[ What!!! ]

If he has objections, I'm sure he'll voice them. Loudly.

It's the fact that he probably won't that's concerning.

[he hasn't really stopped thinking about that secondhand call, among other things.]

Everyone is tired, that's all. I think our switching over for a day set the uneventful low point for the week, somehow.

Well, yeah . . . it seemed like it was a good time for everyone besides us, anyway.

[they should talk about it but they’re not quite off the Rose emergency yet. shakes his head a little]

Are you going to go?

To find Angel Devil?

Yes.

Hell no.

If it went wrong-- if I got bit, I mean, and we don't have enough wolfsbane-- . . .

[ Juuuuust kind of . . . trails off . . .]

Good.

[there’s a brief hesitation, like he could explain that more, but he is so tired actually]

There’s at least a day’s leeway to finalize it, so. Well. We’ll see. I’ll try to think of any other ways to equalize the field we have.

Is Rose gonna wait that long?

Yes.

[SLIGHT RETCON DUE TO SIMULTANEOUS THREADS, but]

Thistle tomorrow; Angel Devil the day after, apparently.

Thistle--

Wait, what??

[resists the urge to fold his arms on the table, put his face down on them, and start laughing wildly in despair]

Did Lupin not tell you they were going to the ram demon's cave soon?

He told me about their plan, like, over a week ago?? It was TBD then. They're going tomorrow?

He said they were going soon, after they sent that mass message last night.

They negotiated with the bomb demon for a controllable trigger and a revival; they're going to take a statue and use themselves to hopefully kill the ram demon.

Perci and I are backup if they need more revival, but we don't need to leave the pasture for that.

[ .... ,,, ]

I--

No. Nevermind.

[okay

yeah

he does folds his arms and put his head down into them. just ends up doing the longest most tired sigh in the world instead of laughing, though]

[ Ha ha yeah.................

Pats his head ]

[his shoulders hunch a little in response, then relax again]

If we do call the inner feelings demon, maybe we should bargain with it at the end. Put everyone in the pasture to sleep for a week. One week of no trouble. Surely that's not too much to ask.

We might need the Coma Demon for that, specifically.

[ .............. maybe they could ask Teleute. She DOES crave oblivion for everyone-- ]

[MINUET NO

it does finally get a laugh out of him, kind of hoarse and sharp]

We haven't even had a chance to talk about what happened literally yesterday. Or the day before, or the day before.

I mean . . . do you want to?

[ Sounds vaguely surprised, like. Do we just . . . talk about things? With mouthwords? ]

I'm free until the next person calls me about something insane.

[god. right. sits up, rubbing the side of one eye briefly before he fully straightens again

"A gun's super fuckin' loud. But nothin's louder than the inside of yer own head, except when ya talk. Your voice can sometimes be louder."]

It might help?

[ God. This is so against every fiber of his being. But-- ]

. . . Alright.

[ Closes the notebook and pushes it aside ]

I'll make tea, then.

[blinks a little owlishly at his back when he gets up, like he didn't quite expect that to be taken seriously]

Thanks.

[ He's trying, here!!!

He returns with two cups of Sonata's calming tea. They might need it.

Drops back into his seat. ]

So . . .
