Here I am, and I'm hoping you can understand.

It was something that got easier, telling people who she was. After Unca Scrooge and Louie, she'd been dead set on telling her family back home before she told anyone else. Lena and Violet had been filled in shortly after that, in part so Lexi could have Lena help her pick out some new clothes. She still loved her old hoodie, but it was definitely boxy and overall boyish, so she preferred just wearing it around the house these days. For that day's meet-up with Gobo, she'd opted for a long button-up shirt - green, of course - along with some gold-colored bangles that had been a gift from her mother after she'd told her. While she wasn't sure it would be a clearly feminine look to Gobo, she felt nice wearing it. That was all she was going for, more or less. Gobo didn't know yet, because it had only been a couple days, and they both kept busy at times. Well, Gobo kept busy, with exploring and map-making... Lexi, on principle, tried not to be busy ever.

Her bangles jingled against each other on her wrist as she headed down the Fraggle Hole - she'd gotten pretty familiar with the spot near her home, over the years. And Gobo was making most of the trek, not her, so she didn't have to worry beyond that, really. As she made her way through that first stretch of underground tunnel, she found herself humming. It was just something about being down there, and she was sure that was why the humming eventually grew into soft singing.

"And I know
I'll find my way -
I'm closer every day
To someone I can be,
No, it's not easy,
But you can figure it out with me.

He knew she was there, if only because he'd heard her song bump up against his and mix together with it. So he glanced up with a familiar, warm smile, sitting up some on actually seeing her.

"Hey there, it's good to see ya!"
gobetween: (Hey I have an idea)

He did notice, which got a curious glance from him that she may notice herself. Asking is put off for the moment though, in favor of answering her first. "It goes about the same as it ever did, I think! Exploring Outer Space is always a new source of excitement."

Gobo looked down the tunnel when she did, purely just because she did, then turned back and nodded.

"Yeah, we're all alone. What's up?"
gobetween: (Curiosity)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
He watched her curiously, then nodded and moved over, while sliding his guitar around to rest against his back.

Gobo looked at her for a long moment, then laughed gently and leaned toward her, head tilted some.

"Man, you really are an honorary Fraggle, aren't you?" Another- kind -chuckle and he smiled. "Lexi it is!"
gobetween: (Neutral stance)

"Once we get old enough, we decide which we want to be called. Other than that it doesn't really matter, and it doesn't usually come up either. So, this isn't all that unusual for me."

He glanced at her, realizing something. "You seemed nervous about it, though. Is it different for Silly Creatures?"
gobetween: (Wish You Were Here!)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
The tacklehug surprised him, and he hit the floor with a sharp "Oof." Once he was released he sat up- spent a second checking the guitar (it's fine) -and then looked over at Lexi.

"Really?" Man, Silly Creatures get weirder, don't they? After a moment though, he smiled. "Well, I'm glad you're so happy right now!"

That was always a nice thing to see in such a good friend, no matter the cause- though Identity was always one of the best ones.
gobetween: (That about sums it up.)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded a bit at first, then looked up with a short laugh. "What's that supposed to mean?"

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He gave her a mock glare, snorting some. "I know plenty of things! How can I help it if you Silly Creatures are so weird, eh?"

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, that're made from radishes. Can I help it if Doozer sticks are delicious?"
gobetween: (Laughing)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
He stammered a moment, then settled for shoving her back over, as little a "fall" as that would even be. Almost immediately after, he started laughing, unable to keep it from bubbling up any longer.
gobetween: (Little smile)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"I didn't tell you to keep laying on the ground." His giggles ebbed off naturally, though still broke through a bit here and there.

"People really say that?"
gobetween: (Simple smile)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wow, that- that's really nice of them." He laughed gently. "I don't know what to say. I hadn't really noticed anything special-" He paused and waved a hand. "Not that our friendship isn't special!" He snorted.

"What I meant was, you seem just like anyone else I've ever hung out with, especially now. It's... Actually kinda like being with another Fraggle when we hang out."
gobetween: (Supportive friend)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"I never get a big head about anything!" Another put-upon scoff. But after, there was a gentle smile. Though she hadn't said anything, he seemed to get it all anyway, and slung an arm around her shoulders to pull her into a hug.
gobetween: (Well look at it this way)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
He kept an arm- and after a moment, his tail -around her, and snickered some.

"Name one."
gobetween: (Kind smile)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That got a nudge which, in such close proximity, had him using his entire body to shove against her.

"First, I said one. Secondly..." He tightened his arm around her shoulders and leaned his head closer, until they were touching. "Look at all the fun we've had together! And you remember it all. That says pretty much everything it needs to, doesn't it."
gobetween: (Leadership)

[personal profile] gobetween 2019-10-29 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
A last little squeeze before he pulled away, giving her a bright smile before he moved, rocking up to his feet.

"Hey, why don't we take a walk, see where we end up?"

His smile widened some, as he offered a hand down to help her up.
