[Vector sits at a cafe, a cup of tea before him. He looks no worse for wear. He's just as content as he normally is, the black eyes betraying no emotion.]

We have returned.

[He takes a sip of tea.]

We were recruited by Imperial Intelligence and had the most interesting adventures back in our world. We will miss some of our talks with Dr. Lorkin, but we are glad that we came back to friends we have made here.

[Private]

Agent, if you are still here, may we talk?

[Vector's gone through it all. He knows him now.

Aden hasn't exactly been okay, since Vector disappeared. He's been worried and moody and honestly drowning his sorrows at night. Which is why Aden is sticking with voice, as he doesn't want Vector to see him looking so pathetic.

Honestly he doesn't know how to feel about it.

Vector would probably have been happier, not going through all that.]

I'm here.

You are not a stranger to us, or someone we only just met anymore. We know you. We went through all those hardships together.

I know.

[It wasn't exactly difficult to come to that conclusion.

He stays silent on his end- he'll let Vector say what he needs to say, first.]

We see why you were so distressed upon meeting us here at first, when you were still a stranger to us.

May we start over, as if those initial meetings here did not happen?

There was nothing wrong with the ways we met here, Vector. I was hurt, but... Happy for you, too. You hadn't experienced... Well, you hadn't experienced any of the bad things that happened at home.

[The fact that Vector probably would have been happier without suffering through everything in their world, he leaves unsaid.

Good things happened, of course. But more bad, really.] You were still you. I'm still me.

You are not the same as when we met at the hive on Oruboro.

No, I suppose I'm not.

[He's someone worse.] You don't sound like you want to run for the hills, though.

[He didn't at home, either. Still, there they had been stuck together, more or less. Here, he has a choice.]

Of course not. Why would we? After what we went through.

Guess it was silly of me to think you'd say anything different, huh?

[Yeah, that's him conveniently avoiding actually answering.]

We could have found a way to leave you anytime we wished. We did not.

[Aden is silent for a long moment. He's still there, but quiet, just... Thinking.]

Suppose you could have, yes.

[Vector could have just not reached out to him now, too, after all.] I can't say I'll forget our previous meetings here. But you're still my friend, Vector.

And you are still our's. You are a friend to the hive, and more importantly, a friend to me.

I always will be.

[He might have changed, but him considering Vector his friend? There's something that won't ever change.]

Will you allow us to make it up to you? Perhaps over dinner at a nice restaurant?

... Sure.

[He wants to see him in person, anyway.]

Thank you.

[He sends Aden the name and address of the restaurant, and a time at which they can meet there.]

[Aden is there, quite a while before the time, just waiting.

He looks a little worse for wear in that he looks very tired, but has obviously made an effort to look okay. Even look nice.]
