[Game 18] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

It's early morning by the time they tidy up the house and fix the windows—leaving it as neat as they'd entered it, Tristan promises—and head out. Tristan seems to be itching to just get away from the place, though they can't return to the church, and it's now New Year's Day—so they head back across the border to the house in New York. Even Sariel comes along—albeit reluctantly—at Tristan's suggestion.

"To my understanding," Tristan says, "the kid's with Sera right now, which I'm cool with. I was a bit rough on him, so he might be sleeping it off for another little while—and like you all said, he might be a bit freaked out to see a dozen people staring at him. So let's leave him there for now. I can send you all home." He pauses.

"But if you want to come back soon . . . I can bring you back. No agenda necessary. If you don't want to come—well, let me know, and I'll try not to bring you."

Societal norms. I can think of specifics after I've has a proper night's sleep.

New Jersey society doesn't care very much about public displays of affection. Especially during the holidays.

[gavehimhead]

I'll keep it in mind.

[troublebrewing]

... how is everything? Outside of this world, I mean. For you.

[gavehimhead]

It's...difficult to describe.

[troublebrewing]

Did something happen?

[gavehimhead]

Nothing I didn't know about before. I just don't know how to deal with it.

[troublebrewing]

Would it help if you tried to put it into words? Sometimes that helps me.

[gavehimhead]

Talking about it, you mean?
