Summary
“Well, I just…” she stops, sighs, starts again. “Thank you,” she says instead. She is so free and constant with her gratitude, Halsin notes, like someone who once used to fill those spaces with something else—apologies, perhaps, or self-doubt.
She clears her throat. “Now then. I came out here to play some music.” She speaks quickly, hastening her retreat from the topic. “Might I tempt you with a song?”
Halsin cannot keep himself from smiling broadly. “You can tempt me however you like,” he says, and delights in the particular shade of purple that spreads from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.
--
During a restless night at the Last Light Inn, Halsin finds himself drawn to an unexpected siren song.

Constantine smiles his hesitant little half-smile, and Arcade can’t stop himself.
Without thinking he blurts, “Please don’t sleep with Benny.”
Tan blinks. “What?” he croaks. He leans back a little, raising a confused brow. “Is…that what this was all about?”
__
The Courier has finally made it to the Lucky 38, after much hemming and hawing. Now that he's finally made it, after months on the road with his friends, there's only one thing left to do: confront the inevitable. The idea of it makes Arcade more anxious than he cares to admit.

Summary
i just wanted to explore the nostalgia and grief i felt after 5.3! my character remains nameless because this is less of a focus on her and more of a focus on how she's trying to compartmentalize all of the pain and suffering of a civilization she never thought she'd find kinship with and now she feels the same sort of melancholy pining that one feels after they wake from a dream, with none of the memories but all of the emotions left behind. :)
