[afineknight]

Sorry. I needed time to think and I could not with so many calls coming in.

[ next comes the bag of rice which immediately gets put away. daffodil's rice. ]

[leonheartedly]

[he shakes his head a little]

It's fine. Tart sent most of the pasture after you.

[afineknight]

Now I know how Charon felt.

Except at least he sent most of the pasture after himself.

[leonheartedly]

[a weak huff]

. . . yeah, kind of guessed you probably weren't on board with that.

[afineknight]

. . .

I thought he wasn't awake enough to actually do anything yet.

[leonheartedly]

Did you think he wouldn't do something when he did wake up?

[afineknight]

It's usually about 50-50.

[leonheartedly]

. . . okay, but with something like this?

[afineknight]

Again, about 50-50.

[leonheartedly]

[he huffs again]

Well, I'm glad he did it.

[afineknight]

. . . I would have told you.

[leonheartedly]

I know.

[afineknight]

. . .

This item. It can also be used to shield and teleport a group to safety, but only once. Only once, Tyr.

[leonheartedly]

. . .

And that's what you think it should be used for.

[afineknight]

[ He steps over to the kitchen counter, bracing himself against it. ]

It— Charon and Minuet are already working on the situation, right? So why— why waste this thing on that?

[ on him. ]

[leonheartedly]

. . . I'm not saying the other use isn't important. Being able to protect a group and get them to safety - that'd be incredibly useful.

But it's just one use. If it were . . . something that could be used again, then I'd have a harder time deciding.

[softer]

But if it works for you . . . then that means the other people who have died in their worlds can have a second chance, too. The people Charon and Minuet are trying to help besides you.

[afineknight]

[ He doesn't respond.

But his shoulders start to quiver a bit. ]

[leonheartedly]

[ah . . .

He pushes off the door and comes closer, resting a hand on his shoulder and squeezing. If it's a bit shaky, well, no it isn't]

It wouldn't be a waste. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks that.

[afineknight]

[ quietly: ]

Why me?

[leonheartedly]

[okay, he doesn't care if they're in the kitchen. He slides his arm around Crois and hugs him closer]

Because you deserve it.

[afineknight]

There's so many others here, Tyr—

[leonheartedly]

It's Daffodil's gem.

Do you really think Tart would use it for someone else?

[afineknight]

[ He turns and just

plants his face against Tyr's shoulder. ]

[leonheartedly]

[he puts his other arm around him immediately, holding him tightly]

[afineknight]

[ THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.

fear, grief, concern, and ??? maybe a little bit of hope??

he's not moving any time soon. ]
