[Dio beamed at that, as she understood exactly what he was getting at.]

Of course it would.

[He was smiling, no matter what the implications to that were. He could never have a light of his own, and so he reflected the light of others. It was alright, it was simply what he was, and it had it's merits.]

You see the good in me, because you are so good yourself. I can't thank you enough for that. [It was a good thing, as far as he was concerned, and he used the moment to pull her into an embrace. Maybe it would be good to chase a sun across the sky that he might actually manage to catch up to.]

You know, I've never done anything like this before.

[shockshot]

[She laughed quietly. Did she really possess such light? She didn't know about that. But did that mean before he was reflecting nothing at all, that he couldn't be good? She wasn't so sure about that.]

I think I see the good in you because you are good. And a bunch of other things too.

[She wrapped her arms around him, pressing her cheek against him. Maybe she would be the sun that would be captured by the moon.]

Hm? Never been this high up before, you mean?

[dioception]

I am certainly trying to be, but I've a ways to go yet.

[A few months of repentance do not a century of evil erase, but it was a start. He smiled down at her, loving the feeling over her arms around his body.]

No, I've been up this high before, though... not here in Between. But I was more referring to coming up just to be here. To see the sky, and take in the world around us.

[And being up this high in Cairo wasn't like being here. Here, the nighttime was only lit by the light of the moon and stars, and it was easy for him to see everything here, unobscured by street lights and neon signs, and rather lonely comparatively. Very few people wandered the streets of the settlement here at night these days. He had noticed the disappearance of the other nocturnal creatures, after all.]

I have never really seen it from this angle.

[shockshot]

You're trying. That counts.

[She tells him that, and it might be a few months, but months can turn to years, to centuries. And that can be repentance, and not the angsty kind.]

Really? That's...well, I guess it's easy to forget.

[That there's a naked sky, that they can come up here like this. She didn't really get a chance to do this at home, but she wanted to. It was a little like freedom, light pollution or no. She took in a slow, deep breath, leaning against him more.]

I tried going up during the rain but...that was just a bad idea. I couldn't support myself.

This is better for it anyway.

[Leaning her cheek against a hot guy, looking at the stars and the settlement, What could be better?]

[dioception]

[Dio was still rather uncertain on how he needed to go about his repentance, so he had definitely given thought to various forms of symbolic self-flagellation. That wasn't on his mind right now, however, just happy in this moment. With Masaki pressed against his chest, just floating in the sky as if suspended in water.]

Is it difficult to lift yourself...? [He wondered how that must be. It sounded like it would have taken her a lot of energy to remain suspended, not to mention suspended alongside himself.]

It is better, looking around during the mild weather. Who knows, perhaps this winter we will get snow again, and then we could come look at it again. I think that'd look lovely...

[shockshot]

[Helping people was always a good start. But that was another time, when they weren't enjoying each others company high in the air.]

More difficult then usual. But I think it's because it's...well. It's kind of complicated, but let's just say it's nothing like it would be normally.

[They were on place with thin air, so to speak, but she didn't want to get into the details. She wasn't ready to go on about her words weirdness.

Not just with him, but with most people.]

But...I've never come up to the sky when it's snowing before.

[Her expression becomes wondering, and she stares up at the sky, trying to picture it. They could catch snowflakes.]

I'd like that. A lot.
