[despitethenora]

I don't think so...I think we all got something different.

[She tilts her head, then separates from him to head for the kitchen. Fine! She'll get the mug and pour!]

What do you mean...?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

We didn't all die the same way.

[Pouring, then closing the thermos back up.]

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

How did you die?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

[Infinite food, for infinite machines... Aloy shakes her head.]

A lot of different ways. Drowning. Machines.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Oh...

[ processing... ]

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

I'm going to take care of myself for a bit.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

[ snaps out of it-- ]

Eh?! So that's a huge improvement... I'm really glad to hear that.

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

That's a huge improvement?

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Yes??

When you got sick, you were so busy trying to help you didn't even take time to try to help yourself!

It makes me really happy that you're taking time to rest instead of going out again.

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

I came to sit and visit you in all that, didn't I?

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

But you were sick... Doesn't that prove my point...?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

Yeah, well. You're not going to get to play that one every time you want me to do something different.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

I just want you to look after yourself too. I care a lot about you, and I'd be sad if something happened to you because you didn't take time to rest.

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

I don't actually disregard myself. People do realize that, right?

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

How so?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

You know. We didn't sacrifice ourselves? We tried to win. Or I did, anyway.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Mmmngh... I'm glad. But, that's not what I mean either?

I'm really bad at explaining...

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

Makes both of us. I'm -

I have some quiet moments with people. Get a little flustered talking to - [Clears her throat.] - I take Beta to the theater. Played some games with Crow. And I'm not trying to sacrifice myself.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

[ a nod. and then he glances down, like he's trying to put the thought together... ]

It's just... When there isn't a game. In the aftermath. I guess... that's where I worry?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

Why then?

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

I dunno... I guess you seem kinda like you need a problem to solve most of the time, and that's a good time for it??

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

That describes her perfectly.

[ oh hey guys were you talking

Beta's slipping into the kitchen, hair still messy, fresh out of bed because her sleep schedule follows no logic ]

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

[Is this bullying???

Just makes a face and offers Beta the thermos o' chai tea.]

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Beta!!

[ Will also hug her-- while trying to appraise how she looks ]
