If you get these, just tell me where you are.


please.

3/25

[originallutece]

In a hospital, at the moment, over in Olympia. A bit worse for the wear, but alive.

[unweave]

What did they do to you?

[ That's the first thing her fingers send over. It's rude. It's blunt. It's wrong. But, she makes mistakes with Rosalind all the time — one more shouldn't hurt (it will).

She wants to undo the message.

But. She can't. So she selfishly moves on. ]

Who did this? ...I'll make them pay.

[originallutece]

[A pause.]

I didn't lose anything. Burns and bruises and cuts, nothing I shan't recover from. Sleep deprivation and psychological manipulation.

And while I'll happily take you up on that offer . . . I at least got my own revenge in a small way.

[unweave]

Good. You deserve that much.

Are you staying in Olympia? I'd fight you to come to Wyver, but.

It's not that much safer.

[originallutece]

Frankly, Aranea, I don't know if I could make the journey.

But I'll meet you on the station tomorrow, if you'd like. I can most certainly manage that.

[unweave]

Then stay there. I'll send some people to keep watch for a while. Nothing too suffocating, just patrol the area until we can meet up.

But, don't force yourself on my account.

[originallutece]

[There's a little pause.]

I could say the same to you, you know. Surely that patrol will cost you a fair bit.

[unweave]

Worth the piece of mind, don't you think? Not going to think you need it, but it's a nice option to have.

[originallutece]

My peace of mind or yours?

[There's a pause, and then:]

I'm being ungrateful. It's a kind action, and I thank you for it. It will make me feel safer, and though you don't have to do it, I'm grateful you will.

I'm not used to that kind of kindness, I suppose.

[unweave]

I'm not expecting for you to fall with trembling knees in appreciation. It's something that's right. You'd do it for me, wouldn't you?

I wouldn't get too comfy, I have a 'lil bitchy side.

[originallutece]

[She likely would, she thinks with a start. If it came to that, she would put out the time and expense and effort to keep Aranea safe, never mind settling her peace of mind.]

Yes.

[It's a quick text, and she soon adds:]

In any case: I assure you, your threat of teeth is hardly worrying. Though I don't know if I'd describe it as "bitchy".
