[ Look, some of us had an okay time, and some of us had The Worst Fuckin Time. Tea and comfort is a-go. ]

Comments

np! notifs were acting up

[longredribbon]

I didn't really go anywhere.

[Apart from receiving some odd medical attention.

He accepts the mug with both hands, keeping warm.]

Thanks.

they were but STILL RUDE

[at_heart]

...My welcome is more metaphorical.

[ Talking about you being back in one piece. And he's settling down nearby. ]

—Didn't need healing before now, did you.

[ First time in a game like this, like he confirmed on the 'victory platform', and his player definitely didn't forget about. ]

[longredribbon]

[Fair enough.]

Never.

It's incredible what that unit can do.

[at_heart]

...Incredible.

[ Beat. ]

Yeah, that's one word for it.

[longredribbon]

Mm.

[Quiet. He takes a long, slow sip of his tea.]

I dunno if I would envy them, though.

[It's an entirely different story if it were back home.]

[at_heart]

[ Kind of a long silence, then— ]

You definitely shouldn't.

[ Pushes a hand through his bangs. ]

sIV healing isn't — easy, or clean. It's kind of... exactly as cursed as you'd expect healers in 'hell' to be.

[longredribbon]

They're efficient. That's what matters.

[Not much of what Wei Wuxian is used to could be considered 'easy or clean.']

It's probably just a way of their lives here. Although I wouldn't blame them if they're affected by their experiences, regardless. That sort of thing gets to you.

[at_heart]

[ ...Frowning, he looks away. He doesn't wanna argue, really doesn't — he has no idea what WWX is comparing this to, what he's been through. But at the same time... ]

'Efficient' isn't the word I'd use.

[ Frankly, after Izzy's whirlwind tour of sIV Life, even calling it healing feels — a little strange. ]

—But there aren't any easy roles here. It's no fun being helpless after a bad game — or whatever the hell that was — either.

[longredribbon]

[He's seen worse. Some of it personally inflicted. If one can be healed, by any means, then it's at least worth the attempt, even when on the extremely unpleasant side.]

It isn't. [. . .] I really have no idea what I would call it, myself. It was bizarre.

[at_heart]

[ OH HEY here's an easier topic. ]

We got drafted, same as any game, but they sure didn't give us points for 'winning'.

[longredribbon]

That's certainly a better way to phrase it.

[at_heart]

Sorta got the impression Her Majesty had been a problem for a while? No idea about the... uh... clown-guy your side had to fight, though.

[longredribbon]

I have no doubt that there's a whole lot more about this place that's unknown to us.
