That is what I was told.

[ uuuuuUUUGHHHHH ]

[ emerges slowly, though she remains fairly faceplanted ]

Guess I'm in for some awkward and uncomfortable chats in my future.

[othellovonryan]

Sorry?

[bluediligence]

What for?

[othellovonryan]

For making things awkward for you.

[bluediligence]

You didn't. I'd rather know than not, because at least then I can make informed decisions.

[othellovonryan]

I suppose that is a fair point.

[bluediligence]

Mm. Anyway.

... I really don't remember what I was talking about.

[othellovonryan]

The...recording?

Or just a reminder about Tryse situation?

[bluediligence]

Recording.

[ she hesitates, rubbing her head tiredly ]

... Might need to take fifteen minutes to - [ vague, tired flappy hand ]

Rest. So I can focus.

[othellovonryan]

Do you want to rest now or after?

[bluediligence]

Now. I keep ... you know old records, the way they'd skip? That's my brain right now.

Sorry. I came over to try to help.

[ AND INSTEAD: THIS ]

[othellovonryan]

Its all right. You're dealing with a lot.

[He will lower his goggles and tap at the air for a few moments and he will reply their conversation so far.]

[bluediligence]

[ a quietly doubtful noise ]

... Can you set me a 20 minute timer and then play the recording again? That should enough time.

[othellovonryan]

You are helping a lot.

Okay.

Do you want me to tap a four pattern?

[bluediligence]

[ She'd be helping more if she wasn't a broken mess of a human being!! ]

Hm...

Check in with me after five minutes? If I'm hazier than this, start tapping.

[othellovonryan]

[And they would need less help if they weren't also broken so!!!]

I can do that.

[bluediligence]

Thanks ...

[ she closes her eyes with a sigh, and tries to stop focusing on the staticky overheated skip-skip-skipping mess that is her brain right now.

breathes.

tenses and relaxes one muscle group at a time, every single one, from top to bottom and bottom to top.

lets herself feel donnie's weight on her back. his breathing. his scent. the familiar sense of comfort and safety, of pressure release. it was hard to melt into the brr before, but it's starting to get easier now, little by little ]

[Donnie watches the time at the edge of his goggles, mind idly pondering better ways to assemble the Egg daggers. The current design works, but it never hurts to have an easier way to shift between the two spells. Allow it to take long for the fittings to loosen and start exposing the spells, that sort of thing.]

It's been five minutes, Chocochi.

[bluediligence]

Mm?

[othellovonryan]

You with me?

[bluediligence]

Mmhm.

[ flexes her fingers, and then, carefully, her wings ]

Yeah. I'm here. Day 108, Dee-kun's room.

[othellovonryan]

Correct.

Do you want taps?

[bluediligence]

Think 'm okay without. Fifteen more minutes?

[othellovonryan]

Okay. [Kisses the back of her shoulder.] Take your time.
