Jester, would you be able to look in on Caleb soon? He's very ill. I made sure he was cared for within my abilities, but I believe this is where your skillset shines.

What? He's sick? WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS.

I will check on him do not worry I am an EXCELLENT cleric he will be fine.

[dunamagic]

There is not a single person I can think of more suited to the task. He has a high fever, there should still be a cold basin of water and compresses by his bed.

[canheal]

What a dummy. Has he even been eating?

Ugh. MEN.

[dunamagic]

I am unsure. He drank water before he passed out.

[canheal]

HE PASSED OUT?!

How long ago was this?

You're in trouble now too!

[dunamagic]

I made sure he was dry and comfortable before leaving, I did not leave him drenched in sweat and without cold compresses.

About five minutes ago? Roughly.

[canheal]

Okay. Less trouble. Slightly less trouble.

Ughhhh. Still. BOYS.

But thanks, for looking out for him. He's bad at doing it himself.

[dunamagic]

I could tell he was. Perhaps give him some of your patented Jester hugs, the thumos and your company will help immensely.

[canheal]

That's what I told him!

[Actually she threatened to sit on him but you know, toMAYto toMAHto.]

[dunamagic]

Then I will leave him in your ever capable hands, Jester.

[canheal]

NOT SO FAST YOU'RE IN TROUBLE AGAIN!

YOU TOLD CALEB IT'D BE BETTER IF YOU NEVER MET HIM?!

IS THE STUPID CONTAGIOUS TODAY?

[dunamagic]

Ah. Then he remembers. I had hoped he was delirious enough not to.

[canheal]

So you really did say that?

Why would you say something like that? Aren't you glad you met him? And all of us?

[Do you want to make her cry here, Essek?]

[dunamagic]

I did not say that exactly, it seems he may not have heard all I said.

In his delirium, he said something that was..in that moment, hurtful -- as such, I said that things were simpler before meeting you all.

I am glad I met you all, I am grateful for the ways in which you have all changed me. That doesn't exactly change the fact of what I said.

[canheal]

Okay. You two really need to talk when you're both coherent.

Because this is all dumb.

I am from the FUTURE remember?? And BOTH of you are happier people because you met each other. It's like super obvious.

[dunamagic]

And yet we not have different experiences since coming here. Whatever occurred that allowed us to make up in your memory is not something that has happened for Caleb and myself.

And may never.

Not to dismiss your lived experiences, but it may not play out the same way. That is something we all need to make peace with, Jester.

[canheal]

[Her eyes roll so hard that she almost tips herself over.]

Being here hasn't changed either of you THAT much.

And why do you need to make peace with it? Is that what you want? Do you want to not make up?

[dunamagic]

I hardly think there is anything to make up for.

[canheal]

You're the one who said--

[BOYS ARE SO CONFUSING. She wishes Veth or Beau were here. Or Cad. Cad would have something really wise to say probably.

What would Caduceus do?

Fuck. She doesn't know.]

You're my friend, Essek. So is Caleb. I love you both, okay? A lot. And I want the people I love to be happy. That's all.

But you're the ones who get to decide that.

[dunamagic]

And I do not hold nothing against him.

[He knows what he said.]

And you are my friend, Jester. As far as Caleb, that is up to him to decide, though I consider him as such myself.

[canheal]

You're confusing, you know. Sometimes I think you do it on purpose.

But okay, good. That's very good.

Hey Essek! Let's go shopping this week okay? I need more paints and some ribbons.

[dunamagic]

[Ah, it seemed his many thoughts got ahead of him and looking at the message history, he sees his typographical error. That's fine, let her think that.]

Yes, I think that sounds like a nice change of pace.. and it sounds fun.
