[It's been quite awhile since Runyu last made a post of his own on here. But he's feeling the mood for it. So he turns on the video and offers a smile to the network as a whole before he starts speaking. His dragon features are on full display.]

You know, when I arrived here I had committed a great many evil deeds. I looked on this place as a sort of new location to finish out my years of isolation for all that I'd done. Yet as I've been here I've found friendship, love, and, most of all, healing. Though my crimes are still many and cruel, I've found that I can atone for what I have done here.

[He laughs softly and shakes his head.]

Yesterday I was blessed to witness two people I love so very much get married to each other. Something I never would have been able to be part of before through entirely the fault of my own. I'm grateful, to say the very least.

[The dragon lowers his head a moment with a soft smile.]

Forgive me, I'm rambling. Thousands of years of life will make you ponder a great many things, I suppose.

[Runyu lifts his head again.]

I wondered if anyone has found healing here as well. A chance to grow to be someone better than they were and to heal from the shadows of the past. I'd like to hear your stories if you are willing to share them. Thank you.

There was a time when I would have shared these men because I felt I didn't deserve them. I even extended myself out. But I've come to realize I can't do that anymore. What we have is between the three of us.

I'm sure it looks like we're sharing each other but in truth we aren't. We're as united as two people would be together.

Glad it works for you. And that you're all happy together. That's the important part.

(( He would be devastated if Pete ever fell for someone else! ))

[dragonrising]

Thank you. I'm glad for that as well. I've had enough misery for several lifetimes. It's nice to have peace with them.

[safesex]

I'll drink to that.

(( Vegas knew a little something about misery. Maybe not lifetimes of it, but still. It wasn't until very recently, just before arriving here, that he began to get a taste of what real happiness was. ))

[dragonrising]

I'll have to stick to tea myself. But I would be happy to have a drink with you sometime.

[He knows that's not what was offered but he's happy to offer it himself.]

(( If Vegas has learned one thing since being here, it's that not everyone he encounters can handle alcohol. Or maybe they just don't want it, which is equally valid. ))

You ever had coffee?

[dragonrising]

Coffee? No. I'd be willing to try it though.

[safesex]

It's a hot drink. Depending on how you have it can be bitter or more on the sweet side. I heard there's a chain in Yokohama if you wanna give it a try sometime. Where I come from, it's pretty common for people to get coffee together.

[dragonrising]

[Runyu smiles at him and nods.]</small. I'd like to try it then since you recommended it. Let me know when would be good for you and we can go together.

[safesex]

My family's gonna be moving to Yokohama pretty soon. Maybe we can set something up when we get settled.

[dragonrising]

I know the area. Please contact me when you are settled. I'll bring a gift for your new home.

[safesex]

I'll do that. Count on it.

[dragonrising]

I look forward to it. And I'm glad you spoke with me. It was good meeting you.

[safesex]

Likewise. I'll let you know when we're settled and we can set a date then.

[dragonrising]

Take care until then.

Ah and I'm Runyu, by the way.

[safesex]

Vegas Theerapanyakul.

See you around.
