CAVERN.

[atrueheroine]

[Another encounter with the Shimmer, another round of confusion, frustration and exhaustion. It's probably going to be a fairly unanimous opinion, but Page much preferred the circle of peaceful corpses over the tree of suffering.

She emerged from the river just in time to hear what the Shimmer had to say, and it leaves a bad taste in her mouth. But regardless of feelings, it's probably wise that they don't move away from this cavern for the time being; the fire, remnants of that horrible tree, is providing light and warmth. They couldn't really ask for much more, especially after spending the past week in darkness.

So Page will swim back to the fire, placing herself in front of it and unwinding her headpiece, letting her locs fall free around her face. She's soaked, miserable and cold. As awful as the source of the heat is, she needs to dry off. The last thing she wants is to fall ill.

Not that it would mean much - sounds like a problem for her body. Wherever that is.

You're free to join her, or do what you will; time to rest, before the new week begins.]

[scythegun]

Ah, I see. You did eventually manage to put a stop to it, ja?

[notjustawriter]

I did, yeah.

With Grace's help.

[scythegun]

She always does have your back, doesn't she?

[...]

Would you still have come here even if she hadn't been asked to join us?

[notjustawriter]

[He gives a little laugh.]

I think she would've insisted she come along regardless.

[scythegun]

I take it she would've been disappointed if you'd run off on such a wild adventure without her.

[notjustawriter]

"Disappointed" is puttin' it mildly.

She threatened to hurt the man who gave me the last job in the first place because he didn't want to tell her where I was.

[scythegun]

I can't say I'm really all that surprised, she certainly is feisty.

[notjustawriter]

She's saved my ass more than once as a result.

[scythegun]

That doesn't surprise me at all.

[...]

So when did the two of you start dating?

[oh my god....... well at least this is a nice distraction???]

[notjustawriter]

[Wh...]

Er, I think you've got the wrong idea.

[But he did turn beet red. Good job, Yeager!]

We're work partners, that's all.

[scythegun]

[raises an eyebrow...]

Really? That's it? I thought you two were interested in each other! Not that here's really the best place to confront such feelings, but still, what a surprise...

[notjustawriter]

[wow, he came out to have a good time and he's honestly feeling so attacked right now]

Nothin' like that, to be honest. Don't let Gracie hear you talking about us like that!

[scythegun]

[rip gabriel]

Very well, I'll be sure not to say anything of the sort around her! Though really, I am surprised... I'm usually not wrong about these sorts of things!
