Good.

[very casually wraps an arm around Charon's waist and pulls him halfway into his lap for shameless cuddling]

Did Ananke say if they found anything?

[seems very startled that this has happened but permits it, like a tolerant cat]

Potentially Rose's priest lost in the mist, but they need to go back to confirm.

And some force in the sea that caused everyone to break into song.

[the lights in the room glow brighter as Lethe settles, content]

Singing isn't too bad. Compared to the other things we've run into here, that's nothing. But a priest, huh? I thought they were all dead.

[tucks an arm over his shoulders]

Oh, it's probably dead. If that didn't stop Naythan then it might not stop the others, though.

[quietly radiates happiness]

I'm trying to think of logistics, though. For Miss Coco, Daffodil had to solve some puzzles and riddles to get her out. And for Naythan we were conscripted into making him a new body. If Rose's priest is just a ghost, then won't they need to make a body? They might ask Ananke to go with again to hold onto the soul.

It's impossible to say until they can get a better look at the circumstances, I suspect.

Though it does bring up the question of if our priest's soul is reachable. We've never tried.

...Death might get pissed off at us, but we could try summoning our priest's soul just to check. Our next best option would be trading for that information. In which case Red or our resident lady demon would be the best bet.

Planning even in your sleep, are you?

[fond...]

I've been asleep for a whole day! I have to make up for lost time somehow. Just talking isn't going to tire me out.

You don't have to make up for anything. I told you to sleep until you're rested, did I not? The fact that you've slept at least a full day speaks to how badly you needed it.

I'm a little worried about what counts as "rested" now. Please wake me up if it goes on for too long. I'll get bored if I do nothing but sleep.

I will wake you if it begins to seem counterproductive, yes.

But you should be taking better care of yourself anyway.

I do take care of myself. I can't sleep well due to situations beyond my control. As soon as we can corner Blossom I'll fix it.

This experiment proved to be a perfectly good workaround. We just have to modify the command slightly.

Maybe. I don't like the idea of sleeping through an emergency either.

[STILL FOND]

You're worse than I am.

I would like to decline to comment at this juncture.

My stats are a little better than yours, though. You have to let me help where I can.

Don't I? I'm well aware I can't do everything alone.

[stubbornly]

Let me help even more. It'll put me at ease.

[leans into him a little]

You already do so much. What more would you add?

[exhales and leans back, mulling the question over]

I don't know. I could just start Awakening everyone in the pasture...the cooldown would make the process pretty slow, but making everyone more durable wouldn't be a bad idea. That sounds useful, doesn't it?

[lethe???]

Not that it's not potentially very useful, yes...but would your mana keep pace with such an endeavor?

Edited 2024-03-05 07:14 (UTC)

Yeah, that's not an issue. It doesn't take that much mana to Awaken someone. The issue is that it's permanent. Going back home as an Awakened person would be tricky for most people.

Because of their need for dungeon resources to keep life manageable, you mean?

There is that. But on a more basic level, it's hard being different from other people.
