"What is this cave exactly?"

Permalink

"It's a little cavern full of glowy crystals in Chronicle, with assorted friendly harmless animals. Harley took one of them home with him."

Permalink

"Harley seems to like it there," says Sue. "I think it helps with the - sensory depressurization thing."

Permalink

"What exactly," says Aether, "happened to him?"

Permalink

"He spent five years in the sun," says Sue. "And felt it. There was some other stuff before that, but that's what's screwing him over so badly right now."

Permalink


"Yeah, I definitely need to finish school, this entire group of people needs a therapist on call."
Permalink

"Which group?" laughs Sue.

Permalink

"The peal and all our friends, seems like, given the number of obvious applications for therapizing I've encountered in the last hour."

Permalink
Sue giggles.

"Yeah, I kinda see your point."
Permalink

"So between that and the fact that a pentagon for subtle arts only helped a little I think I'll finish my degree, maybe accelerated or something."

Permalink

He nods. "Sounds like a plan to me."

Permalink

"Yeah. So - Elspeth, I hear you're good at summarizing things? Can you get me up to speed on all the things?"

Permalink

Elspeth commences getting her up to speed on all the things.

Harley pops in and out a few times, back and forth from the Gentle Cave. Sue occupies himself encouraging Harley and listening in on Celo's exploits.

Eventually, Sue sends Aether a quick heads-up and Celo appears, hair slightly mussed but as sparkling clean as usual, with a big grin on his face.

"Yeah, I think I've got the hang of this shit," he says. "Sue, you wanna anchor me in Chronicle just in case? Aether, wanna go grab my field?"

"Can do. Let me get Glass for a second peek at the world without so much vomiting this time. Sue, can you keep me in link just in case?"

Permalink

"No problem," Sue says cheerfully.

Permalink

"Thanks. Jane, can you ask Glass -?"

Permalink

[Yep!]

Permalink
And here is Glass.

"Here we go again," she says wryly.
Permalink

"I don't need you to go very far or leave my aura at all," soothes Aether. And out they go to the door, which Aether opens - discernible aura snugly withdrawn.

Permalink

Callahan is just visible at the end of the hall, walking away. She doesn't seem to have a reaction to Aether's return.

Permalink

Glass's aura is visibly out. She stares at Callahan.

Permalink

"What?" murmurs Aether.

Permalink

Callahan makes a rude gesture in their direction without looking back, and then she turns the corner and she's off.

Permalink

"...Don't cross her," Glass mutters, and she slips back out the door.
