That's going to be... difficult to do.

[how is anyone supposed to get less stressed when they're all more and more stressed out by the DAY.]

Um, both easing up and not worrying about you.

[ablazement]

[a little huff. she drags in another breath. and then:]

I know. [...] But I've got to try.

How are you doing, daisychain?

[cumulative]

... afraid, I think.

[three deaths again, probably something they missed last week, and tomorrow will be hard. tonight is already hard, and he can't help being scared.

he takes one of her hands, though. maybe it'll at least help her; he can try, too.]

[ablazement]

[she will link their fingers. sorry she is feverishly hot, it's probably gross.]

I don't blame you. [sigh.] Hard enough with two bodies. Three is going to be insane.

[she really hates referring to her friends as bodies. it shows in her expression.]

[cumulative]

[he looks a little more concerned, feeling that, but he refuses to let go.]

It was still three deaths, the last time... maybe if we have fewer places to look, then it's not going to be so much harder.

[boy he HOPES.]

How long has this been happening to you...?

[she really doesn't deserve this on top of everything.]

[ablazement]

Hope so.

[a beat.]

What, the engine acting up? [


looks vaguely guilty]

[cumulative]

Yes- if it's starting to happen more often, then there has to be something that can be done for it...

[squeezing her hand a little. nooo no guilt let him be concerned ok. especially now that he... has an idea what it might feel like.]

[ablazement]

There isn't, really.

[she shifts, trying to stretch out to ease some of the heat.]

Just have to ride it out. [...] Gale actually did joke about putting me in the cold boxes, at the gas station.

[cumulative]

Are you going to try it...?

[maybe that'll do something, fingers crossed.]

I wish I'd been able to keep the ice magic. Maybe that... could have helped.

[ablazement]

Might, yeah, if it doesn't quit.

[...] That what you had in there? At the House.

[cumulative]

...it is, yes. I found a staff that let me use it.

I was... able to help more than I'd normally be able to.

[ablazement]

Proud of you. [she squeezes his hand.]

You didn't give up on Hope, either.

[cumulative]

...I didn't.

[rondo had said he was proud.]

We... we were split on our decision, but I couldn't...

I felt as if I would keep thinking about it, if I did. I'd have regretted it.

[ablazement]

Yeah.

[she reaches over to smooth his hair back.]

You're a good person, Mathis. Maybe it's stupid, but I would've made that decision there, too.
