audio; joint message to Steve and B: dated to after she returns

[cactusy]

I'm back. Just wanted to let you know.

[worthallthis]

Oh good. Which means Steve's gotta be back too, right?

[It better mean that. You'd better be on your way to the cabin right now, Steve.]

You okay? No, uh. Spiritual damage from all that time in Death?

[Because he heard that's a thing that can happen.]

[cactusy]

Pretty sure that's not a thing, B.

[Ah, the lore one misses when one never actually makes it to the port city. ]

[worthallthis]

Unless the people in the city were wrong, it's definitely a thing. It's why necromancers and the, uh, good necromancers? It's why they're so pale. The whole river thing leeches their spirit and takes the color out of their skin.

I did kind of ask around, you know. Because I had this friend who wouldn't come out all week.

[cactusy]

There were some zombies that did that, but it didn't last. Two weeks and I'm fine.

[worthallthis]

I'll hold you do that.

[A pause.]

I hear I'm being volunteered to bring you cocoa and-or coffee. Got a preference or should I surprise you?

[cactusy]

I thought we were putting you on the hook for both.

[worthallthis]

Both it is, then. Together or separate?

[cactusy]

Together. Thanks, I owe you one.

[worthallthis]

What are friends for?

I'll bring 'em over shortly, once Steve's got the food together. We can all hang out a little bit. Maybe I can even give you a hug.

[There's a tease in his voice for that one, but he's serious. He's going to hug her, dammit.]

[cactusy]

Yeah, yeah; everybody always wants to break my ribs.

[She doesn't actually sound pissed off, though, so. ]

Hanging out sounds good. The dogs are here, too.

[worthallthis]

We'll be there in a little bit, then. I'll bring Libby and D so the dogs can hang out, too.
