Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

"Yes yes, the little pile of poems you had hidden in your backroom. Abby pointed them out to me while fetching your luggage (I didn't have time to read all of them, still need to do that later)." She chuckled softly, doing little more than just tapping his cheek with her lips when he moved to stare at her all pale like if he'd just seen a ghost.
"Talking of Abby and complaints though, we still need to talk about you not forcing her to potentially give you metal poisoning by installing tech in your body under unsanitary conditions - ever again. There was enough cadmium, mercury and lead in your head for them individually cause issues, it was harder to fix than the stab wounds were."

Amon simply nodded, his face quickly becoming the same color as Edel's hair.
He released his hold and gently removed himself from Edel's embrace before laying down on his side away from her, covering himself with the sheets and curling into a ball, face in his hands.

Oh dear heavens, this was absurdly adorable too! Edelweiss watched, an evergrowing fond smile forming on her lips, as Amon cocooned himself into an embarrassed blanket burrito and hid his face with his own hands.
"Awww, why are you hiding? I found the poems cute. And they helped me relax a lot." That was the truth, pure and simple. She'd have been in a way worse mood if there had been nothing to lessen the stress from yesterday's events, what with EIRAL masked harpies going on a rampage across the city and all that.
She sneaked a hand below his to touch his face, lightly brushing his cheek with her fingers. She felt tempted to just hug him tight, but that would have been hard while he was lying down, curled up and wrapped on layers upon layers of fabric all at once.

Amon just laid there for a bit, trying to regain composure, all the while screaming "WHHHHHHHhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy?!?!" internally.
Though admittedly, Edel's words and comforting touch did help calm the humiliation storm.
So he continued to lay there for a bit, before trapping Edel's hand in his grasp.
"...You...really liked them...?" he asked tentatively, taking a small peek to look back at her.

"Mhmm. I like most cute things, you know." She replied with a chuckle as he held her hand in place, then leaned over to place a little kiss on the top of his head. Could he un-cocoon himself a little bit? She would try and see if it was possible anyway - and gather him up in a hug again if it proves to be.

Amon continued to lay there for a few more moments before finally "un-cacooning" himself from the sheets and turning to latching Edel into a hug around her waist.
"...Sorry about the metal poisoning thing..." he eventually said, nuzzling her belly a little. "...It was an emergency operation because the guy kept aiming for my blind-side and I wanted to combat that weakness as soon as possible...I'll be more careful next time..."

"I do hope so. Mercury induces paranoia and psicosis," As if Amon hadn't been paranoid enough to start with. "I'm actually surprised you weren't having fits on a daily basis from that. And lead slows and disturbs brain signals and overall processes. You need your head in a functional state, alright." For literally everything, from his work to daily routine. Even for fights - proper depth perception didn't prove to be of much help if it came at the cost of making his brain defective, at least as far as the redhead could see it.
"Are you really alright with staying here until you recover? I do find it cleaner than your warehouse, but can imagine it might be a bit annoying to be stuck without all the gadgdets you're used to."
Amon hugged her a little tighter, resting his head on her lap.
"...You're here with me...I can manage..." he quietly replied.

At that she couldn't help but chuckle again, a faint but fond smile remaining on her lips afterwards and moving a hand to stroke his hair while he was busying himself with hugging her waist.
"Times like this is why I'm surprised that I'm your first girlfriend." If she didn't know better, that really wouldn't have been her first guess.

"...Honestly, with how kind and patient you are, I'm surprised you weren't already in a relationship..." Amon replied. "Really was a bit bittersweet really...on one hand, you were available...on the other, I didn't know whether you already had someone in mind...or that I even had an ice cube's chance in hell of being able to get your attention in the first place..."

"Why wouldn't you?" The redhead couldn't help but ask with a giggle at that statement of his, about not knowing if he had 'an ice cube's chance in hell'. Though once it ceased she took a moment to ponder how to respond to the comments before it.
"...It's harder to find people who both know me enough to consider it and who want an actually serious relationship than it looks. I did go out with someone else for a while before we got together, but it didn't end very well. She was rather whimsical, and disappeared at random times. Probably is out there in some foreign land right now, on some aimless adventure." Small shrug. "I guess you can say dating a pirate did make me a more patient person, but I don't think I'd do it again." They were unforeseeable, the lot of them. Far too in love with their own wanderlust to truly settle down - Edelweiss could see traces of that even in Caitlin, and as fond as she is of her rogue friend she also didn't think that is going to change any time soon.

"Mhm. Her name was Sarah. I think there's a picture of her somewhere amid those old albums? The blond brown-eyed girl." Another shrug. "Honestly she's also one of the reasons I'm glad you don't drink."

A moment of full clarity later, Amon quickly buried his face into Edel's belly, nuzzling her and emitting a whining groan.
