[ A few moments pass and then: ]

Hey, I love you. <3

[laserhawk]

[ oh . . . that's cute. dolph just sits with the message for a while before responding. ]

I love you too.

[neighsaying]

[ Just because! Just because Dolph is sweet and deserves to hear it as many times as he wants. ]

All right, I have to get back to deliveries. Will you be back at the farm tonight?

[ He still asks. ]

[laserhawk]

Yeah, I'll be there.

[ he wonders if he should . . . broach new things with jean now. or wait until later when eren and himself have made more sense of it. ]

[neighsaying]

Okay.

[ A moment later: ]

I like having you there, and Eren does too.

[laserhawk]

. . . And that's enough?

[neighsaying]

Enough for?

[ For Jean, for them, for Dolph? ]

[laserhawk]

For all of us.

Is it enough?

[neighsaying]

I'm not sure what you mean, exactly. It makes me happy. That's enough for me.

It doesn't have to be enough for you. It's not only about what we want.

[laserhawk]

I guess I'm just not sure yet. If the farm is what I imagined a home to be.

[neighsaying]

It doesn't have to be.

It can be a place you're welcomed at, if you don't want to think of home. Or - you can have more than one place you call home.

For me, it's not a place, it's the people. You're my home as much as Eren is. I'll go wherever you are.

[laserhawk]

[ maybe that's it. why he drags his feet on the concept of home. because long ago, the only home he did know was alex. he felt safest with him.

and even that was lost so abruptly, he was reeling months later. people can be a home, but should they? ]

Then maybe it's not. For now. Maybe I just need time.

[neighsaying]

That's fine. I'm not going to be mad if you don't feel the same way.

That's why we're talking about the house, right? Because we can make it a home.

[laserhawk]

Yeah.

I just want to find a place I feel I belong in.
