[dumbly takes the drink with both hands, and then he just continues to stare at it]

[ SHE KNOWS EXACTLY ONE THING ABOUT TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE AND THAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION ]

Drink it.

[selfpreservationist]

[right. drinking. he drinks it, and then realizes he's very thirsty actually, and drinks the whole thing

and gasps when he finishes.]

[maryhadalilgun]

[ OK, OK good.


goes and gets him a couple more ]

Here.

[selfpreservationist]

[takes another one and sips it more reasonably this time]

... thank you.

[maryhadalilgun]

Mm.

[ what else is there to say? literally nothing. ]

[selfpreservationist]

[THERE'S NOTHING]

...

How... long... was I out for?

[years passed in the span of like a minute for him]

[maryhadalilgun]

Not long. Maybe two minutes.

[selfpreservationist]

Oh.

[oh]

[maryhadalilgun]

It seems laughable to ask "are you alright?" So let's simply assume you are far from it.

[selfpreservationist]

I'm... no, I'm not alright. I'm not sure how I'll... ever be alright, again, after recalling that.

[maryhadalilgun]

Then you needn't be.

[selfpreservationist]

[blinks]

I needn't?

[maryhadalilgun]

Isn't that the obvious solution? Don't be OK. Just be.

[selfpreservationist]

... it's not like I have much else of a choice.
