There's a time and place for protecting others. But there's also a time and place for putting your faith in those who want to fight right alongside you too.

[ smiles a bit ]

I know, I know. I do that too.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

Good. Because there's an awful lot of heavy hitters here in several different ways.

[ a small smile ... which fades, after a moment ]

Doesn't always help even then. I thought we were going to die at the end.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

No, not always. [agrees] Luckily we could reach you all from our end.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

[ nods ]

Good thing. Any later and ...

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

We'd have more of a tragedy on our hands, yes.

[idk tho, nick of time rescues seem to be a thing here...]

[ true. he nods again, going very quiet. ]

I just - when I thought that was the end, I -

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

You...?

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

[ flushes, faintly. and shakes his head. ]

I just really wanted to see the castle again, one more time.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

... The castle? [faintly surprised]

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

Well, in the sense that I just wanted to come "home" again.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

True. Though I suppose I've gone and grown more cynical in my time here.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

... Does that make a difference in wanting to come back safely?

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

No, not that. I think we'll always want to return home safely. [wry] I was just thinking about final thoughts in general.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

[ s-shrugs ]

What would yours be?

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

[erm]

"Ah, reviving's not going to be fun at all. I hope I've got enough tea to make up for this."

[ e...edmund

that surprises a laugh out of Steve, which he valiantly tries to cover up ]

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

[i saw that!!! points!!]

I saw that!

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

S-sorry! I just - well, tea?

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

[huffs!!! but pours him more tea]

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

[ shakes his head ]

I was definitely not thinking about tea.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

It's soothing. I mean obviously it isn't a fix-all, but it goes a good way to at least cooling my head.

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[senior_citizen]

Something to focus on other than impending doom?

Re: Day 328, Sunrise

[justaking]

Something to focus on other than wanting to overthrow beings that sometimes have as little control as we do over things. Being bound by a story makes for all sorts of questions about motive and how much of it is true or not.
