Crow suggested I take my time and figure out what I want.

It's kind of a new concept.

[crimeson]

I agree with Crow, there. But you've gotta make sure not to take too long, okay? I'm kinda worried about your current condition already.

[awakenerd]

Sorry for worrying you. I shouldn't be in danger. I'm not really... Mortal, per se. But I might nod off like that abruptly until my mana is stable, so it's definitely not a condition I should sustain.

[He actually doesn't know if he'll die or not he's just being optimistic. He's never been in a situation where there was absolutely no ambient mana to recharge from.]

[crimeson]

Everyone's in danger, here. No need to add to potential problems.

[awakenerd]

Yeah... I really am sorry for worrying you...

[crimeson]

[Randy sighs and ruffles Rean gently.]

All is forgiven. Just make sure you get taken care of, okay?

My offer stands.

[awakenerd]

Thanks. I'll let you know when I decide. Until then I promise I'll try to take it it easy.

[crimeson]

All right. Sounds like a plan.

[awakenerd]

Anyway, I wonder which of us should be worrying about the other actually, mister "I don't know what a contract involves but sign me up".

[crimeson]

I think it's fair to be more worried about you than about myself, given you're the one who just passed the fuck out.

[awakenerd]

[Pokes his forehead gently.]

Worry about yourself some!

[Rean. Please.]

[crimeson]

I'm perfectly capable of worrying about myself after makin' sure you're taken care of.

[awakenerd]

[He sighs, and looks at his hands. He's not going to say it's maybe more urgent than he thought, he still wants to take his time.]

You're a sweet guy.

[crimeson]

[TAKE YOUR TIME BUT DON'T FUCKIN DIE, REAN!!!!]

I try.

[pokes his forehead in return!]

[awakenerd]

[Hey don't turn it back on me]

Want to tell me a little about us? You said we were teachers.

[crimeson]

Sure. We taught at a branch campus for a prestigious Erebonian military school.

[awakenerd]

Yeah? And we were friends? Tell me about that.

[crimeson]

Umm...

[hm. considering.]

...Can I just say in advance it's kinda weird telling your friend how you became friends? It's not a situation I normally run into.

[awakenerd]

Ah... I guess so. Sorry.

[crimeson]

It's fine, just... new.

We probably should have been enemies, but it's impossible to hold a grudge against you.

[awakenerd]

...? Enemies? Why?

[He can't imagine making enemies with this person?]

[crimeson]

Your country annexed mine and you were pretty instrumental in that. But... you didn't want to be, and you were so sad about it, it was really hard to be upset with you once we actually met.

[awakenerd]

[Oh. Yikes.]

Maybe you're just a really nice guy...

[crimeson]

I think it can be both.

[awakenerd]

Hm. Well the really nice guy part is pretty much confirmed already.
