[imperceptus]

Hey, so, no fine details needed, but. If you have any other siblings that are also liches, I'd really appreciate a warning.

[spellslots]

[Shit.]

Shit

[And quickly followed by:]

I'm sorry, Rin, I was gonna tell you that shit and it kinda slipped my mind. She didn't get too creepy did she?

[imperceptus]

It's fine.

[ It's not really all that fine, but. ]

It's none of my business, obviously. Liches are just a kill-on-sight kind of situation back where I'm from, that's all.

[spellslots]

It's pretty much the same for us. Lup and Barry are just exceptions, I should've remembered to give you the heads up.

[He feels bad :( ]

Did she tell you why they did it?

[imperceptus]

Desperation.

[ Which, hey: he understands. Desperation is the background radiation of his life. But still. ]

I didn't press it, though. Like I said: clearly not my business.

[spellslots]

There was this one year, our ship was shot down and all of us but Lucretia died in the first fucking day? Two days? I don't know how long we were unconscious before they killed us, but it meant Lucretia spent a year alone, running from the same assholes that turned us into statues, trying to fix the ship with whatever she could get her hands on.

It got real close to just losing everything, so Barry and Lup made sure we had a fall back. Even if all of us died again, they'd still be able to get the ship off a planet so we could be revived and start again.

[imperceptus]

[ Yup, that's intense. As he's come to expect when it comes to this lot. ]

You don't have to explain yourselves to me. You've suffered together, beyond measure, against incredible odds.

But if I hadn't been so surprised, I might have done something awful.

[spellslots]

I know, I should've told you, that's on me and I'm sorry.

It doesn't make it less of a shitty surprise in retrospect but she's sustained on love, that's who she keeps her shit together, just so you know. She's not gonna lose her composure and start fucking with anyone.

[imperceptus]

[ takes a minute before this text pings back ]

well

that's novel.

[spellslots]

I know it's a lot. We're working on the body issue.

Thank you for not hurting her

[imperceptus]

it's fine. your business

[ He's not part of it. He doesn't really have any right to be. ]

glad i didn't.

good luck

[spellslots]

[At first he thinks he should probably leave it at that, but he ends up spending the next five minutes feeling shit and worried, so a little later:]

Are we good, Rin?
I know I can't like, go back and fix it but if there's anything else I can do?

[imperceptus]

We're good.

Really really.

I was just caught off-guard. Not a feeling I enjoy.

[spellslots]

I feel you.

If you wanna know anything about what happened it's cool to ask, it's not really a secret or whatever we just don't talk about some of this shit cause it sounds kinda crazy.

[imperceptus]

It's all right.

[ Some other time, he thinks. It's not that he doesn't have questions, but he's still feeling raw about having a little sliver of a Moment right out in public--not to mention he's worrying certain notions to frayed shreds in his mind at present, wondering if it's ever possible that Pharolin could ever show up here. ]

You've lead an interesting life, though. To be sure.

[spellslots]

[He's not quite sure he buys that, but he doesn't want to push.]

It's been something. Kind of a shame Lucretia doesn't have her full journals here for you to read

[imperceptus]

Lmao

[ he learned that here ]

I doubt she'd let me look at them

[spellslots]

[that's cute wtf]

Sorry about her, pumpkin, she thinks you're negging her

[imperceptus]

I don't know what that is but I'm sure it's true

[spellslots]

It's like a backhanded compliment? She's gonna try to be nicer but let's not hold our breath

[The implication here is that Taako asked her to be nice, for whatever reason.]

[imperceptus]

I do that to everybody

lmao what

[ again ]

Did you intervene on my behalf,
perhaps

[spellslots]

[Maybe. He feels a bit embarrassed when Rin puts it like that.]

In my defense, I was very high

[imperceptus]

Precious

[spellslots]

[On one hand: rude

On the other hand: this probably means that Rin isn't super mad about the lich thing and he's so fucking relieved]

I guess I deserve that but also like

😒😒😒 Pretty sure I'm older than you, you don't get to call me precious

[imperceptus]

I'm as ancient as the seas

can't you tell by my ageless wisdom

[ nah ]
