[he gives her a 'what can you do' sort of shrug.]
Depends on what matters to you.
[and for peter, it's family. always has been.]
Plus, it's good to have goals you can probably reach.

What, you don't like to hold yourself to ridiculously high expectations?

I think I'm having a heart attack.
[She even puts her hand over her heart.]

[he sticks out his tongue.]
I'll catch you if you fall over.
I'll catch you if you fall over.
[If she wasn't seeing someone, this is the point where she'd pretend to fall just to see if he really would catch her.
But she has some self control.]
Aren't you just the perfect gentleman?

[he would've, for the record.]
Nope. But I can be a passable one sometimes.

[She looks at him for a long moment, like something's just occured to her, and then she starts laughing, a proper, loud laugh that has her covering her mouth with a hand to try to muffle it.]
Sorry, sorry, I just imagined you all dressed up in a tux.
[And it was hilarious.]

[And it was hilarious.]
Aww, fuck no.
[he makes a face like the very idea is completely gross before subsiding to shaking his head and chuckling.]

[That just makes her laugh harder.
Which is nice, laughing makes her feel better.]
It'd be like trying to give a cat a bath, wouldn't it?

I've given a cat a bath before. Nobody's gotten me in a tux yet.
Careful, I might take that as a challenge.
[too late she's already decided it's a life goal]
[too late she's already decided it's a life goal]
Oh, come on. I think you'd look dashing.
[She reaches out to mime adjusting a bow tie on him, because she's a little shit.]

You are so full of shit.
[he swats at her hands halfheartedly]

So you can dish out compliments but you can't take 'em? I see how it is.
[that so isn't the point, steph]

[eyerolllll]
I am a handsome asshole regardless of what I'm wearing, girl wonder.

But you'd look even more handsome in a tux.
[She shakes her head.]
That's nice of you to say, and he would, but... I mean, either option isn't about changing things for me. Even if I told him, he still wouldn't remember or know me better than he does, so it's more about what's doing right for him. That's okay with me, though, so don't worry about it!

But it would change things, wouldn't it? It's pretty clear this is something that's weighing on you, and there's a risk in whatever you do, that you could lose the chance to have a friendship with him the second time around.
[She doesn't like bringing up that possibility, but it's not something that can be sugarcoated.]
So you're allowed to think about yourself, too.

Mm.
[The noise is thoughtful, and it's a moment before she speaks.]
I don't know. I mean, we were - more than friends, but not in the way that sounds. No matter what, we won't get what we had back. So for me, it's more important to do what's fair for him. That's what's going to make me happiest, too, knowing I didn't mess things up if he leaves.

[And that makes sense, even if she'd rather Ahiru be happy than some stranger she doesn't know, but that's kind of selfish and she knows it.]
I can get that. [She gives Ahiru's hands a gentle squeeze, then lets go.] If he's a good person, I hope he'd understand if you told him that he knew him. Do you think you'd feel better with the truth told, instead of feeling like you have to keep a secret from him?

Maybe try breaking him into the idea of it slowly. Have you told him that you've been to another world before this one?
