You're important. [The hand squeezes a little.] Okay? If you're not well, or you're down, it's okay to tell somebody. It's not a waste of time.

[cumulative]

...I will, then, but we still have to...

[there's still-- boothill.]

[scrapdraught]

[Brows raising.]

Yeah. But he's not here right now is he? It's just you and me. [She pauses.] And I care. I'm not the only one who would, either.

[cumulative]

Still, I... I'll be all right, really...

[he's not the worst off, here. people don't need to expend that effort on him.]

Though I may have been, um, a little worried, e-early on today.

[scrapdraught]

Yeah? [She leans a little, trying to catch his eye.] About which part? Boothill, or yourself?

[cumulative]

[here is the problem with being nice to teens and it's that they're going to tell you things.]

Wh-when you were talking about- what... sort of monster might have done it.

[scrapdraught]

...

[well shit.]

Mathis?

[Is he a dragon? Or a phoenix? Something else?]

[cumulative]

I- I think it's all right to tell you... um, mine is actually dragon...

[mathis looking at his hands in trial like "idk DID i do it?"]

[scrapdraught]

[Her mouth opens.

Then drifts shut.]

Okay. That's all right. I won't tell anyone. [But she must ask.] Did you find your partner?

[Was it Boothill?]

[cumulative]

N-no. I don't know if I'm going to look for them, but I don't know who the other one is.

[scrapdraught]

That's okay. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Maybe it's better to keep quiet, anyway.

[She thinks a moment. Well, she's already in the clear.]

I'm a Changeling, if that helps. Mutually assured destruction, I can't tattle on you and you can't tattle on me.

[cumulative]

Oh- you didn't have to tell me, too, b-but... thank you.

[for trusting him with it. he really would have just let her refuse to tell him and gone 'okay then'.]

[scrapdraught]

It's only fair.

[Camille smiles, taking his hand in hers and giving it a squeeze.]

Believe it or not, we might be in this together. Just maybe.
