That bad, huh?

[ She's not going to pry, but she can read into that response pretty well. ]

You don't have to talk about it. [ Then, hesitantly: ] But...I'm here if you ever need me.

[ Her expectations of him taking her up on the offer are low, but she feels better at least knowing she put it out there. ]

[dothelokimotion]

. . . I appreciate that but I will be fine. They were just setbacks, nothing more.

[alsoagirl]

Hey, whatever you say, champ. Just offerin'.

[ She sighs quietly. Even knowing how stubborn he is, it's always a sight to behold. ]

Just one more thing, so I don't keep you too long... [ She sighs again, for a different reason this time. ] It's true that Draco isn't here anymore, right?

[dothelokimotion]

[ a faint pause. ]

I'm afraid not. Where he has gone . . . I cannot say.

[alsoagirl]

...Figured. Hope he went home like I did, at least. And that these chucklefucks don't bring him back.

[ And no, that was not a sniffle! ]

Well, thanks. I'll leave you be. But, um...weird as it is, I'm kind of glad you're still here.

[dothelokimotion]

[ huh. ]

You went home?

[alsoagirl]

[ She's so used to popping in and out of worlds being a thing that the nonchalance (or maybe resignation?) is evident in her voice. ]

Well, yeah. Almost wish I hadn't. It's such a tease.

[dothelokimotion]

It certainly seems cruel.

[ loki would have been wrecked if he got to go back. at all. and then yanked once more to this place. ]

[alsoagirl]

Oh, hell yeah. But I'm used to it.

[ Somehow, she sounds older than she really is. She doesn't realize how much she's grown sometimes. ]

Thanks, though. I'm gonna go...I dunno. Break somethin'. Talk to you later, okay?

[dothelokimotion]

[ a pause. ]

Of course. Anytime.
