027 VOICE LIST ELEVEN

[deadliestviper]

[When Beatrix speaks her voice is hesitant, perhaps a little disturbed, for such a brief and pleasant message. Those who are aware both of her and the current date may be able to guess why.]
To whoever left them outside my door, thanks for the flowers.

[Private to Ben]
My warden informed me about your situation. Check in. [She knows he'll respond better to that than to an "I'm so sorry, are you okay?"]

[Private to Kon]
...Hey.

[Private to Iris]
I need you to let me into the pub.

[She immediately opens the door, stepping back with a half-smile to invite him in.]

Hi, sweetie. What's new?

[an_abomination]

[Steps inside, turning to his side so she can't see what's behind his back.]

Oh, you know. This and that. I'm actually celebrating a new holiday. New to me, that is.

[Holds his arms out in front of him, displaying his "World's Best Mom" mug and some flowers he picked from the CES room.]

[When he offers the gifts Bea immediately tears up, ducking her head to hide her bittersweet smile with a laugh.] Oh my God.

[Naturally she pulls him into a bearhug, resting her chin on his shoulder as she squeezes him tight, biting her lip.] You're the sweetest kid I could ask for, Kon. Thank you, so much.

[Hugs her back tightly, being careful to not lift her off the ground, even though he's tempted to do it.]

You're welcome! You've been so great to me this past year. Watching out for me, giving me advice, helping me figure out I want to be and my worth, that I wanted to do a little something to show you how much I appreciate it.

[She's not letting go in a hurry and wouldn't fight if he picked her up, it would just be an opportunity to snuggle closer. On today of all days, a little extra comfort is just what she needs.]

Thank you. [Her voice nearly cracks.] I love you, thank you for –

You have no idea how much better my life is with you in it.

[an_abomination]

[Tightens the hug when he hears her voice crack.]

I feel the same way, and I hope you feel the same way about having me in your life for the rest of the day. I was thinking we could go to the art room and mess around there, for awhile. Then I have a surprise for dinner.

[deadliestviper]

Oh, honey. [Her arms tighten around him and she holds him close.] I don't just want today. You can be in my life for as long as I've got left.

[Kon sinks into the closeness, absorbing the comfort. When Bea holds him, it's different than when he hugs Steph or his friends. There's a nurturing nature to it, which he is sure is one of the big appeals of having a parent.]

I plan on it. My deal is to be able to travel to different places and visit people from the Barge once they leave.
