[help

no the beach is fine, she likes it here. she's just sort of like... exhausted, more than anything.]

It really could have. I'm glad she's alright.

[haematocritical]

She did remarkably well, considering she told me this week she's not used to only having one arm yet.

[ lmao. QUYNN. ]

[ablazement]

[GOD]

You learn quick when you're in the middle of deep shit like that. [...] Just losing people left and right now, aren't we.

[haematocritical]

Quite! Last week was positively restrained compared to three bodies, three killers. It's like someone gave them a bloody haste spell.

[ablazement]

Well, let's hope the haste wore out, yeah?

[and after a moment:]

You doing okay, fangs?

[haematocritical]

It usually does at the worst time -- for the user.

[ yahoo. ]

... Oh, within reason. I think I'm doing better than you are, my dear.

[ablazement]

Probably.

[she says, ruefully.]

I wasn't close to anybody this weekend so much, except for Karma, but... the consequences of all this are what fucks me up.

[haematocritical]

There's an endless list of them at this point.

[ablazement]

I know. [sigh.] And it'll get worse, but --

Kanda said to quit getting attached. I won't.

[haematocritical]

[ privately he thinks kanda is right but he also Knows Karlach. ]

Even knowing it’s only going to get worse?

[ablazement]

I'd rather have the memories than not.

[stubbornly.]

[haematocritical]

[ a sigh and a shoulder pat. ]

[ablazement]

I know that's not what it's like for you, but... I hope you're finding people here that you care about.

[haematocritical]

You are certainly more equipped to deal with people than I am. [ that’s not an answer. ]

[ablazement]

That's not an answer.

[yea]

[haematocritical]

[ pffffbbfbfbfbffbfffff. ]

I didn’t mind the dog.

[ablazement]

[there's a part of her that wants to go astarion, because please make friends with people also, but. she gets it. it's like scratch, a little.]

I'm sorry you lost him, then.

[haematocritical]

[ i, becks, would love that. unfortunately i am playing astarion. ]

I doubt I was the only person who didn’t mind the dog and would have preferred to have him around.

[ablazement]

[arranges playdates for him]

You can still be sad about it. It's not a limited resource.

[haematocritical]

[ please that would be so funny. karlach just watching proudly. ]

… [ mmrr. ]

[ablazement]

[moves a little closer and kisses him on the forehead.]

You can talk to me. You know you can. If things bother you.

[haematocritical]

[ fiiiiiinnnne. ]

Yes, yes. I’ll keep it in mind.
