Rana nodded slowly. “But why would a Southern god tell you to go North?”

"I don't know." He picked at his ham. "I don't know."

“Sorry… I just… there’s a lot I don’t understand. Or what this has to do with me.”

"Maybe it has nothing to do with you," he suggested. "In which case I'm sorry for burdening you with my troubles. But pay close attention to your dreams and your surroundings, on the off chance we're connected somehow. I'm sure it's not one of my gods, though."

She nodded. “I will… thank you for speaking to me. I know this was an odd way to approach you.”
(Ahhhh Girl is incredible our date went 7 hours lol)

"Not many ways you can approach someone with a situation as strange as this." He offered a little smile. "Good luck to you, and safe travels. Perhaps our paths will cross again up North."

(Haha! We got lunch and then went back to her place and started chit chatting and then suddenly it was 8 pm and we were both surprised lol Date #4 is scheduled for next Sunday I plan to ask her to be my girlfriend Friday so we have a cool 2-3-23 anniversary if she says yes lol But she just asked me to go to something with her in June which feels like a really good sign??? That she’s planning to want to be with me then???)
“Perhaps.” She nodded, returning the cautious smile. “… I wish I could share where we’re going, but I doubt my father would appreciate that. Is the nature of yours sensitive or could you say?”

(I'm so happy for you! That's so wonderful. I bet she'll say yes; it seems like she really likes you.)
"It is somewhat sensitive, yes." He nodded. "Sorry."

(Thanks! I hope so. I feel like such a giddy little kid lol it’s so exciting)
“That’s alright, I understand.” She nodded as well, then hesitated, glancing back over at Lia who was staring at them. She glanced back. “Uh… I may have told my sister I was just coming over to ask where you got your necklace… would you mind telling me that?”

"Oh, this?" His hand went up to it, fidgeting with the little beads and golden teardrops. "My mother gave it to me at my Ukuwa ceremony--a coming of age tradition about falling and rebirth. I'm sure it came from one of the local goldsmiths."

"Thank you." He returned the smile. "Sorry; that's probably not much help."

“Not at all.” She shook her head with a polite smile. “It was just an excuse, really. She’s…” she was quiet for a moment, considering how to explain the hot mess that was Lia. “… just young. There are some things she’s not ready to hear yet is all. Much easier to lie about a necklace.”
(27 years old and still having friend drama smh)

"That's fair. Especially since you don't know what's going on yourself--I barely know."

(Alas. I just talked to one of my besties for like an hour and am feeling mostly better about things. But my best friend of 10 years basically told me our friendship as we know it is over because she can’t condone me being gay. We’re still figuring out what that means moving forward but I think unless she has a change of heart it’s gonna mean a lot more distance and loss of said friendship. Which fucking hurts)
“Exactly.” She nodded. “… well, thank you for talking. I hope your journey is safe and smooth and that we both figure out what’s going on.”
