How much longer do you have to spend in another world before the world you were born in is no longer 'your world'?

I would say that happens when you decide you would rather be a resident of one over the other. It's more a matter of choice than timeframe.

[happydreamed]

That is a perspective that I hadn't considered. Though, in my case, 'tis impossible for me to return to my original world even if I wished to and even if this place loosed its hold on me.

[houndofmanchester]

Even so, that will be your world for as long as you consider it yours. That said, is there anything stopping you from having more than one world you consider your own?

[ oh, love ]

I'm not sure it's a matter of time. It can be, but I like to think your home world is wherever you decide your home is.

My home is with you. Wherever you are. So "my world" is here, for now. Where I originated has nothing to do with it anymore.

[ And their next home will be Teyvat. (With trips to another dimension now and then, she may have overcommitted herself but she's determined to make it work. The perils of loving so many people.) ]

[happydreamed]

I suppose not? I hadn't thought of that either. When people say 'their world' I've only heard it referring to where they came from.

[happydreamed]

Ah, you're wiser about these things than I am, as usual. My home is most certainly by your side. In the house that I come back to to see your face each day.

[sangreine]

I don't know about wise. Overemotional sounds more like it. Stubbornly determined to make you happy by any means necessary and all that. But if it makes you feel any better, I'll certainly take it.

[ Even if "the house that I come back to to see your face each day" will be not the case anymore very soon, she'll be in a glowing chrysalis or so we all think. We're not talking about that right now. ]

I dunno. I think maybe it's just like moving countries, though, right? If you feel like someplace is your home now, then it is!

[happydreamed]

You are undoubtedly the best in all the worlds at making me happy, my dear. And your advice is often better than you give yourself credit for.

[He'll see the chrysalis at least......]

That's like asking how long you before you consider someplace home, isn't it?

[happydreamed]

Usually one moves countries intentionally, I believe? Which altogether complicates things.

[happydreamed]

I suppose it is. But all of my moves have been to other worlds like this, never within the same world by intention.

Until everything you remember about your old world is nothing more than a dream---

Or a nightmare.

[sangreine]

[ You can hear her heartbeat from outside, it's comforting! ]

We all have our little talents. I suppose the advice part comes from being old. Again, I'll take it.

[happydreamed]

In my case, that world was a dream from the very beginning.

[happydreamed]

You also know me better than anyone else does, so that may be part of it.

[sangreine]

Perhaps. I do make a point to exploit every advantage I can get.
I see no benefit in fair play if it gets me something wonderful.

[ It's you, you're the something wonderful. ]

[happydreamed]

[sounds fake but okay]

Woe is me, my beautiful wife knows me well enough to help me with my problems and to tease me mercilessly.

[sangreine]

Truly, it's a difficult lot you've drawn.

Although whether my teasing does in the pro or the con column depends on the occasion.

[happydreamed]

Surely a pro on all occasions? Even if I fluster, 'tis not as though I hate it.

[sangreine]

That's a plus, because I'm afraid you're stuck with it.

I'm definitely taking this as permission to do more of it, by the way.

[happydreamed]

Permission granted. I shall take it as an opportunity to work on my resilience.

[sangreine]

[ hee~ ]

Your tolerance will be out of this world in no time. Might I inquire as to your availability for lessons this evening? There's a restaurant I'm determined to try every dish at. [ And she's on! a! clock! ]

[roundandaround]

Not always! I mean, what if you're a kid and your parents move?

[happydreamed]

I just so happen to be free, as a matter of fact. I would be delighted to join you for food and conversation.
