I've noticed the trend towards asking our fellow transports philosophical questions on this network. While I can't say I particularly see the appeal, there is something about which I am curious of others' opinions.

Namely - how would you define a home?

If it's not something you'd wish to talk about, there's no point in answering; similarly, I don't mind answering, myself, for the curious - it's only polite when asking, after all.

( before anyone bothers with either of those points. homes aren't something he's thought about in years, really, fairly certain of the fact that he doesn't have one anymore; but after eight months or more in exsilium...he's starting to, a little bit. )

Stubborn? That's a new one.

( except not, but she knows that. )

I think it's always been there, right between "smart" and "sweet." Or was that "willful?"

[ex_bandai157]

"Smart" is acceptable enough, but that's the only one.

Says the hero! So modest, not accepting strong-willed or sweet or probably also handsome.

( She shakes her head, whistling. )

Be he ever so humble, our Barnaby Brooks!

I'll do my best, anyway.

[whatsupcroc]

I can only aspire to handle everything with a fraction of your grace.

( She winks. )

And while I might not totally mean that, I do mean the rest of what I was saying. You're part of my home here, even if you go.

( Which is a whole lot harder to say than she thought it'd be, for all it ends up blurted out in the end. She smiles, glances away, and shrugs. )

I'm honored, Collette.

( he says it with complete sincerity, rather than shying away from it. )

[whatsupcroc]

( She pauses in turn. She'd more expected he might do otherwise, but having him say that, act and sound like it's okay... Collette smiles, a different kind of spontaneous affection that leaves her feeling warm. Glancing at the camera, she glances back down at her hands before she looks up once more. )

I'm glad.

( And that's all she feels like she has to say, hearing that he doesn't find it rude or intrusive or unwanted that he matters like that to her. )
