[There's a long silence as he takes that in]
I...I wish I had something better to say than i'm sorry....
[But he feels an anger rising in his throat. How much more is life going to dump onto her shoulders? How fucking much more can she take?
No. That's not the right question. He knows she can take it. But for fucks sake she should't have to.]
But I really am, Jules. I'm so sorry.

But I really am, Jules. I'm so sorry.
[Life will drop so much more down on Julie's bird-boned shoulders over the next year or so, but for now, this is enough to contend with. The shrug is almost there in the silence before she speaks.
Shrug.]
It's fine. I mean... it's not, but, it is. I think he wanted it anyway.

Huh, really? Lemme see them.
[Yesss recommend clothes to her it's been so long.]
Do you think they're my size?

Do you think they're my size?
But...what about you?
[Whistler's concern is less with what her father would have wanted or what he was ok with than what she wants or how she's handling it.
In fact if he were honest whether or not her father wanted to go matters very little to him except in the small way that perhaps it cushions the blow for her. If it even does that.]

... I'm fine.
[God, she's not fine, but she has to be. Nothing about Julie has ever lent itself to falling apart very easily over anything at all.]
It's fine.

It's fine.
I think so.
( She holds up a pair of pale, embroidered jeans to the camera with a little bit of difficulty. Not the easiest thing in the world, but enough to give Julie a look at the details. )
You should try them on to be sure.

Ooh. They are pretty cute.
[She likes them a lot, in fact.]
Where are you? I'll come over.

Jules, usually when people keep repeating that 'they're fine' they...well....they aren't.
[She checks it, then nods.]
Got it. See you soon.
[It doesn't take her too long, relatively, to get there. If Serah's still in the same place when she gets there, she arrives a little out of breath and with a slight grin.]
Hey.

Hey.
( Give or take a few steps, as Serah found a nice little wall to rest against while waiting, straightening up with bright eyes and a warm smile. )
Hi. ( The jeans are slung over her forearm and Serah shakes them out for Julie's approval. ) So, what do you think?
( They look about the right size, to Serah's eye anyway. )

I don't want to talk about it, Irwin. [She snaps it out, then huffs out a slow sigh.]
Just... Not yet. I don't want to talk about it yet.
Just... Not yet. I don't want to talk about it yet.
I'll have to try them on.
[They look about the right size to her, too, but you can never be sure about these things. Julie, not terribly shy, doesn't waste any time in toeing her boots off and shucking off her current pair of jeans to try the ones Serah's holding instead.]
Oof, I think I've put on weight while I've been here. [She laughs, but they fit fairly comfortably once they're on.]
What do you think?

( Welp.
Serah's just gonna... uh, make sure no passers by get a glance. She's grown used to travelling with Noel, to camping out and not having a proper bed, but even then they prefer finding a private space to change when they need to.
It mustn't be like that everywhere, but instincts kick in anyway.
And then they're on and Serah brightens up, glad her choice fits and- )
They look amazing on you!
( Not that it's surprising. Julie's a pretty woman, and the jeans do a lot to highlight that. )

[When you live in as close quarters as Julie has for so long, you lose a lot of shame around other people.
That said, it may have been a different story entirely had Serah been a guy, but she isn't, so she gets to see the flash of Julie's tanned legs before she's pulling the other pair of jeans on.
Damn, what I wouldn't give for a full-length mirror right now.

Mhm! [She'll even strike a pose for it, laughing as soon as Serah indicates she's finished. Julie moves forwards to peer at the phone screen, a smile still lingering on her face.]
They do look good. You've really got an eye for this.

( Smiles all around then. They're leaving this world behind and moving on to something else, somewhere else. And maybe that place will hold the answers the people here need. Or maybe not, but at least they get to find cute clothes while preparing for whatever the next planet holds. )
You think?
( She just saw what she liked and thought it would look good on a friend. But now that it's sorted, maybe it's time to go home and put her shopping away. )

Mhm, they're really cute.
[And finding cute clothes in this place? Really hit and miss.]
You need help with anything?

[Have you ever had an elf kick in your front door with a bottle of wine in hand and absolutely no warning? You sure have now, Julie.]
[She has not, and the current "Null situation" being what it is, the noise is met with a loud yelp and Julie scrambling off her couch before she (predictably) goes to investigate the source of the noise.
And she finds, to her clear confusion, an elf holding a bottle of wine and looking very pleased with herself.]
Gonna throw out a guess, here... Lup?

[Lup is ridiculously accustomed to her entrances being met with yelps so this is nothing new.]
Got it in one, chickadee! You said we were friends, so why not make the whole thing official?
[She holds up the bottle and grins, giving it a little shake.] Already got one thing in common, let's drink and see how much further it goes.
