That's right. But I'm glad to hear you're okay. We were worried about you, back there.

Thanks for coming to help. :)

[sicklysweet]

really? there was nothing to be worried about. something as stupid as a door isn't going to be enough to kill me, so he really should have tried harder.

[murrmoire]

Even if it wasn't enough to kill you, it still looked really painful to endure.

I think he should have tried less hard and given up right away.

[sicklysweet]

the first time was bad, but after that it was hardly a bother. i've seen worse.

are you still mad at him?

[murrmoire]

No, not at him. I'm mad at Cubia.

Are you?

[sicklysweet]

no, i can't say i'm mad at either of them.

i don't see any reason why i should be, either. what's done is done

[murrmoire]

[ ??? Therapy dog does not understand. ]

Why did you fight Gorre, then?

[sicklysweet]

because he was a threat?

just because something is a threat to my safety doesn't mean i hate it. it's not like a program like gorre or lily even has the ability for it's attacks against me to be personal, so hating it or being angry is just a waste of my time and energy. do they know any better? doubtful, as they're just code at the end of the day, so why should i let them live rent free in my head when i have more pressing issues to deal with?

[ Owen isn't bothered? He doesn't hate it? He's fine with this? ]

[murrmoire]

[ Bigger problems...oh. Oh...!!!

He gets it! ]

done

[murrmoire]

Bigger problems like not knowing if your dogs are okay?

[sicklysweet]

obviously. not to mention my own life.

i don't care what lily says or does so long as me and mine can survive to the next day. that's what matters more than any feelings i might have.

[murrmoire]

I see.

In that case, I hope you survive to the next day, Owen, and the day after that, and the day after that one, too. Your dogs, too, of course. And those you hold dear.

[This is… so much. Owen isn’t even sure what to say to it for a long moment, because this sort of genuine sincerity…]

well… thank you. i’ll do my best, so long as you do, too.

[murrmoire]

I will. I won't fall here, and neither should you.

We can make it out. I believe in us.

[sicklysweet]

don’t worry. my story won’t end here, trust me.

everything will work out better than we think it will.

[murrmoire]

I'm sure of it. :)

Thank you, Owen.
