004. With no alarms, and no surprises

[drydrown]

For those of you who were wondering what happens if those insipid little stones we were given break: I still wouldn't necessarily recommend it until we're certain that it's absolutely nothing, but...



...Well, I certainly don't feel any different, either.

I'll hold you to it, then.

I do have some information regarding those things we spoke about last, so do let me know whenever you have the time for discussing.

[scythegun]

Of course! I'm hoping we aren't out here for too much longer; I really do miss the city.

[drydrown]

Believe me, I don't envy you in the least.

[Outdoors. Ew.]

[scythegun]

You shouldn't. I've been having a good enough time, but it's certainly not worth being away from the city!

[drydrown]

What are you doing out there, anyway? Besides fighting some sort of ice monster.

[scythegun]

Recently we hunted down some wolves that were terrorizing a town; it turns out the wolves are actually friendly and possibly magical, so after communicating with them we decided to help them out instead of kill them!

There was also an avalanche and I'm a bit surprised we aren't dead, but I'm not complaining!

[drydrown]

Honestly, I'm likewise surprised that you aren't dead. But at least you sound like you're having a decent enough time.

Looking forward to an actual bed eventually, however, I'm assuming?

[scythegun]

Oh, absolutely. The lodge we're in is nice enough, but I miss my own bed...

[drydrown]

Perhaps your assignment will be over with soon. For the sake of your spine, if nothing else.

[scythegun]

That's what I'm hoping for! I'm a bit concerned I'll get home and decide to never leave again!

[drydrown]

I haven't even properly spoken to you long, and we both know that's blatantly untrue. ♡

[scythegun]

There's no need to call me out so harshly, you know!

[drydrown]

It wasn't even harsh. But then, maybe I was wrong about you - I just didn't take you to be the sensitive sort.

[scythegun]

Oh come now, surely you didn't think I was entirely cold-hearted?

[drydrown]

Do you want me to give my opinion of you right here? In front of God and everyone, really?

[scythegun]

Fair enough! I suppose that can wait until I'm back in the city as well!

[drydrown]

[wait but no]

...Fair enough, really.

[scythegun]

I'll get in touch with you when I'm back, then!

[deal with it, cumore]

[drydrown]

[wait but no]

I'll be looking forward to it. I suppose.
