[ BOLD OF YOU TO THINK SHE WAS NOT TYPING FOR THAT ENTIRE PERIOD but she deletes it all once Cass's second message comes through. ]

I'm fine, Are you OK?
[ wait. shit. that wasn't at all what she asked. ]
My place.
The house in Maurtia.

[ Okay? Okay? She died. She died and she was never a god and-

It could be so much worse. ]

I'll come to you. It might take a bit.

[ And then she realizes- she should clarify why she won't be flying there, though apparently she could for just a bit if she wanted. ]

Laura, you were fucking right. About everything. Of course you were.

[morethanasuperstar]

I was right about YOU being right.

[ She should suspect what's happened. The logical next steps of her plan, combined with the porters nature, but all she can think about is how much she wants to see her friend. god, fuck, here she is crying again. Maybe she can get it out of her system by the time Cassandra arrives.

maybe. ]

[queenofseers]

That isn’t how it worked and you know it.

[ There’s a pause between messages. God. She doesn’t want them fighting, after everything. ]

Whatever. I’ll be over soon.

[ And soon she is. Standing at the door, looking...plain. She’s put on a t-shirt. She looks like she can barely see (because that’s the case)- no glasses. But she’s Cassandra, and she’s there, trying to pretend she hasn’t cried her eyes out multiple times that day. ]

[ CASS. CASS CASS CASS CASS HERE ON HER DOOR STEP STILL ALIVE AND STILL WITH HER AND HOLY SHIT MORTAL AND

Laura's fledgling skills at actually expressing herself fail her utterly. She just stares dumbfounded at the other woman, who may or may not be able to see the confounding face journey she's going through, for far too long before hauling her bodily over the door frame and into a tight hug. ]

[queenofseers]

[ Ah, fuck. Cassandra takes a deep, shaking breath, trying to pretend this isn't going to bring her close to tears yet again.

She hugs Laura back. She gets it now, finally. She lets herself sink into the hug, just a bit, tries to make it count. ]

You're- you're too fucking smart. I mean it. You knew everything.

[ She wants her to know that, before anything else. ]
