[ Hopefully everyone had fun on the Arco Lunar! The morning after the boat departs from the docks, a letter arrives to your mailbox: ]

Hello, intrepid adventurer!

I am excited to have you along for a group excursion to the mysterious new island! In two days' time, let us gather in the town square and set off from there! Please be prepared to stay the night. It will be so fulfilling and memorable for everyone to spend a night on an adventure together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please come find me at my flower shop in town or at the forest farm where I live!

Sincerely,
Oriphi

[ If she accidentally delivered it to a few wrong mailboxes, then... Oops!

On the promised day, once everyone (and likely a few surprise tag-alongs) has gathered or been gathered, Ori distributes little paper bags of snacks to everyone. Inside are cookies, oat snacks, and a freshly-picked apple from her and M-21's orchard. Do with them as you please... Just don't let her catch you throwing it into the sea or something. 🥺 ]

Alright. I think we should head out, then! Thanks for coming along, everyone! I hope it'll be a great time. Oh, and please don't forget to drink plenty of water and use this incredible ointment I discovered on this island! It's called "sunscreen!" Tieflings don't really get sunburnt, but you should use it!

[ And with that our intrepid adventurers set off to the mysterious, dangerous, unknowable... resort island! ]

( This is the ill-fated mass ~~extinction~~ memshare event. Please refer to the event for details on the resort and the plotting post for any specific details for characters' memshares! There are toplevels for each area of the resort (and for the memshare). Enjoy! )

[Ah. Syrlya's expression collapses to just exhaustion as he realizes it's Trahearne.]

I'm going out on a limb to say you had a horrible sleep last night.

I can most certainly say I've slept better.

[ The tired is evident on his own face, too. ]

It seems I'm not alone. How are you doing?

Exhausted. [That's some of the most restless sleep he's ever had, plagued with his worst nightmares--and others.] I look forward to getting out of this place.

[This resort! He's never coming back!! 1 star on Yelp.]

[ Trahearne gives a weak chuckle at that. ]

That's a sentiment we share. We'll be out of here soon, I believe. I doubt we'll ever have to come back.

[ Maybe...it'd be nice with one other person. Not an entire sleepover.

After a quiet moment of looking at Syrlya, he steps in to loosely wrap his arms around him in a hug. ]

[Syrlya sags into the embrace as he takes a large bite of his breakfast sandwich. Mm... bacon.] I certainly don't plan to if its idea of bonding is showing our worst memories to each other.

Have you eaten?

[ Mmm... It's a good way to start talking, though. Trahearne will be thinking about Palawa Joko for a while, but they don't need to talk about him now. ]

No, I've just gotten up. [ He peers down at the sandwich. ] Where did you get that?

Cafeteria. [Of course a resort has a cafeteria. Gotta get that nice 3 course meal.

Syrlya lifts his sandwich up to Trahearne's mouth. Eat.]

[ Of course! It's a fancy place.

Trahearne eyes the sandwich before leaning into take a bite. Oh, that is nice.

When he swallows, he opens his mouth again, asking permission for another bite. ]

[Syrlya's expression twitches with amusement, but he keeps holding the sandwich up so Trahearne can keep eating. He can always get another one.]

[ Delighted, Trahearne takes a second bigger, slightly second bite. A bit of a cheeky move on his part.

As he finishes chewing, he flashes Syrlya a smile--mostly in his eyes and cheeks. He is a sylvari with manners (mostly). And he's not going to steal someone else's food (even though he can always get another one). ]

Thank you. That's very good.

I thought so too. [He lowers his sandwich so he can properly take another bite from it, chewing slowly.] More importantly it doesn't seem to do anything weird.

[ Trahearne seems to freeze a bit at the remark, staring wide-eyed at Syrlya.

Slowly, he brings a hand to his mouth, as though waiting for something to happen.

...Nothing. ]

By the Pale Tree, you're right. I hadn't even considered that. [ HE JUST KEEPS PUTTING STUFF IN HIS MOUTH--

His hand drops to its spot around Syrlya's back again. ] That's a relief.

[Trahearne, if Syrlya knew about the aphro chocolates...

He hums.] You should probably get something yourself, since there will be a longer trip back to your farm.

[ WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE APHRO CHOCOLATES.

Trahearne smiles a touch. ]

I should.

[ He steps back from the hug, giving Syrlya some room. ]

Would you care to accompany me?

Sure. [He stuffs the rest of his sandwich in his mouth before dusting his hands and than taking Trahearne's to lead him to the cafeteria. He's just assuming Trahearne doesn't know which way it is.

At this hour, at least, there's still plenty of the buffet left.]

[ He might not've been there yet, but he knows the general direction of where it is (he can also read signs).

Not that he's going to say no to holding hands with Syrlya, though. He quickens his pace to fall in step beside him. All the way there, he seems pretty content, despite the poor quality of sleep.

And set upon the buffet, Trahearne returns not too long after with some bacon, a few grilled mushrooms, and a bread roll. He is very pleased with his selection. ]

There's so much food.

[Syrlya releases Trahearne's hand so he, too, can go grab another breakfast sandwich and some fruit.]

And it's all free, so take whatever you'd like... and maybe some for the road. [Keep them awake until they can actually crash at their respective farms.]

[ Are there little to-go cartons? There are now!

Trahearne takes the advice and grabs a couple of bananas and drops them inside. It's a good idea.

There's a moment where he pauses as he grabs a coffee cup, staring briefly into space, before his head whips to look at Syrlya. ]

Are you going straight home after this?

[Syrlya nods.] I think I need some better rest before I plant our new crops for the season. I was expecting this whole venture to be... more relaxing than it was.

A reasonable plan. I think all of us need better rest after that.

[ Oh, but he wishes he could go home with Syrlya, nap with him.

But that's probably not a good idea, not after the past few days. A brief, wistful look crosses his eyes, but it's gone in an instant. He flashes him a smile. ]

When you've recovered, we should go for a nice dinner.

Should I plan that this time? [Given, you know, how Trahearne's attempt went.

If he has to take responsibility for this, so be it.]

[ Trahearne fixes him with a lopsided smile. ]

I've learned my lesson. I'll make the due preparations ahead of time.

[ The coffee from the machine dispenses, and he thinks for a moment. He may as well do that first thing when they get back. ]

I'll try not to disappoint this time.

[ At least in that department. ]

All right. [He really would like to do something romantic. Spending time with Trahearne in general is nice, of course, but... he's still a little unsatisfied from missing the chance to have an intimate night. One that maybe they could have built up to tender kisses instead of Syrlya being hit with the intensity while he was still dwelling on other matters.

He opens his mouth to say something else, and then thinks better and closes it. He occupied himself with eating his second breakfast sandwich.]

[ It is settled. He will do his job this time. Properly.

The coffee is dispensed, Trahearne places the lid on, and he turns to Syrlya, giving him a playful nudge in the shoulder.

His voice is playful, but quiet. Meant for them only. ]

I love you.

[ He is none the wiser to any other sentiment Syrlya might have shared. ]

[Syrlya leans in slightly to better hear Trahearne as he lowers his voice. He looks over Trahearne with a sort of curiosity.]

I love you, too. [His voice does not match the whisper at first. But it dips down to say:] I think... much longer than you.

[And then he turns on his heels to head for the dock, abandoning Trahearne with that.]
