Where? [she’s not letting this go so easily.]

[retellers]

[ they sigh ] The last thing we need is people grave robbing.

[showyourself]

No one is robbing any graves!

Why are you making this so... suspicious?

[retellers]

I haven't said anything suspicious. Why does everyone keep thinking we're getting zombies?

[showyourself]

I don't even know what a zombie is!

[she sighs.]

No, no. I'm not going to let you wind me up. You either can't, or won't tell me. I can just... ask someone else, and see what they say. This isn't your fault.

[retellers]

Are you talking to me, or yourself?

[showyourself]

Yes.

[she prods him in the chest, advancing on him.]

Tell me everything that's happened to the people who have died that you're able to! If that's nothing, so be it, but I! Want! To! Know!

[she prods him again on each word.]

[retellers]

[ they take a step back at every prod, less out of intimidation and more out of trying to get out of this ]

What do you want me to say? They died.

[showyourself]

[hands on her hips, she leans forward, giving him such a look--

--and then sighs, rocking back on her heels, shaking her head.]

I don't know.

I suppose, since everything else here is... [she shakes her head again.] If the Realm has enough power to hamper my magic, then... perhaps, it could use some of that to bring people back to life, too.

I don't want to believe that this is really their end.

[retellers]

I don't know how your magic works. But the only thing you can do for everyone else now is to move forward. If you linger too much on maybes, you'll get stuck.

[showyourself]

[she leans toward him again, waving a finger at him, hands still aggressively parked on her hips]

I am moving forward. It's the only thing I know to do!

But moving forward can also mean righting past wrongs, Wolf. Just remember that.

[retellers]

I wasn't saying you couldn't try to do that.

[ stop no bully ]

[showyourself]

[at this point, it's fully wolf bully hours]

Good. Because I will. [hmph.] Try to do that.

Now. What's your favorite food.

[retellers]

[ hhhhh ?? the subject change?? ]

What?

[showyourself]

Answer the question!

[for some reason she's not dropping the attitude, though???]

[retellers]

Stew? Stop being so aggressive about this!

[showyourself]

Thank you.

[she. exhales, in one breath, and pushes her hair over her shoulder.] Okay.

Favorite flavor. Don't say stew.

[retellers]

... Is the flavor for the stew?

[showyourself]

[she puffs up her cheeks.]

[retellers]

Look, I don't know why you're asking!

[showyourself]

You're not supposed to! It's a surprise!

[retellers]

I don't like surprises.

[showyourself]

It's really going to be a surprise if you don't give me anything to go on, Wolf!

[big bully vibes incoming]

[retellers]

Just don't get me anything!

[showyourself]

No!

And now that you've said that? I'm going to shower you in presents!
