... Sure, but I don't want to waste too much energy.

[agleam]

Doesn't it take more energy to pretend you're fine?

[bxkautx]

I really am fine. With numbers this low and so many dead each week, it's like... It could have been someone I was closer with. It could have been someone who takes dying seriously. And it wasn't.

[ she shrugs. but there is a lot of genuine appreciation that he asked. ]

[agleam]

...Okay. As long as you're sure.

[bxkautx]

[ actually. just decides to say it in words. ]

Thanks for checking. A lot of people don't, which—you know. Makes sense.

[agleam]

[after a moment:]

Whether it makes sense or not... Nobody should feel like they need to be tough all the time, or feel like nobody cares enough to ask.

[bxkautx]

I think it makes sense to assume someone who keeps saying it's not a big deal doesn't think it's a big deal. And is correct.

But yeah, I dunno. The gesture is nice.

[agleam]

Maybe, but then what's going to happen the one time it is a big deal?

[bxkautx]

Nothing!

[agleam]

Nothing, as in - you don't think you'll have anyone to talk about it with, or...?

[bxkautx]

It's happened before.

I figure the only thing that would bother me that much is if one of the people who does check on me was gone. And then, well, kind of a self explanatory situation.

[agleam]

...Well. I know making promises like that is pretty ridiculous considering the entire set up, but - I definitely don't intend to.

[bxkautx]

Well. Now if anything happens to you I'll be extra angry.

[ probably? joking...? ]

[agleam]

[huffs out a laugh]

You've got my permission.
