Mhm, I do. I had to say goodbye to one of them recently, but... I wish I could at least send them a message. Everyone was always a call or a text away until now.
Ah.... those are - modern equivalents of letters, I'm going to guess?
[he's ye olde but at least he's quick on the uptake]
... we'll have to return you to them as soon as possible then. Even if they can't quite tell given the way that they claim time has frozen... I'm sure they missed you too.
[it takes a moment - before the virtual reality room shifts then to a rather beautiful garden. the seats that they're sitting in turn into a gazebo. ancient fantasy korea architecture is fine. all around them there are cobble paths to a rather large compound, and he offers up a smile]
[Oh... She gasps when their surroundings change, taking everything in with wide eyes. Damn, Soo-won. She took you to the gross subway and you bring her here.]
My mother's health is a bit fragile - but the gazebo is her favorite spot. She would look on at all the flowers, and give me little warnings that I was talking too much even as a child.
[but he seems fond, happy anyway.]
We moved here for her health, away from the capitol... but even though it's away from the city, all I remember is a lot of laughter and learning in these walls.
I'm glad you think so! We tried to make it as comfortable for her as possible - so I would stay with her as a child, and my father would come too when he wasn't away on business.
The closest people in age to me were her physician's son and my father's aide.... so I apparently would chatter away at them no matter the hour or place.

Ah, that's good to hear.... Do you miss your friends dearly now that you're here?

[... She smiles at him.]
The same goes for you as well, Soo-won-san. We have to return you to the people you love as quickly as possible, too.
no subject
[he hums thoughtfully]
Shall I bring you somewhere then? If I may?
no subject
[As horrible as everything else has been, otherwise.]
Go ahead. I'd love to see something from your world.

Here. My mother's villa.
no subject
... It's beautiful.
no subject
It is.
Shall we take a walk? I haven't had a chance to visit her lately, but I believe everything should manifest as it did when I was a child.
no subject
Yes. I would like that, Soo-won-san.

She has wonderful taste. [Assuming, of course, that he hasn't lost her.] This place feels so peaceful. It's lovely.
