I might.

[... There's a long, telling pause. She might need a drink, or three for this so the timing of his invitation couldn't be better.]

He came back, you know.

Gladio? Yeah, I saw him. When he didn't remember anything, I knew you probably already knew.

[He can't even imagine what that must be like for her. To have it all wiped out like it didn't matter. Except it did. Very much so.]

Whenever you want, Lightning. Or just to talk. Like we're doing now. I'll do my best and listen to you.

[She opens her mouth to say something aloud, rather than transmit it through her crystal, forgetting for a moment that that's what they're doing. It closes, and Lightning chooses not to say it. She shouldn't have to remind Auron that he doesn't remember her at all – he already knows.

Besides, this isn't about them. He needs to talk and work through things just as much as she does. The two of them can use someone to lean on, even if that someone also has no idea what they're doing, or will do going forward.]

Yeah. You'll be hearing from me soon. I'll hold you to that promise, and you can hold me to mine, too. First round's on me.
