[ at least three is higher than one and two, right? ]

[At least there's that.]

[And you suddenly find yourself in the ring.]

[And oh wow.]

[Wow, probably familiar now, that is a lot of death by RED VINES everywhere for a good chunk of people in Kyriakos both past and present.]

[And there's Roxy whose just....sitting, staring at a dead Sparrow whose got vines and glass in her.]

[ looking around slowly before approaching just as slow, remaining silent and stopping next to her. just... watching for the moment ]

[She just....stares at Sparrow for a long while.]

Can't get used to it.

[ still just watching her right now ]

The death?

[Nods.] Seein' my friends dead. Even here, it doesn't...

[She reaches out to touch Sparrow, stops, pulls back. Sparrow is too STILL and...well, it scares her.]

Death is still death. Even here.

[ sits down next to her, even if he wouldn't know who Sparrow is, it's still obvious her importance to Roxy ]

It's still real when it happens.

...yeah.

Still feels real, even if they come back. Eventually.

And since you've experienced it, you know the pain is real.

[ since. he's gotten the taste of that in this heart ]

[Nods.] Yeah.

She...really hates it. Has had nightmares 'bout it.

But she's always gotta try and save people.

The last part sounds like you. It looks like you probably have nightmares, too.

...sorta, I guess.

I dun...dream like normal people do. It's part of the Game. Just memories 'less someone else wanders in. Or just the void.

What do you mean by wandering in?

Sometimes it happens. I guess Delriza does it. Where people can wander into each others dreams.

At least I dun think dream bubbles are happenin' here.

Ah.

[ he'd ask more questions about this, but. there are... other things that are important here. he indicates Sparrow ]

Who is she?

[There's always later.]

Sparrow. From Taksahaka. She's my girlfriend.

I haven't met her.

[ not at all bothered by the "girlfriend" part ]

She's....with her patron echo right now.

Why's that?

[She shrugged.] She need to go, I guess. Protect her from breaking, probably.

[ he pauses a moment and taps into his sylladex for the pumpkin soup ]

Do you want some? Maybe you could tell me about her.

[She looks at the pumpkin soup.]

...would you eat too?

[ nods softly ]

We can share.

...all right.

[Will take the thermos and pours out some soup, holding it out to him.]

[She...she has a Food Thing, okay.]

She's from...a nice world. Overall. Some weird shits going on because she's friends with a horrorbeast terrorgod and that's always shenanigans. But it's like power of friendship reins supreme with their cool animal bodies. And she shows it. She's just....so hopeful. So bright and happy and brave.

[ he did gather something like that, since this is like a magical elixir. he'll take his share from her and starts to sip on it while listening, he nods, prompting her to go on with her talk ]
