.
*doesn't reply at first to make him stress, before holding the back of his head and kissing back with love*
And before we met ?
But you better doing this quick before I change my mind
Really really? Should I really make a graph with your daily routine?
Cats don't have sex with other cats all the time they are awake, Sly.
You can.
It's only 8 AM Sly, already exhausted?
*pouts, arms crosses* you meanie.
Hmmmm.... What's a console gaming company?
... *Very sad face*
Click ? Click on a speech ?
