[ Tyr for one is glad this is only through text. It's easier to hold back his emotions. ]

There's no point saying th

[ A little too harsh. ]

None of it was your fault. No one would have control like that.

[ And... ]

I'm glad you're yourself again.

text;

[firstaid]

I should have been able to. [She knows from experience... but experience didn't have slugs in her head, either.]

Thank you. I'm glad I'm myself again, too.

text;

[blackshadow]

You'll blame yourself forever thinking like that. It was a curse. You can't fight them.

[ There's still something to be said about his feeling like he let himself die. ]

Everyone is.

text;

[firstaid]

But I was able to at least kind of fight something like this before. However, if it's a curse, then perhaps you're right. There was nothing I could do. [And she hates that.]

I'm glad you're okay, too.

text;

[blackshadow]

Even in my world, there's not much you can do when someone else is controlling you.

[ And he'll leave that at that. ]

You were just lucky before.

Thanks. I'll be better once everything has been sorted out.

[ LIKE HIS RUNE. ]

text;

[firstaid]

Was I just lucky? [Maybe she was, at least when she wasn't inside that stupid bubble.]

I hope it all gets sorted out soon. [And beyond that, she doesn't really know what to say...]

text;

[blackshadow]

Lucky not to be under the same kind of control at the very least.

Me too.

[ But he wonders... ]

Yuri hasn't told you anything about me, has he?

text;

[firstaid]

No he hasn't.

text;

[blackshadow]

Good.

I'll see you again, Estellise.

text;

[firstaid]

Why? Did something bad happen do you? [This conversation is not allowed to end yet.]

text;

[blackshadow]

Something bad happened to Yuri, but we're sorting it out.

It's a private matter. I don't want Yuri to talk about it either.

voice;

[firstaid]

[And suddenly she decides text isn't good enough anymore, as her voice is now heard, desperate.]

What happened to Yuri? Please tell me!

voice;

[blackshadow]

[ His voice is steady and firm, trying to hide any signs of weakness. ]

I won't tell you anything over the network.

[ But she does deserve to know. ]

He's not hurt. He just has something of mine, and that's as much I'll tell you here.

voice;

[firstaid]

If I met you in person, would you tell me more?

[Because she wants to know. She has to know if Yuri is really okay!]

voice;

[blackshadow]

Only if you don't spread it around any more than it already has been.

[ She deserves to know a little more, anyway. He's sticking to Rita, so if Estelle knows where Rita is she automatically knows where Tyr is now! ]

voice;

[firstaid]

[She's never been the best with secrets, however, with as serious as he sounds, she knows it's one she can keep.]

I promise I won't tell anyone. [Because friends keep secrets as long as it's in their best interest. And she almost always knows where Rita is, but she hasn't been told as of late. However, she was in the safe zone, so just...]

Where are you?

voice;

[blackshadow]

I'll hold you to it. [ Not that he could (or would) do anything if she broke it... By now, he knows no-one outside his world knows anything about the rune. ]

I'm staying with Rita right now, in her tent in the safe zone. [ Followed by more specific directions for getting there. ] You're still in the desert, right?

[ Or he'll come pick her up and turn to sand. ]

voice; -> action;

[sacredpenance]

Yes, I am. I won't go into the other city unless Rita goes with me. [Because abandoning her friend is something she absolutely will not do.] I'll be there shortly.

[And that she is, as she invites herself into the tent, but doesn't do anything to even get near Tyr.]

action;

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr has no problem meeting her at the tent's entrance and guiding her further in. Not that it's a particularly large tent; he just doesn't want her to think he's scared of her or doesn't want her there.

Because she didn't hurt him, and he knows she wouldn't have been released if she wasn't better. He's just...a little tense when he takes her hand. ]

That's what I said, too... I don't think Rita would want to leave without you, either.

action;

[firstaid]

[She notices that when he takes her hand, that there's some fear involved, and she doesn't blame him one bit. She can't help but remember when she found out about Yuri's vigilante acts and he had asked her if she was afraid of him. She almost wants to ask the same thing to Tyr, but this situation so different.]

I'm glad to know that. [There's an emptiness in her voice... is she scared herself? But she knows that Tyr won't hurt her either, even after what she did to him.]

action;

[blackshadow]

...And she'll be back here soon enough, and she already knows about this... She could probably tell you almost as much as I could.

[ Which isn't completely false. She knows more than Tyr would tell Estelle. It'd probably be easier for her to be with Rita than with him.

After leading her in, he releases her hand and lets himself side to the floor. ] Anyway, sit down. It's weird to stand in a place this small.

action;

[firstaid]

[Estelle never asked Rita about Tyr, because if she was going to get such information, she'd rather get it from him. When gestured, she sits down, though still keeping a comfortable distance between the two of them.]

I suppose I could ask Rita, but it wouldn't seem right to do that.

action;

[blackshadow]

[ A comfortable distance is fine - and preferred - by Tyr. ]

I'd rather be the one explaining it to you anyway...

The short version of...what happened is that my curse was passed onto Yuri... I couldn't make it return to me, either. A long time before you arrived here, something happened with that curse that made Yuri hate it even more than anyone else.

Rita can seal the curse, though, once we get back to the real City.

action;

[firstaid]

This curse, it was the one you had told me about back in November, am I correct? [She remembers that, back when Rita had left for the month. The reason why Tyr feared getting close to people. What she didn't know what that Yuri was cursed with the same thing.]

Did that curse hurt someone?

action;

[blackshadow]

You're exactly right... For both of those.

[ He laces and unlaces his fingers anxiously. ]

It shouldn't be a risk once it's sealed, but...that doesn't change what happened before.
