(optional) NOTES

[The sun doesn't so much as rise as flick on with the sudden, glaring brightness of noon. Whatever time keeping device you have on you says its about 8:14am when this happens.

The power's back, but the time on your timekeeping device never really make sense with the position of the sun as it moves across the sky.]

Uhoh.

[mindinthegittern]

[makes a face at him]

[abardacttofollow]

It kind of feels like that?

[mindinthegittern]

...I gathered. And—I can see why, obviously.

I just... worry about you.

[abardacttofollow]

I'm... all right? I mean, the thing is, I'm doing pretty well, I think.

[mindinthegittern]

...well, you are. I think so too.

[huffs, pushing his hair off his forehead]

[abardacttofollow]

Just because it hurts doesn't mean I'm not... doing all right.

[mindinthegittern]

...

I need to back off, don't I...

[abardacttofollow]

No, I just... I don't know what more I can do. I'm trying. I can't... hurry it.

[mindinthegittern]

I know! I know, I don't—I really do think you're doing amazingly. You don't have to do anything else.

That's sort of what I meant. Just... me fretting at you doesn't do either of us any good.

[abardacttofollow]

Well, I don't want you to go anywhere.

[mindinthegittern]

Even if I wanted to, which I don't, there isn't really anywhere to go.

[abardacttofollow]

You can ...pull away even if you don't physically leave.

[mindinthegittern]

...

[bumps his head against Stef's shoulder]

I'm not going anywhere.

[abardacttofollow]

You're not hurting me. If that's... what you were worried about.

[mindinthegittern]

I wasn't—but thanks.

...or, I don't generally worry that I am? I was a bit worried about it when I was in your Heart, obviously.
