Auf Wiedersehen!

[For Florian]

Over dinner one night, just as Johann cuts them a slice of the cake he had made, he remarks, very gently: “I think it’s time for me to go home.”

The signs have been there. He didn’t get paired and the thought of doing so makes his skin crawl. He likes being here, being with his people, but he wants to stretch out, longs to have his feet back on the real ground and in the true ocean.

[Private to Xie Lian]

Will you take me home?

[Private to Sebastian]

Can I talk to you this evening? [He’s so nice and pleasant and polite! This isn’t suspicious at all!]

[Privately to Blitz and Malcolm separately]

Be home. I’m coming by.

[Private to Trevor]

You’re going to have to find somewhere else to live, I think. Unless you get your shit together and ask the Admiral for a change.

[Filtered to close CR]

I’m leaving soon. Going off to start my fucking life. Take care of Florian. Don’t let him get into trouble. I will hold each one of you personally responsible.

[Audio]

Tschüssikowski, bitches!

[Wen Ning starts missing him immediately, but doesn't let it show, already planning a nice goodbye basket of snacks.]

Good. I'm going to make whatever I want for breakfast now.

Oh! Make more skulls for me.

Or fish! With tentacles!

Skulls are easy. I can do fishballs, but I'll have to see if the library has anything on cooking octopus. We'll call it Johann Soup.

[Definitely not suspicious at all.]

Very well.

[And while, before, he'd unilatterally decide the place...]

Where?

[Huh...]

The deck. I'm already there.

In fifteen minutes, then.

[He needs to... drink a glass of water or maybe steel himself for whatever it's going to be this time.

But he shows up precisely on time. Still pale and tired-looking, but not as badly as earlier in the week.]

Just when I was getting comfortable too.

[he’s sad, but happy for Johann and hiding it behind being flippant]

You can always ask for my fucking room.

I've literally never asked the Necromancer for anything in my life. Not gonna start now.

...You headed back to your world?

I'm home. Not that I'm hiding. Don't think that, okay? What's going on, anyway? I usually have to cajole you unto coming over. Or be actively dying.

Do you want a drink?

Edited 2024-07-03 14:57 (UTC)

I do!

And I can't come and spend time with my brother?

Will you help me get something established there?

I'm to settle our house to wait for Florian's arrival.

I’ll keep an eye on him.

I have no plans to leave any time soon.

I know you don't. And we're spending part of the year in your world.

We'll miss you. But, congratulations. And thank you for the excuse to meddle.

Where are you headed?

Xie Lian's world.

He's offered it to us and I intend on making it a home.

He lets me call him Papa now.

Don't be a baby. You can skip work once or twice.

[Even when he calls, there's a moment of silent confusion, as Sweeney doesn't know where to start.]

Are...are you leavin' Florian?

[Romantically, he means. It's obvious from the start that Florian won't be departing with him.]

We're still getting married, if that's what you mean.

But I'm getting our house in order.
