[ it's alright, gwen obviously doesn't mind the physical contact either. and if it's not obvious enough at first, that'll probably change once she's holding his hand in both of hers and steps in close again. as long as he's looking at her, she'll look right back. she's probably more obvious in her need for reassurance that he's really here and they're really okay than she thinks she is, but for now she'll keep telling herself it's for his sake. she is feeling totally cool about all of this. going with the flow, that's what she's good at. sometimes. a lot of the time! but it's particularly hard when the flow is another potentially fucked up sex city with no way home.
she's totally got everything under control.
which is why she laughs when he asks her that, nodding right away ]
Yes, that's actually exactly how it works. I could've sworn I mentioned that before. [ she furrows up her brow, looking sideways in an exaggerated thinky expression ] Everywhere I go is either already a sex-obsessed dimension, or it turns into one once I get there. Like a sexy fever dream. Or a feverish sex dream. Either one. Both, sometimes. [ she opens her mouth like she wants to go on, but ends up laughing instead, taking a deep breath after ] I wish that was it. That I had some kind of control over it. I'm not sure what to think anymore.
[ she doesn't sound defeated so much as a little tired? mentally, anyway. nothing about this place is familiar, and she might have access to her full abilities and she doesn't have anyone telling her she needs to live by an insane city's insane set of rules, but that doesn't help how vulnerable she feels. she sighs again. ]
I can't figure out if I want to sit up here and pretend the stars look familiar, or if maybe we should start- looking for a place to crash for the night. They made it sound like we weren't allowed to just stay at the hospital. [ a beat, like she actually might make some kind of choice, but haaahaha when does gwen ever do that ] I think you should decide our next course of action, General.
