[axilium]

[there's no escape, steph. literally. steph can't escape unless her leg has been magically healed between then and now.

belph is not happy.]

What.

Are you doing?

Comments

[vigilantics]

I apologize for interrupting your lecture with my angst.

[axilium]

I suppose I can forgive you.

[vigilantics]

[ she goes quiet for a moment, but then suddenly sits up. ]

Oh! Your partner helped me with my stitches.

[axilium]

Did he, now? Did he sweep you off your feet while he was at it?

[vigilantics]

He carried me like a bride and hurried me to safety.

[ ... ]

He told me getting hurt wasn't very lit and then asked if anyone tended to my injuries.

[axilium]

[belph bursts out laughing.]

[vigilantics]

[ she narrows her eyes at him. ]

That was your doing, wasn't it?

[axilium]

He asked.

[vigilantics]

I thought I was hallucinating at first.

[ like... it's funny, but her heart was not prepared. ]

I'm glad the two of you are getting along?

[axilium]

[that is exactly why belph taught him.]

He's someone who's better to have as an ally than as an enemy.

[vigilantics]

Well, if you ever get stabbed in the future, he now knows how to do stitches?

[ is that comforting. ]
