I have been here less than a week and done naught to cause you any concern, yet you and Emet-Selch both act as though I am constantly on the verge of breaking down. Can you blame me for being a little offended?

[temperedinpride]

Have I acted thus?

[rainshaveceased]

[...takes a breath]

I may be exaggerating. It just feels like... you worry excessively.

[temperedinpride]

I must ask; Would you consider any amount of worry acceptable?

[rainshaveceased]

[shit

you got him there]

Ah. Well.

[temperedinpride]

[He's got your number buddy]

That is what I thought.

[rainshaveceased]

...But it does not mean you do not worry excessively.

[temperedinpride]

And is there an issue with that?

[rainshaveceased]

To be honest, I have quite thoroughly lost track of what this argument is even about.

So no, I suppose there is no real issue.

[temperedinpride]

[He laughs, kind of amazed he can laugh and that Elidibus is just like, right here? Alive? Ish. Aliveish.]

I shall take that as permission to worry as I like then.

[rainshaveceased]

[smiles faintly because it is... really nice that they are together and there is laughter]

Do not think I will not worry about you as well.

[temperedinpride]

[It is so nice and he is going to hug him.]

I expect it. None of us can or should help having concern for each other.

[rainshaveceased]

...

[oh no he just remembered something]

While I am loath to give you any cause to worry further, there is something I promised Emet-Selch I would tell you.

[temperedinpride]

What is it?

[rainshaveceased]

The state of my memory.

[temperedinpride]

...Is it worse?

[rainshaveceased]

Prior to my death, I was given the memory crystals of the Convocation. So I do remember what was contained in those.

But otherwise...

[temperedinpride]

How far back do you recall otherwise?

[rainshaveceased]

...I have some recollections of the time after the Sundering, though many of them are less than clear.

[annnnnnnd that's about it]

[temperedinpride]

... Nothing before it?

[rainshaveceased]

Nothing.

[temperedinpride]

[He brushes Elidibus's hair back, but this is an old sorrow, a deep, unending ache in his heart.]

Emet-Selch wished you to speak to me of it. What prompted that?

[rainshaveceased]

...I could not bring myself to tell him. He asked me to confide in you instead.

[temperedinpride]

Thank you for telling me.

In truth it alarms me. But what do you feel?

[rainshaveceased]

...Of course I am not happy about it. Especially since I know it is disturbing to the rest of you.

But I remember my duty, and my friends. That should be enough, or at least that is what I thought.
