[ thank god ]

Yael told me everything that happened. I think Hien was just being as vague as he always was.

Would you like for me to check in with you every day so you know I'm safe?

[ophidie]

I'm not one to talk, but I wonder if he regrets how evasive he's been, now that the time's come when it might have been for us to know some things.

[She knows it was to her detriment, to keep so many people pushed so far away for so long, but she'd been unable to help herself. It came automatically, like the baring of teeth or the writhing of an animal within a trap.]

As long as you do your best not to forget to check in, then yes.

[fluorite]

Probably. And if so, I bet he feels like he can't do anything about it now.

[ Because Fai knows that feeling so, so well. ]

Alright, alright~ Then consider it on my to-do list.

[ And he will be very diligent about doing so, too. ]

[ophidie]

It's easier to accept it's too late than to change...

[Well, she's just a pot calling the kettle black for that, and it doesn't give her any smugness or any sense of superiority.]

I'll have no choice but to let myself into your guild home if you don't.

[She's very serious.]

[fluorite]

Really? Even though I've set membership to private?

[ Honestly, he'd be impressed (and proud) if she broke in. ]

[ophidie]

I'll think of something. If you underestimate me, that'll be your problem.

[Although she doubts she actually has the tools to get past the guild's privacy settings, but she won't take that lying down.

shay from the future: maybe michel will help]

[fluorite]

That's the spirit~ Maybe I will underestimate you, just to see what you can do.

[ It's what he likes to hear! Miharu is quite tenacious, and seeing that come out in bits and pieces... it's like a bit of sunlight hitting the dark forest floor. ]

[ophidie]

[I threatened to burn his house down but never actually tagged him back.

To be fair, that's because Miharu doesn't have much to add, but she will be getting in her final word.]

Hehe.

I'll be keeping an eye out, so don't try and pull one over on me.

[Are they...happy...here? Is this life enough to make them all happy, in its own, strange, limited way?]

[fluorite]

[ HELP ]

I won't, I won't! I promise. :)
