[ ....

he reaches out to very briefly hold her hand. it's really short - the touch is super fleeting, and it's cold, but it's a touch, anyway. ]

... Do you... [ mmrgh. ] ... I'm not worried about you being helpful. [ just worried about you! ]

[killies]

[ oh... she tries to give a little squeeze back but it doesn't really work. ]

But it's something we need to think about.

If our numbers here need to drop down under six—whatever needs doing on this side has less and less people working on it by default. It's not that I don't trust the people still alive, but there are less of us and the number will only keep going down.

I imagine with so many on your side, whatever work you need to do already has enough eyes, minds, and hands on it.

[flameguard]

...It doesn't surprise me that you're thinking like this.

[ there's a smile - it's a little sad, though. ] But, I - [ and then he

blips out of existence again! and returns, then frowns. ]

... guess I can't really talk about it...

[killies]

Annoying, but not surprising.

It's fine. I guess this is all just more of a social call than a meeting. I'm still glad to see all of you, even if we can't learn much from it.

[flameguard]

[ i love you ashlyn ]

Hehe. I'm glad to see you, too. [ cute. he looks very fond. ] I think the whole reason this worked was because you all needed a pick me up, so I agree.

Besides! We can still write you letters. Did you get my last one?

[killies]

Oh, I did. Sorry, I didn't write back because I figured I'd be dead.

[ just saying that bluntly. anyway. ]

[flameguard]

[ ashlyn

he reaches out to put his hand on her forehead which is completely ineffective for a variety of reasons ]

... Are you okay....? [ ma'am your CONFESSING ]

[killies]

I'm fine.

[flameguard]

Are you sure? You're telling me all these things because you want to tell me these things? Are you totally sure?

[ WORRY ]

Because, don't get me wrong, I want to hear them! I'm happy to hear all of your worries, and concerns, no matter what they're about.

[killies]

[ thinking about this


and frowning because hey yeah she really doesn't usually say that much to people huh. this is weird huh. hey. hey. ]

[flameguard]

[ YEAH!!! SEE!!!!!!!!! I RECOGNIZED YOUR CRY FOR HELP (TEN TAGS LATE) ]

Oh no.

[killies]

[ WHO DID THIS TO ME ]

Dude...

[flameguard]

...Maybe someone really wants you to tell your friends that you missed them....?

[killies]

That's annoying.

If they knew to curse me like this it means they could already tell how I felt. Why make me put it into words?

[flameguard]

...I mean, sometimes it is really nice to hear it.

[ says rondo who says this shit all the time ]

[killies]

Why? What difference does it make? If you already know, you already know.

[flameguard]

...Well... at least for us - we haven't gotten to talk to you face to face in a long time.

[ c: ]

[killies]

It hasn't even been that long.

[flameguard]

It feels like it......

[killies]

... Yeah. It does.

[flameguard]

And we can't even really reach out for you guys, either, like this.

[ he looks at his own hands and wiggles his semi-transparent fingers. 75% opacity. ] So... maybe the words are comforting.

[killies]

It does feel a little bit good to say things without second guessing whether or not I want to say them for too long.

[ and then just not saying anything instead.

although she does look less pleased at this admission. ]

[flameguard]

And... it's nice to hear that people are happy to hear it when you say those things? Right?

[ right? right? ]

[killies]

I don't like your attitude about this.

[ she is compelled to admit. ]

[flameguard]

[ hELP HEHKRJH

he laughs - a like, startled noise, and he nods. ]

Okay, okay, sorry, sorry, I'll stop. [ happy... ]
