[ when rupert dozes off, he'll find himself standing in a blank if slightly fuzzy at the edges dream space. aquila is there! they give a little wave. ]

...Hey, Rupes. 's good to see you.

[agleam]

[he gives them a wave, looking relieved as well.]

It's really good to see you, too. I was worried it might not be possible until this was all over.

[guestservices]

Yeah. Some things are consistent no matter the place, apparently.

[ yaaay graveyards. ] We can't really see you guys beyond the way we are now, but, hey, it's a start. How're things over there?

[agleam]

Yeah... It's definitely better than being isolated until this is all over.

[he nods.]

It's not bad! I mean, some stuff happened yesterday, but... This place is way better than the daycare even with that, so.

[guestservices]

[ rupert can't see their face, but they are definitely making a face. ]

Yeah. That whole... thing. How's that going?

[agleam]

We're, uh... still working on a plan. We'll figure it out! He's definitely a pain, but I think we've all dealt with worse, so.

[guestservices]

Yeah. I told Kaeya to try and do a little organizing. 'm sure the two of you will be able to help out.

...If nothing else, least there are a bunch of you to distract him.

[agleam]

Yeah... In literally any other situation, I wouldn't be glad there are this many of us here, but it should come in handy.

[guestservices]

Hah, yeah. Making the best of a bad situation, right? You're already on the tiger's back, no time to dismount.

[agleam]

Ha... Never heard that one before, but I like it! Is it common where you're from?

[guestservices]

Ah, nah. Orion says it all the time and I thought it was kinda cool sounding.


[ aquila says



you know, like a liar. ] They said it means something like - once you're in it, no going back.

[agleam]

I'm going to tell Orion you think they're cool.

[rupert]

It's good advice either way, though.

[guestservices]

[ help

they snort and sound very, very amused. ]

You can tell Orion anything you want. [ lol. ] But, yeah. Think so too. Might as well charge in wings blazing, 's how I do it.

[agleam]

If I didn't know any better, I might think that you're encouraging recklessness, you know.

[teasing]

[guestservices]

[ they put their hand on their chest. ]

Me? I would never.

[agleam]

Right, right. You are entirely respectable and constantly cautious.

[guestservices]

[ i love losing notifs

wehehe ]

Exactly.

[agleam]

The more you say that the less believable it is! Just so you know.

[guestservices]

If that's the case, then I'm counting on you to continue to spread the rumor that I am responsible and have never been reckless, Rupes.

[agleam]

Hmm... What would be in it for me...?
