[ Eithan doesn't mind the clinging - he's just glad Belth isn't falling over. He only just got all of that mana back after all, so Eithan would've felt horrible if he'd somehow messed that up.

Just like last time, he presses his fingers over the bite. His other hand goes back to Belth's shoulder, and he smiles. ]

Yeah, fair's fair.

[arcanepower]

[His thick lashes flutter as he tries to keep himself steady. He's probably not going to feel well for another hour or two, as before, but at least he's not passing out.]

This attack could have ended up so much worse. We were lucky. Too lucky.

[deviances]

[ Yeah, Eithan can tell how unsteady he still is - so he'll just gently start trying to get him to sit on the floor, like last time. And of course, he'll sit right beside him - all the better to be leaned against! ]

Yeah, luck in the form of those other guys showin' up. You know, also out of nowhere. Geez. Honestly? This whole day was fuckin' nuts, start to finish...

[arcanepower]

[He doesn't struggle. Eithan's arms feel like the only safe thing in the universe right now, so Belth isn't shy about leaning on him, even resting his head on the other mage's shoulder.]

I wonder what they want. Surely they want something...

[deviances]

[ Even when he moves his hand away from Belth's neck, his arms all to easily settle around him - in a way that somehow just seems to make sense. Like he doesn't even need to think about it. ... Of course, if he did think about it, he might actually notice the faint tint of red in his own cheeks, but... well, Eithan never claimed to be a thinker. ]

Obviously they don't want us dead... But what the hell could we have that they'd want? Somethin' on the ships? Some kinda knowledge?

so a certain someone is forcing me to tell everyone i'm turning 19 in like a week but you don't have to do anything for it

okay that's all bye

[deviances]

haha - no luck keeping it quiet i take it? well happy birthday at least!

[robitussin]

here's a tip, if you have a significant other never tell them the date

thanks it's on the 12th

[deviances]

well yeah, if they know your birthday it's automatically their job to make sure the world knows

also you know i'm gonna ask it so - what do you want? can't say nothing

[robitussin]

i can in fact say nothing it's my constitutional right

[deviances]

[ aw, come on...! you can probably imagine him grinning, though. ]

okay okay... what if we pretend you can't?

[robitussin]

well hypothetically if there was someone with a birthday coming up, she hypothetically might like one of the hypothetical plants they're selling in this hypothetical underwater city

hypothetically

[deviances]

hypothetical plant! got it! hypothetically :)

[robitussin]

if this hypothetical girl was real she might say thank you

[deviances]

[ how do most of their conversations end up silly like this ]

she's hypothetically welcome, of course

[robitussin]

[because they themselves are ridiculous, probs]

hypothetical thumbs up

[ YOU CAN'T SEE IT BUT HE'S SCOWLING AT HIS COMMUNICATOR AND BLUSHING A LITTLE AT THE SAME TIME, it's kind of great. ]

[deviances]

[robitussin]

if you don't want to say something stupid maybe you should start with not overthinking it for months
