[ Peers at the neighborhood, eye a little shiny. Excited... familiar! And something they remember. ]
The lighthouse would be great. I'd love to see the view again. [ To the train... Though pauses for a moment once they head onto the newly arrived train. ] Oh, right. I have something for you..
[ Hands out a handmade dreamcatcher. ] ..It took a couple of attempts. I've never made one before, so..
Then let's head that way. [ they're on the train and it's waiting for them to settle, which means that when siffrin hands him the dreamcatcher he isn't quite fast enough to stifle the emotionshare which is a burst of surprise and just being deeply touched. ]
... you already made me the lion. [ MORE GIFT? ] Siffrin, this is beautiful. [ what the fuck is he supposed to do with this, he's so baffled and flattered and also just looking over the craftsmanship. ]
[ Their own shared emotions continue to be fond, a bit amusement, but a soft fretting. The weaving isn't exactly perfect, they're probably a bit sloppy here and there in the works at closer look. Siffrin offers a smile, but it's still unsure. (wish craft would have made it perfect) ]
..I did. [ A blink. Wondering where that train of thought is going before.. ] You're my friend, Jonas. Making gifts is like... [ Hmm. ] Making memories. Even if there's a chance... something might be forgotten.. the memory is there, physically. Plus, it was a new experience for me.. it was fun.
[ A hand raises as if to fiddle with their hat except you know they have suffered weeks not having but it's fine, kinda tugs a little at a strand of their own hair. ] They're meant as something for protection. From bad dreams and nightmares.
The fact that it isn't perfect is kinda what makes it perfect, you know. [ just gently addressing the thought. but the rest is just enough to make his own feelings continue to be very soft, don't just come after his ass like this. ]
... I like that way of thinking. That a gift is like a memory. It's a piece of you that you're giving another person, so that even if you may not remember later, that connection's there.
[ but it's not like he doesn't know what a dreamcatcher is, so there's a little lopsided smile even when siffrin explains. ]
Between you and me, I could probably use something like this. [ the nightmares have been worse than usual, my guy. ]
