A drop of something shiny and yellow dripped onto his cheek. He sat up, wiping it off. 

“I thought so… but you can never be sure. Sometimes prose is peculiar…”

She laid her head on his shoulder, still sad.

So what . . . you're a Narrator now?

“I think I’ll live,” she said. “You need to get this figured out.” She reached up and gently touched his wounds. 

bold isn’t working again 😭

Fixed :)

"Gah!"

He flinched, jerking his shoulder away in pain.

"Argh . . . sorry, that just stings . . ."

Rebus nodded, teleporting the two of them back to Tam. He also stayed behind, fighting a hologram of Utility in case anyone was watching. 

Oh. Hey, guys.

He considered asking what in the world this device was, but thought better of it. 
"I wanted to ask for extra information on the roc. How aggressive will it be, does it have young, and is it afraid of fire?" he glanced down at his own mount, "And how scared of fire is this griffon?"

“It’s very aggressive, yes it has young, and it’s terrified of fire. The griffins should be well trained enough to be all right.”

"Out of range of the boulders."

“Oh. Like on a quest??” He seemed excited.

Alright. 
There was, of course, another mirror. Her facial expression was wrong, in this one - distorted into a sneer. 

That was familiar, but she still felt a pant of guilt looking at it.

He shrugged. 

“Yes. No. What does it matter? I don’t even feel like me anymore. Who cares what I am now?”

Yep. How'd it go?

“Fairly well, actually. We got them evacuated, and though we did more damage than I would have liked, I think the only fatality was the person who decided to sell out and advised Utility to imprison people’s families.”

The reflection seemed to know her feelings. Weak.

I care, she muttered sadly, taking his hand.

That's good.

"There's still a group imprisoned in the deep caverns," Utility pointed out.

these poor folks are so bad at talking :D 

He lay there silent, for a while.

Khione stared at the sky, watching clouds roll and the sky change shades slowly. “It’s weird, right? Being outside after only remembering that box”

3 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

“I don’t know…”

He laughed softly. “You ever think that we’re losing our minds here? It’s nice, but we’ve been out of society for so long its hard fo just integrate again”

"Let's get out of the boulders first, okay?"

"Yeah. I remember being outside, I just can't recall it." he agreed.

“We’ve hardly even been in society,” she reminded him. “Let’s fly now.”

"Yeah. I remember being outside, I just can't recall it." he agreed.

“Okay!” He grabbed her hand and ran very very fast.

“You wanna go tell the lovebirds in the back?” He jested

“The second button.”

She felt tears welling up in her eyes.

But . . . you are still you . . .

He closed his eyes. He yawned— no, it just felt like he did. Some gulf had opened up in his chest, so deep and wide and sudden he choked. 

“I don’t feel like me,” he managed, voice quivering.

She pulled him close.

He shook his head and hugged her tightly, curling up next to her. 

No. I just… I feel wrong inside, and I’m hurting you…

He stared at the ground. Maybe there was a shadow covering the entire area. Maybe it was cast by a huge giant boulder. 

He hugged Tam a little closer. Maybe it was just a cloud. Yes, he saw with a glance, it was just a cloud…

She pressed her face into his shoulder, tears slipping down her cheeks.

Could we fix it somehow . . . ? she asked quietly.

"Ok." He pushed the second button and checked to see how far away they were

The stone crag below seemed to be what the GPS was indicating.

Tam, I don’t want to hurt you…

It's okay, you're not, she muttered as she was actively trying not to sob.

I am. And I’m worried it’ll get worse. He pulled her onto his lap and cuddled her close, rocking her back and forth. A… a lot worse.

"We're here Eepy. lets investigate." Cadewyn gently steered the Griffin down.

She pressed her head against his chest, silently crying.

Why can't we go back to your family's house? Or the cabin? Or the beach, even . . . why can't we just stay happy?
