Well, we still seem to be alive, spoopy.

[ She. Hates this. ]

Are you all right, spoopy?

[arcsplainist]

[ Wait. ]

I... yes.

[ A beat. Sorry, Dorothy. ]

"Spoopy"?

[misstrust]

I'm compelled to say it, spoopy. I couldn't tell you what it means, however-- spoopy.

[ fffffffffffffffff ]

[arcsplainist]

... I see—another one of the Realm's strange afflictions, then. Be at ease, my friend, I shall pay it no mind.

[ It's a little funny though. ]

[misstrust]

[ Shut up, Alphinaud. ]

I appreciate it, spoopy. I've had to yell quite a bit today already, spoopy.

[arcsplainist]

Come upon trouble already?

[ Says the guy who found a dead body. ]

[misstrust]

[ Yeah, she can't top that. ]

Ange couldn't hear very well, spoopy. Izumo and I both had to yell to get her attention, spoopy.

[arcsplainist]

Ah—that would do it. Did something happen to her...?

[misstrust]

I believe it had something to do with where she slept, spoopy.

[arcsplainist]

Little to worry of, then; it will wear off in due time, as will your own... ahem, particular need.

[misstrust]

... [ she just gives him a rather dry look ]

[arcsplainist]

[ :( ]

—I mean not to tease, I promise!

[misstrust]

I'm not entirely sure if I believe you, spoopy.

[arcsplainist]

[ noooo ]

Erm... Anyroad, headed elsewhere, Dorothy?

[misstrust]

I was just wandering, spoopy. I don't like to just sit there with my thoughts for company, spoopy.

[arcsplainist]

Should you want for company, might I join you?

[ He's a bit dirtied up, but ... Honestly, he isn't in a rush. ]

Do take it easy on yourself if you must, as well.

[misstrust]

I'd always welcome a gentleman like you for company, spoopy!

[ And she flashes him a smile. ]

[arcsplainist]

[ Likewise, he returns the smile. He hadn't expected her to say no, but it's a relief to hear nonetheless, especially after how the day has already gone. ]

Full glad I am to hear it. And whatever is on your mind, I hope it is not troubling you too much.

[misstrust]

Not anything that no one else isn't also dealing with, spoopy. [ She flaps a hand, reassuring. ]

It's all right, spoopy.

[arcsplainist]

If you are certain.

[ But, no pressing it!! ]

How is your leg coming along, by the by? I do hope you aren't straining yourself overmuch.

[misstrust]

I'm trying not to... I know it takes a while for broken bones to heal, spoopy.
