[Oh dear. Did she overdo it? She's guilty of indulging in a bit of harmless teasing from time to time, but maybe Tavros just wasn't ready for it...?]

Are you feeling well, dear?

[It takes a few attempts at swallowing before he can actually get himself to speak.]

Y-Yeah! I'm, okay... It's just a very big surprise, to... Uh, s-see a troll that is, an adult and not... young, like me! And also, uh, someone who looks so much like Kanaya.

[This doesn't surprise the older troll, after having witnessed the distrust in quite a few similar reactions from his peers. Dolorosa smiles gently.]

I thought as much. Are you scared? It's okay to feel that way; from what I have gathered, adult trolls are naturally feared by you and your friends.

[Tavros looks slightly confused at her statement. Scared? No, he wasn't really scared. He didn't really understand why he should be scared, to be honest. Well, maybe he would have been if she'd appeared scarier. But no, she was nothing but helpful.]

No, I...can't say that, I feel scared of you. You're actually, uh, really nice! And kind of the opposite of scary, uh... if you don't mind me saying.

[There is a quiet laugh at that.]

I don't mind that at all, Tavros; I find that very flattering.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

Oh, okay. That's, uh, good to hear, then...

[He trails off for a few moments and is quiet, before he finally figures out what more he wanted to say.]

I have a couple of, questions... Uh, if you don't mind. First, do you have a name...? Because I'm assuming it, uh, isn't 'Adult Kanaya', since you mentioned that... You're not, actually her. And second...you sort of implied that, my friends are here...? Is that, uh, true?

[video]

[mylphofspace]

[She nods reassuringly.]

You may call me Dolorosa. As for your friends: some of them are here, yes. Perhaps they will see your message soon, and make themselves known.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

[He can't help but grin at what she says.]

Oh, that is... uh, a really nice thing to hear! I can't wait to see, some of them, after it's been so long... Do you, uh, think that they will, still remember me?
