[ the usual "outside" text here is what she gets. i'm very tired and forgot to check audiences ]

Hey.

[ what's up. ]

[chanteuser]

[ kisses zia's cheek. ]

[ firstly, is there an obvious button hole or something in his robe she can hook the flower into? otherwise she's going to have to try and get it behind his ear and that'll just be awkward. ]

Hello.

[ flower first, question after. ]

[retellers]

[ make it awkward, because no there is no button hole. but i mean. she can put it in the hole of his wolf ear mask so it's funnier ]

... That necessary?

[chanteuser]

Yup. I couldn't fine one that was exactly like your eye colour, so this was the best I could do.

[ it's your PRESENT, wolf. it's a very pretty blue. ]

[retellers]

What's with you and my eyes?

[ but, long suffering though they may be, they accept the pretty blue flower. ya weirdo. ]

[chanteuser]

[ GMAIL ]

They're a really pretty colour? [ stop, she's being nice. ]

I did actually have something to ask you though.

[retellers]

[ i wish he knew what it was so i could go "thanks its from the planets lifeblood" ]

What is it?

[chanteuser]

[ stop she'll feel bad ]

Is there any truth to the idea that one team doing too many kills is bad for the people that have been removed?

[retellers]

I've heard that too, but... [ wolf shrugs ] I don't know. Think it might be a tactic to make sure certain people don't kill.

[chanteuser]

I know you can't talk much about your team, but... is it something to do with the numbers you have left?

[retellers]

I don't think so. More like the numbers the rest of you have left.

[ aka the kill ones ]

[chanteuser]

[ it would be lovely if they all had a counter for this, but alas. ]

So... how many people per team, to stop people targeting already low teams?

[retellers]

I only know my own team for sure. For everyone else, you'll need to ask around.

[chanteuser]

... I think I have an idea, or two.

You're not at risk though?

I'm not asking for numbers I just... want to know you and your team are doing okay.

[retellers]

I'll be fine. Don't worry about me.

[ that tells her ... nothing ]

[chanteuser]

... You can say that, but it's going to happen anyway.

[retellers]

Well, don't. Nothing's going to happen to me.

[chanteuser]

[ never say never. ]

...

We'll do our best to make sure it doesn't?

[retellers]

[ huffs ]

I can take care of myself.

[chanteuser]

I'm not saying you can't. But that won't stop people worrying.

[retellers]

... Yeah, I know. [ it is ... exhausting. ]

[chanteuser]

[ suck it up buttercup. ]

We all worry about each other to a point. I think it's probably just a natural progression, being in a place like this.
