escortegbert asked: Thank you. I will buy more if I use too many.
don’t worry about it, you probably won’t
i always buy those huge boxes of bandaids (the paranoia from parenthood never really fades)
what happened though?
escortegbert asked: I asked a couple of hours ago where the band aids are...
oh!
how odd, i never got an ask or anything…
anyway, they’re in the bathroom, the mirror above the sink is also a cubboard
escortegbert asked: I really do need to know where they are.
know where what is?
escortegbert asked: Christian?
yes james? what is it?
i’ve just remembered something from long ago
when i was very very little i had a puppet
i can’t rightly recall what he looked like, but i do remember having him
his named was… oh, what did i call him?
sal? pal?
it was something like that…
i’m not even really sure what made me think of it just now, or when i lost him
i do remember crying myself sick over him though
my mother bought me a small toy crow to replace him, a toy which i gave to my own son when he was born
“More than once? Goodness! That just sounds awful! I’ve only died once and… well, it’s not something I’d ever want to go through again.”
You resist the urge to hug him again, not wanting to overdo it. You settle for clasping his hands in yours though, smiling warmly.
“I’ve been told that, quite a few times. I don’t see why other Striders wouldn’t want to be happy or friendly though. It’s much nicer than being moody and brooding.”
“A lot more then once. But yeah, dyiing once ii2 horriible enough.”
He manages to bring another grin to your face, and you sqeeze his hands when he’s got yours clasped.
“Probably becau2e beiing moody and broodiing ii2 much ea2iier.”
“Goodness… I hope it doesn’t happen again to you. I know it would sadden Dave a lot if you died.”
You make a small happy squeal when he grins, happy to see it.
“Well that’s a load of hooey! I know from experience that it’s easier to be happy. I was once unhappy and being happy is much easier and less stressful than brooding.”
“Have you ever died, Mage?”
You giggle a little when you notice him wiggling his fingers.
“Sorry, did I hug you too hard? I have a bad habit of doing that. I think I nearly crushed Dave at the airport. Maybe the only thing wonderful about me are the crushing hugs I give.”
“Ah… ye2, actually. More then once.”
You’re somewhat amazed at how cheery this guy is, for a Strider.
“Ii don’t know about you, but ii don’t thiink there’2 a lot of 2triider2 out ther that are quiite a2… friiendly.”
“More than once? Goodness! That just sounds awful! I’ve only died once and… well, it’s not something I’d ever want to go through again.”
You resist the urge to hug him again, not wanting to overdo it. You settle for clasping his hands in yours though, smiling warmly.
“I’ve been told that, quite a few times. I don’t see why other Striders wouldn’t want to be happy or friendly though. It’s much nicer than being moody and brooding.”
“Oh? I mean, I guess I understand that but still… death is such a painful experience, and it can drive very important people away from you.”
You finally release him from the hug, still smiling brightly.
“Me? Oh goodness no! I’m a very mundane, plain, sort of guy. I’m not horrible or anything like that, but I’m not very wonderful either.”
“Ii 2uppo2e Ii can agree wiith that.”
You wriggle your fingers when he releases you from the hug, just to make sure he didn’t cut off circulation.
“Well, Ii wouldn’t know.”
“Have you ever died, Mage?”
You giggle a little when you notice him wiggling his fingers.
“Sorry, did I hug you too hard? I have a bad habit of doing that. I think I nearly crushed Dave at the airport. Maybe the only thing wonderful about me are the crushing hugs I give.”
