I predict this will be a self-indulgent shippy meditation on power and responsibility but it's honestly hard to predict these threads

"Eh. Would've been the careful thing to do but someone needed to offer them a place."

"Poor Cecelia."

"Yeah. She'd already been through more than enough."

Permalink

"Mad at him but don't actually know if that's fair."

Permalink

"I'm assuming the idea is he thought she'd be in more danger with him. Or something."

Permalink

"Yes, definitely, but - still maybe justified in being mad at him. Depending on details."

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"Could've let her decide."

Permalink

"Yeah. Might've thought she wouldn't make a sensible decision, or wouldn't have felt very free to choose, I guess. And she does have kids."

Permalink

"Maybe he couldn't - let her choose not-him. It'd be very hard."

Permalink

"Maybe."

"I'm not gonna have any deep insights into what the fairy was thinking. Probably he was doing his best. I feel r - metaphorically rotten about being partially responsible for bringing misfortune on him in the first place. I hope Cecelia's okay eventually but I think it'll probably be really hard for her for a long time."

Nodnodnod.

 

"Suspect he'll want - once he's sure he won't die - if he doesn't die - suspect he'll want her back. Dunno if it'd be good for either of them."

Permalink

"Well, he's gonna have to be the one to do something about it, if he told her to never come back. Which is maybe logistically complicated if he doesn't have a way to contact us."

Permalink

"I guess if it seems in a couple months like it'd be good for her and she thinks so too we could have Matt or Connor go talk to him."

Permalink

"Yeah. I guess so. Maybe they'll have a better idea of how much time he might need."

Permalink

Nod. "You okay?"

Permalink

She sighs and frowns and doesn't immediately answer.

 

"Could probably go back to lying, now, but it seems - disrespectful, or something."

Permalink

- nod.

Permalink

 

"I guess I would not characterize myself as completely content with the situation."

Permalink

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to - I'm sorry. I could move out, if that helps."

Permalink

" - how would that help."

Permalink

" - well I don't want to kick Cecelia out, she's been through enough, but it's reasonable of you not to want me living here with her?"

Permalink

She looks really confused and then shakes her head and hugs him.

"I don't know what you're talking about. For the sake of avoiding more miscommunication problems I am going to try being annoyingly explicit about my feelings even though this is kind of ridiculous and embarrassing. 

"I don't - know how much to conclude about people from what their alts do. But I'm kind of a disappointing person, and it seems likely that we're going to end up in more bizarre life-threatening situations at some point, and - I don't want you to leave."
