[ Eda looks Very Awkward as she turns on the camera. She's grimacing, but Luz told her she needs to do this over video and not text. ]

Hey, kid. I... owe you an apology. For what I did. Well, I didn't do it. But I did.

This place is weird.

My point is: I'm-- sorry. [ Wow that word is hard to say. ] I don't think those things about you. Wasn't in my right mind. Really hate that lady, whoever that was.

[What happened had hurt a lot, what had been said. Varian can't lie and say that it hadn't. So when he answers, he looks a little weary. But Varian's also been in this town a long time. He knows how this place twists people. Makes them do and say things so very desperately out of their normal character.

He could never hold what this town did to Eda against her. ]

It's okay. This town has done this sort of thing to me in the past, too. It... happens. I understand.

And yeah, she was the worst. Super did not like her.

...Are you okay? I lost track of you...her after- well, after that.

[owllady]

I, yeah. I'm okay now. Got what was coming to me-- the other me.

[ She laughs weakly, shaking her head. He understands, which is good. He's a good kid, smart, understanding. All the stuff she never really was. ]

Woke up covered in dead flowers. No clue how.

Uh, you holding up?

[ Last time she talked to him, he was on the network after the whole portal debacle. ]

[droptheious]

I'm glad for that at least. I hope you weren't hurt yourself in the process.

...Huh. Maybe it has something to do with the eye-roses that have been cropping up everywhere. Fern had some growing on him too.

[He did not touch them. Don't touch flowers with eyes in them seems like a sensible decision.]

I'm... doing as good as I can, I guess. Still unhappy the portals didn't work.

[owllady]

...

[ Well, shit. Eda did eat one of those flowers, didn't she? She grimaces. ]

Probably right about those. Think that's what did it.

I'm fine. Woke up in the middle of the woods like nothin' happened.

[ Except that she remembers hurting her friends, and strangers, and being killed by Ruby and Ange. ]

Don't beat yourself up about it, kid. You gave it a shot, it didn't work. You'll try somethin' else.

[droptheious]

I would bet good money on it- that was not an offer for a bet, don't take it up - it falls into line with the weird stuff that happens here sometimes. Flora can have... interesting effects sometimes.

Oh that's... well, that's weird. Do you remember going to the woods?

[But Eda, Varian's a pro at beating himself up.]

We will. But it doesn't change the fact people died while we were trying to do it.

[owllady]

Eh... Think I was in a memory? Then we got out into the wood. Then I ate a flower.

[ She grimaces. Normally, eating flowers would be fine! ]

Not my best idea.

No, it doesn't. So what're you gonna do about it?

[droptheious]

...Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah, eating weird flowers would do that. Don't eat weird flowers here, Eda.

[Mother please.]

Apologise. Get up. Try again. We can't afford to let this beat us.

[owllady]

Yeah, yeah. I got that. Now.

[ She barks a laugh, but it peters out quickly ]

Good on you. Keep tryin'. 'Bout all we can do.

[droptheious]

Well! At least you know for next time, right? Then again, I kind of expected you to learn the 'don't touch weird Deerington stuff' when you messed with all the blood but apparently not.

[He's not sad enough not to sass her, it turns out.]

That's it. That is all we can do. Just keep going as much as we can. Don't let it beat us.

[owllady]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fool me once.

[ She waves a hand. ]

Learned my lesson now. You can teach this old witch new tricks, huh?

You'll do it, kiddo. You need anything, you tell me, alright?

[droptheious]

Miracles can happen, who knew?

[Aw, that does get a little smile out of him, though.]

I will. Thanks, Eda.

[owllady]

Sure thing, kid.

I'll see ya around.
