[ She's automatically inclined to worry about him, these days, especially knowing he plays his own problems down often. That inclination might be obvious in her response. ]

Hey, what's up? Are you okay?

[yol8]

Not really. But I wanted to say thank you properly, for saving me.

[queenofseers]

[ If they were speaking in person, she'd roll her eyes- but as a way of masking the vulnerability of the situation. Why's he always got to be like this. ]

You definitely do not have to say thank you to me for that. You know I wasn't going to just leave you there, right?

[yol8]

I know, but I also... didn't know. I didn't really think about anything while in there, other than that I had to stay awake and...

Yeah, actually, don't really want to think about it too much...

[queenofseers]

Yeah, let's not. Everyone's miserable enough around here.

[ She does want to ask if there was anything more she should know- but she knows it'd hurt. ]

Besides, I already fucked up by not noticing anything before all that shit went down. I might as well have owed you.

[yol8]

You don't owe me for not watching my every move. I should know better. I'm old enough to know better.

Sorry. I just feel so stupid. I should have... jumped out a window or something, when Woden had me cornered.

[queenofseers]

So am I. Hell, I'm the oldest, so shouldn't I be the one saying that?

Besides, I think I've gotten you beat on the "feeling stupid" front, too. [ She pauses before sending her next message; this shouldn't be a pity party, should it. ] Can we stop before we turn this into an apology battle? Clearly we're both feeling like major fuck-ups right now, we've got the picture.

[yol8]

How are we supposed to try and out-pity each other if we stop the apology battle now?

[There's the faintest hint of a joke there, somewhere.]

Yeah, no, you're right. Let's drop this part and move on.

[queenofseers]

[ She's pretty sure he's covering for something, but it could just be the obvious- feeling badly after what happened and not wanting to worry her. It'd make just as much sense as anything. ]

Yeah. So what is going on? Are you feeling alright?
