[Game 21] Epilogue

[arsgoetia]

So, you get your Philly cheesesteak, and you head back on another train, returning to New York at fuck o'clock in the morning. Maybe you get a nap on the train, or maybe you're full of yawns and misery as you head back to Sariel's house at the crack of dawn. Paz went on her merry way with wonderful promises for the future, but Hale is with you, seeming remarkably energetic.

Madison is just barely held back by Kieran, it seems, from just sprinting out the door as soon as you get anywhere near the yard. As it stands, as soon as you all make your way past the gate, there's a redhead barreling down to greet you.

[onelastknight]

It was definitely okay. You used it well. You're a good Master.

[boatsights]

[squeaks, blushes, and looks very touched]

[onelastknight]

[ oh no /// ]

Did you take any breaks to eat, while we were gone?

[boatsights]

Um—Kieran made me eat some toast at one point.

[onelastknight]

I can cook something, if there are any ingredients left.

[boatsights]

I think Tristan offered to order in . . . since we have no groceries left. Maybe, another time, though . . .?

[his face falls slightly]

Though—everyone is likely to be going, soon.

[onelastknight]

Oh, yes, I suppose. I could reduce the portion sizes, though.

[boatsights]

I really think all we have left is peanut butter.

[onelastknight]

... Well, that is problematic.

[boatsights]

If you stay—

[onelastknight]

[ blinks ]

If?

[boatsights]

Um—most people . . . leave. Within the day, or so.

[onelastknight]

—Oh. My experience with summoning is a little bit more longterm than that.

[boatsights]

Paracelsus . . . mentioned. If—if you do stay, though, I mean, if you want to stay, I'd be happy.

[onelastknight]

I would love to stay, and continue to help, if you'd continue to benefit from my support.

[boatsights]

I, um, think that evidenced from today, we were a very effective team . . .

[onelastknight]

Yes. I would be happy to help for as long as you like.
