It was pretty bad. I think she's taking it hard.
It didn't match up with the other stuff I saw going on at the hotel.
But it was definitely the town dredging up stuff on her.

I'd appreciate it a whole lot. I know once you set your mind to something you won't give up.

[Stubborn is the word and she likes that about him.]

I'll be okay. Little bit of a headache from looking at the fluid too much, but I think a nap will help.
I
I kind of caught onto what was going on. We got into it.
It wasn't as bad as anything that happened that with Neo.
But I think she's taking it rough.

[droptheious]

Yeah, trust me. I'm not going to stop messaging her until she answers. I can stay awake MUCH longer than she can. I've got this.

..."Wasn't as bad as anything that happened with Neo" does not provide much comfort- because that means our measuring stick is actual death, Ruby. There's a lot between "I'll be okay" and dying horrifically.

[clickclickbloom]

I knew I could count on you. She's going to need it.

Okay. Okay. Good point. Bad example. I meant more like the times when she didn't actually manage to kill me. There were a lot of those in there.

I've got a nasty cut/burn. She got me pretty good with the weapon upgrades I got her. It'll heal but it's really tender at the moment.

Give me a few days and I'll be up and at it like normal.

[droptheious]

I'll do my best, I won't abandon her.

[Distanced though they are now, Varian still knows Ruby. He can't shake the feeling there's more than this. But he also knows it's not his place to press. He'll take what she gives him.]

Okay. Rest up. Let me know if you need anything- I have that awful painkilling tonic if nothing else.

[clickclickbloom]

I know you wont. If you could let it slip by that I don't plan on it either. That'd be great.

[She knew not telling him probably wasn't exactly the best move in the world. But she had her family to support her and up until now Emerald had become a part of that. She knew there were fractures in the help Emerald could get so she didn't want to take that away from her.

She'd probably have to apologize for this later but it felt like the best move she could make.]

I'll do just that.

Oh no. That stuff? Ugggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh. Okay. I'm probably going to take you up that on that. I'll either come pick it up later or I'll ask Oscar to, sound like a plan?

Thanks a bunch.

[droptheious]

Sure, I can do that.

[He'd understand, at least. Ruby has a billion people on her side to take care of her, Emerald does not. That's where he's most needed.]

That works. And yeah, sorry, it still tastes gross. I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to make it taste not like something scraped off the inside of a trashcan. Take it easy. I'll take care of Em.

[clickclickbloom]

Thanks again, you're the best.

[It puts her at ease knowing Emerald does have some people in her corner, but she has to make sure that they know to go out there.

Because she has a feeling Emerald might not be reaching out.]

Uuuuugh. It's okay. It's not your fault, it works and that's what counts.

I'll just be a big girl and drink a whole jug of chocolate milk to wash it down. Hopefully that'll do the trick.

[droptheious]

We both know I'm not, but I'll do what I can.

[Varian can guess Emerald will hole herself up and avoid everything. That was his first option when the town turned him into a monster again. He won't give her the choice to stay that way.]

That seems to help? Like drinking milk after you've had spicy food or something. I'll make sure there's some ready for Oscar to pick up for you.

[clickclickbloom]

Well you're a friend and she could use that right now.
That's all I can ask for.

That'd be great.

I'll catch you later.
