👍👍👍 [Someone taught him emojis.]

We'll talk soon then.

[wildwarden]

I love you too what does that have to do with the current subject of whether or not you want me to come over!

[notsonewbie]

it's a distraction! because if i tell you i'm working you'll ignore me and come over anyway!

[wildwarden]

You're always working.

You and Red Son work too much I'm gonna call a meeting about it.

[notsonewbie]

You mean a meeting we'll both miss because we're too busy working?

[wildwarden]

I'd cry if you did and you'd both feel so bad you'd NEVER WORK AGAIN.

[notsonewbie]

I don't know if that's quite right but. Sure. ;)

[wildwarden]

Fine I won't come over at all.

Mean. :(

[notsonewbie]

[wildwarden]

[notsonewbie]

[wildwarden]

Hey.

Just checking in. Are you all right?

[notsonewbie]

[As much as Meryl hates it, she knows what this message is about. She almost doesn't want to answer it, and leaves it on read for several hours before she finally manages to drag herself back.]

I've been better.
What about you?

[laserhawk]

Around the same, I would say.

[notsonewbie]

I'm really sorry.
For your loss.
Is... that the right thing to say right now?
I really don't know?

[laserhawk]

I don't know.

[ a long pause. ]

I always felt I was going to lose him. One way or another.

[notsonewbie]

[Most people would probably try and help in this situation. Deal with the problem that Dolph seems to have with himself. Meryl isn't most people, and that's especially true right now. She can't play therapist when she's still trying to gather her own senses again.]

I...
Don't think I can't really help you with that right now. It's still really raw.

[laserhawk]

It's fine.

I just wanted to know you were — fine.

[ well. whatever counts for fine, but it felt important just to check in, at least. ]

[notsonewbie]

I will be.
Eventually.
What about you?

[laserhawk]

I'll get through.

[notsonewbie]

Right.
When we're both... feeling human again.
We should meet up. Get lunch. Something... normal.

[laserhawk]

. . . I'd like that.
