Hey. Waterbearer? Can you come see me?

I'll take my chances.

[hands you some water]

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

*gingerly accepts*
...Thank you?

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

Just...drink it. If you're thirsty.

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

Why are you so angry? I'm sorry for teasing you, if that's part of the reason.

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

I'm not angry, I'm just...worried. You guys all died. Even if you all came back...that's not okay.

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

Ahh... I understand your feelings, but there's no need for concern. We died, which was--unfortunate but apparently unavoidable...but we came back. Jace is speaking with the culprit to help ensure it doesn't happen again. You weren't harmed. That's what matters.

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

But the rest of you were! That matters too.

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

...You're right. I'm sorry for worrying you, if unintentionally. If it means anything, I'll try to avoid our deaths in the future.

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

[...I can't tell if you're making fun of me or not.]

Well...you better.

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

*not this time!*

Trust me, it wasn't an experience I'm particularly eager to repeat.

At least the next challenge we've been issued seems less physically threatening.

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

Huh? Oh, right. The writing game.

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

*nods* I can't say I really understand what it's all about, but if nothing else, it's a change of pace.

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

It looks pretty easy, at least. And safe.

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

A definite perk.

...Are you sure you're going to be alright with this? I hope you don't feel like I've brushed off your concerns.

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll...I was so worried when I found everyone gone and then it turned out that you'd all died and. ...I need to deal with that. I'm just glad you're all okay and not hurt anymore.

[a_sad_clown.insanejournal.com]

*gently pulls her into a hug*

We're fine. It will be fine.

[seemingofademon.insanejournal.com]

[leans into] Yeah. I know.
