[ If Lark wasn't already blushing, he's definitely blushing now. It feels so...childish, to be comforted by something like this. After all, he's old enough that he shouldn't need this just because he couldn't go to bed.
Even so, he still tucks himself a little closer to her, hugging her back. ]
...there's nothing wrong with that. It's hard, being away from the people you love. Especially when you don't know when you'll see them again. Missing people... wishing you could see them again... we all struggle with things like that from time to time.
[ He hugs her back, and perhaps he's hiding his face against her. Even if it's Serenity, he'd rather she not see whatever face he's making too easily. ]
...I could only tell them about what I remembered by writing to them. And it's...it's probably selfish of me to wish I could hug them right now. Or even just hold their hands.
...it's not selfish at all. It would be weird if you didn't. There are... so many people that... sometimes I... just wish I could see. Silk, Jack, Hope... Ordine... I think about them all the time.
[She can't see his face so she'll just have to kiss the top of his head again instead.]
If it's selfish... well-- then I think we all are, sometimes.
...I love the current members of Bad End without a doubt. And I'm blessed to be surrounded by a lot of incredible people, and I wouldn't trade this time with them for anything.
That said... even in spite of that, there are times when I still feel lonely. Sure we're never alone-- but that doesn't mean that there aren't times when you don't wish that other people were here with you now. That hurting feeling... that's like loneliness too.
[ That was why he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He's glad so many people came to wake him up, but at the same time he still wished for Crane and Lancelot. He pulls back a little bit so that he can lean up to give Serenity another kiss in the cheek. ]
[She understands. And she never would have left Lark-- but she did feel a little bad for ruining such a nice dream.]
And it's hard, because I wish we didn't all get split up like this. But at the same time... if it weren't for this program... I never would have met so many of the people who are so incredibly precious to me now.

[ Serenity please, this is so embarrassing?! ]
no subject
Sorry, sorry-- but it's true you know? And I want you to be able to lean on me when you need me.
no subject
[ Because it certainly feels childish to say that he feels lonely.
...And maybe just a little too needy to say that he misses having Crane and Lancelot around. ]
no subject
Yep. Even then.

[ He leans in to give her a quick kiss on the forehead. ]
I love you a lot too.

Why don't you sleep with me tonight?
no subject
[ He cuddles her back. ]
... I miss doing this.

We don't have to do anything special. It could be just to talk or read or watch the stars...
no subject
...Is there anything you want to talk about?
no subject
[Sorry lil bro, but she's not letting herself get distracted.]

Do you ever feel lonely?

Haha, yeah. ...Despite everything, it hasn't been all bad. I got to meet you.
