don't run me over (with a horse)

Comments

[battling]

Yeah, but that's about us. This is about knowin' more than just who they brought.

[agleam]

[oh... after a moment:]

I hadn't really thought of that, and I really don't like it now that I have.

[battling]

Better to know how sketchy shit is now instead of later.

[agleam]

Yeah, somehow I feel like this is going to get way more sketchy the more we find out.

[battling]

Did ya think the school was questionable first day?

[agleam]

I mean, yes, since we were kidnapped and the dorm heads kept insisting that we were supposed to be there and also that we couldn't leave for reasons that didn't make sense to me.

[battling]

Yeah, it was weird, but I don't remember any statues of people we met hanging around.

Hey, how long was it between the end of the school year and showing up here for ya?

[agleam]

It's been about four months, give or take a few weeks. Why do you ask?

[battling]

Hope said 13 years, and it's been a year for me. Doesn't seem like there's any similarities there.

[agleam]

Yeah, from what I've heard so far, thirteen years is definitely the outlier. Although, I guess Dimitri... Went back somehow...? To be honest, I still don't really get what happened there.

[battling]

I have no idea what happened. He said he hadn't lost his eye. So maybe this one's the mini version?

...

Hey did ya manage to get married?

[agleam]

Yeah... It's weird. His personality seems kind of different, too?

[he goes still at that question for a long moment, uncharacteristically quiet, before:]

...No.

[battling]

[ Forget about Winter Eye patch for a minute. ]

You wanna talk about it or nah?

[agleam]

[after another moment, he shakes his head.]

No, not really. Not yet. But, um - thanks.

[battling]

[ He nods. ]

Whenever ya want. If ya want.

I'll be around.

[agleam]

...I really appreciate it.

[that's sincere, and after a second:]

Um, you too. If there's anything.

[battling]

I'll let ya know if somethin' comes up. Don't forget.

[agleam]

[he gives him a thumbs up.]

I won't!

[battling]

Heh.

Anyway, how's the new company been with ya?

[agleam]

Well... Most people here seem pretty nice so far, at least.

[battling]

Yeah? Got to talk to most of 'em?

[agleam]

I'm pretty sure! There are a few people I might have missed, but I'm guessing I'll have time to fix that, so.

How about you?

[battling]

Making my way through.

[agleam]

Yeah? What do you think so far, then?

[battling]

Interesting people so far. Some of them met someone from home, so that was weird.
