Thank you. For trying to help me back there.

Later. Not tonight.

[trywarlockpatreon]

[They try to restrain an excited reaction. Folding hands and schooling their expression.

That tail sure does get going, though.]

Please do. I'll listen when you're ready.

[selfdissecting]

[ ah, Tandy. the wrong idea, they think, but... you know, maybe not. maybe...

they lose themselves in the text messages for a few moments. and they have to be careful not to fall in completely and just. spiral down through memories that have gone more bitter than sweet. there's the rub, though: you will make it~! ]

It is just hard.
