[Scott's been feeling all kinds of ways since returning to Aldrip. A little off his feet? Not upset exactly, not when he remembers everyone important to him, but it's still a lot. Kind of weird that he's actually older here than back home, and that's not mentioning suddenly getting almost two years of memories shoved inside his head that he completely forgot about until now. But he's trying. A part of him wants to just lie on the bed with Kotone and just take more time to himself, but he figures that he should say something to his friends.

Maybe focusing on them will help. Better than thinking about Alex or how Apocalypse sort of ruined everything back home.

He breathes in, fiddling with his tablet. Something in him wants to change his username from 'shades' to 'cyclops,' but maybe not right now.]

hey, i'm back now. sorry if i worried anyone. a lot happened, like, back home. yeah i went home and came back. i'm okay though.

[None of that sounded super awkward, right.]

if you wanna meet up, i'll be at the diner. you're paying though.

[ooc: Scott's back from his canon update and just Dealing with Stuff. Totally open to threading Scott meeting others in person! Also, he'll be back in regular clothes for the time being, but he will be wearing his visor for now.]

[She laughs aloud, a little pleased that he's still so easy to fluster after all this time. It's cute, and she shifts her hand from his cheek to his hair, combing it free from its styled gel with obvious affection.]

Oh, good! [she teases, eyes sparkling because she knows exactly what he's thinking with a blush like that. It sooths a fear she hadn't even realized was lurking there; that maybe after his time away, he'd be less attracted to her somehow, or less interested. Looks like there's nothing to worry about on that front! So even if she's trying to tease, her voice still has an undercurrent of relief beneath it as she adds a little more softly,] I'm glad.

[She even leans up, seeking his lips for a kiss as if to prove it.]

[His hair uncoils as she runs a hand through it, strands falling to his face and maybe making him look just a little younger as he continues to smile at her. At least more messy! His hair no longer carefully combed but just ruffled thanks to her, but he'd have it no other way. It's just the two of them (and Phoenix) right now, their little moment in time away from everyone else.

He wants to commit this to memory. Also having this as his first full memory upon returning here? He wants nothing else.]

There's no one else who I'd rather be with, Koto. [He murmurs, some of the heat from his face fading as he smiles down at her, returns her kiss with ease. It really is like no time has passed, even though it's been a couple of months for him.]

That hasn't changed. [He brushes some of her hair away from her face, while gently rubbing his thumb against the skin of her hip.] It won't change.

[He wants to say it, despite the circumstances surrounding them. Maybe because it really has been the first time since they were separated from each other. Scott just wants to believe it as much as he can. For as long as possible.]
