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.

[ 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 ]

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

[ HUG TIME as she tries very hard not to drop the thermos

her fever has finally begun to wane and she's not coughing her lungs up as much, so she looks pretty good! too bad about the trauma, though. ]

Welcome back! Are we teasing Aloy?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

You two, be fair.

[She's going to investigate her mug so they can't tease her. That will work.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Teasing?

I dunno, I think what I said applies to you, too, Beta.

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

...Me?

[ maybe she should have expected this, given Kaine recently yelled about it. ]

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

We have been doing this stuff together.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Yeah. Family tends to be like family, right?

So, I hope you're resting too. I brought some chai to help.

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

Aloy's right, but... I've been sleeping all day, I can't have done anything.

[ that's her story and she's sticking to it

sip sip sip ]

Oh - this is...not spicy, but it's spiced?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

Probably some reading breaks on the Focus, too.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

It's from home.

And if you both are taking time for yourself, that's really good.

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

[ she's still sleepy, so she's just going to use Kalim to lean on until he says stop

she's also leaning into whisper conspiratorially: ]

Based on the evidence, I think you tell if Aloy's been resting by the flowers in her hair.

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

[Oblivious,]

From the tea shop, though. Right? You aren't using up one of the demon's tasks to give us this.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Ohhh.... That makes sense.

[ he blinks, and then says proudly, ]

Nope! I used my burden to get the spices!!

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

There's a shop for tea?

[ this is what happens when you're a shut in ]
