Hey guys, just a heads up.

I'm heading back home for a day, since the medical needs have come to a decent trickle, I am in desperate need of a decent night's sleep.

If anyone needs me, comm me or leave a message... or say it now. Because I am going to pass the fuck out for the next day or so.


[Private to Drift/Wing]

Can I... talk to you guys? Do you have a minute? I mean separately. Privately.

All I can say is what I'd want, and I like thinks to be all out in the open.

I can't speak for what is best for you.

[winged_knight]

Thank you. I can certainly respect that.

[He's not certain he knows. Normally these things are clearer for him, but things are far more complicated than usual and sometimes his bond with Drift feels so fragile.]

And it's not right to expect you to. I'm sorry, I'm mostly just thinking out loud now.

S'alright, Wing. Just. Try not to worry...

[He makes for a deep sigh, and it's more the kind that sheds worry rather than feeds it.]

I won't. I--sorry that got a little out of control there. I do trust him. And in the grand scheme of things it's a small thing. I'm fine with most everything as long as we're open about it. And I won't worry over the small stuff.

[He smiles.] I don't want you to worry either.

If you're really okay with that, I guess.

[ She frets a bit. ]

Ah yeah. Anyways. I'll be... fine.

[winged_knight]

I am.

[He hears you fretting!]

Drift has a dedication to me that is wholly separate from this, and goes way beyond it in many ways. It'd be...insulting almost, to doubt it. I know that he would never knowingly hurt me.

[He says it with a rather profound but humble certainty, like someone given a gift that has a great responsibility attached.)

I know what 'fine' means Karrie. But I know things don't go from fine to good in the flicker of an optic so I let you rest.
