Who: Rean, Crow, and Randy
When: day 28
Where: the garden

[Rean's been passed out since princess maker, so a good 40 hours at least. When he wakes up... well he's immortal but here's never been in a position where there's no ambient mana he can use to even function basically. He feels fuzzy and almost like he's sick for over an hour, and he runs into more than one wall and that's all so absolutely unreal to him he finally texts Randy and Crow a simple word Garden. It takes him three tries to spell it right before hitting send.

And he'll be there next to a chalk circle full of symbols.]

It'll get stronger with time. Eventually we'll be able to communicate telepathically.

[Not that Rean can't do that with Crow now alway but the reverse will be true. And that's just some of what they'll share.]

You shouldn't notice tiredness or anything after this either, though I'll be connected to your mana.

It makes sense that it'd be exhausting to start with, though. You had to recover a lot.... you really were pretty bad off, huh?

...A little.

[ Crow reaches over to ruffle Rean's hair. ]

You've got a gift for understatement.

[I'm a powerful cool immortal being!! Accepts his hair ruffles.]

I didn't want to worry anyone. I should be fine no matter what, after all.

[ "I'm a powerful ~~cool~~ immortal being." Fixed it for you! ]

Says the guy who could barely type. It's okay to complain a little, you know.

No one likes a cranky old man.

I know you're an old man, but with that cute baby face no one will ever buy it.

So I'm gathering.

You know you could get away with a lot if you wanted to, with a face like that?

.... What on earth would I want to get away with?

[ Crow chuckles at that. ]

If you can't think of anything, maybe it's for the best.

What would you try to get away with??

Scamming people, of course!

....

No.

Well, I don't have your face so that's a moot point.

Honestly... you're such a trouble maker.

I like to think it's part of my charm.

Maybe a little.

So you do think I'm charming!

[ Not that he didn't know it, but he likes hearing the confirmation. ]

Well, I do like you. Irrepressible as you are, you're still endearing.

I wouldn't choose to bind myself to you without liking you at least a little.

I'd hope not-- that would be pretty miserable, binding yourself to someone you don't even like.

Yeah. But I got to choose. And I'm glad of that. I took up both you and Randy for this. And I like you both.

I'm looking forward to deepening our bond.

Yeah, yeah. I like you too.

[ There is a thread of embarrassed fondness in that. ]

I'm glad.

[Just totally genuine and sincere and warm. He's happy Crow likes him! Just as he's happy he gets to be bound to people he feels a connection to and fondness for.]
