The Twenty Second Trial

[hot_mess_express]

Who: You
When: Day 49, Morning
Where:

The entrance today is a huge, ornate stone archway. A gossamer veil glittering like starlight upon water hangs inside it, fluttering as if caught in a gentle breeze. It's impossible to say what might lie beyond; even if you walk around the other side — and it's perfectly possible to do so — you just see the same thing.

Hey, Eliza! How are you holding up?

Re: ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

Um...

[frowning, trying to reconcile what she's seeing with what she's hearing]

Badly, I think.

You need to head back to your place?

Re: ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

I shouldn’t— The others will need help.

Re: ENDGAME

It's okay to take care of yourself first sometimes. I can handle the others.

[ He reaches over to pat her head and ruffle her hair. ]

Yeah, I'm sure. Go on, take care of yourself.

[tracking his arm to his shoulder to his face. the touch is real, so that much else must also be real. crow being physically OK should be real, too. right? she only relaxes a little, but it's enough to convince her to go.]

Okay. Text me if anything changes? Or if you need anything.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He gives her a smile. ]

Of course, I promise. Now go.

[bowtiedbones]

...Thanks.
