One of those fog trips. [he can probably see she's got a huge burn scar across her chest where her heart used to be, and there's another jagged scar through her tail.]
[her metal heart, i meant, christ, her heart is still there. anyway.]
It's been a couple days. I was pretty scrambled when I came out. [a beat.] But I don't want to talk about me when it's you that's been by yourself for the past couple of days.
Astarion has been insufferable. [affectionate, but also.]
Ah-- as for me, I'm well enough. I can't say it's been-- Well. It's been a bit lonely. But simply trying to figure out the ending of this sordid tale, yes?
Yes, I don't know what you did to him, but he's been pining for you since he woke up. [she is kind of amused by this.] You two are good together. I'm glad something came out of all of it.
[she rocks back and forth on her heels.]
I can't talk about any of the details, it makes me vanish off somewhere. But you've all read the letters and things, and... I'm here. Tonight, at least. So I'll stick around with you. Not having you to talk to whenever I want the past week has been awful.
[ on the other hand, he seems a little surprised by this? but also like. definitely pleased, sorry. look it's nice to be pined for when you are also pining for your friends. ]
I don't know that I did anything in particular?
[ he knows what he did. ]
Alright then, no speaking of it. But if I may, I'm quite glad to see you're still intact despite it?
[she figured he might, honestly, because it's always nice to hear that people miss you dearly. if she could pinch his nose she would. instead, she just smiles at him.]
I feel better. [she says, honestly, tail swishing.] The fog trip scrambled my brain because of all the drugs, but - other than that, it's been really okay?
I missed all the people who have been gone. They're as fucking rambunctious as ever.
Threaten him with what exactly? A sternly written note? I already did that, and it had the effect intended, so I've no more threats to pass on. I merely think I should get to know him.
I suppose I haven't had time to truly observe them. The same goes for your heart, of course.
[ he was briefly unvampired, and then he was dead. it's all been a bit, uh, terrible. ]
That could work, provided that timeline exists. And perhaps a bit dark, considering we would be seeking to, erm, replace ourselves. Though who's to say how these things pan out, really. Perhaps that's what's happening every time we are resurrected?

... Aerith mentioned something happened?

I'm fine.

Are you certain? ... These trips can be terrible, I would never fault you for being upset.

Insufferable?

Yes? I suppose speaking of people who were gone, I should speak to your friend with the strange accent ...
no subject
My friend with the strange accent? [she has a guess she just thinks it's funny that he put it that way.]

You haven't got to threaten him or anything, he's been a perfect gentleman. When I want him to be.

[dryly. but:]
I'd like it if you did. I may have sort of... invited him to Faerun!
no subject
[ he knows why and his actual general assumption is that astarion is probably likely doing that more for funsies than anything. ]
Well, upon the assumption the rest of us making it back. [ ... ] Have you considered what may happen with the three of us?
no subject
as for the rest of it, she sighs.]
Astarion and I talked a bit about it, but it didn't really go anywhere. I don't want to go back to a place where neither of you know what happened.
no subject
[ lol. ]
I'm sorry to say I'm afraid I don't know the answer myself.
no subject
[happily... but:] The only thing I can think of is we just... find a timeline where we all died? Maybe? You think Withers would help us out?

well, he can see that her chest isn't glowing at least, even if she's transparent!]
That's a lot to think about. [... nyeh.] Well. Whatever we end up with doesn't matter as long as I haven't got to forget all of this.
