[christ alive.



time to get literally all of these cleaned up and bandaged so that ruby can have a nice restful curfew with her girlfriend tonight.]

I'm glad they were able to help you, in that case...

[statues of their friends, though...? uh oh...]

[petalbursts]

[ sometimes you get dagger dagger daggered. it's fine. ]

Yeah...

[ she can kinda sense that lingering question. ]

Statues of people from here, but also from home...

...that must have been hard - seeing them in danger like that...

[petalbursts]

[ surprisingly, not that one. :pensive: ]

They all looked scared, like they were running from something...and they were.

[ she pauses, frowning as she recalls it. ]

Monsters that could turn you to stone, just by looking at you...four of them, all versions of our missing...

[ she closes her eyes. ]

[countermeasures]

Oh...

[big yikes...]

I'm very glad... that you were able to get out of that.

[petalbursts]

[she puts a hand over ruby's]

...I know. It must have been awful. I'm so sorry, Ruby.

[ before jiuqing puts a hand over hers, ruby reaches up and touches the middle chest wound. ]

The scar this leaves will serve as a reminder...of what happened...

[ she brings her hand down, once jiuqing's is over it. her eyes downcast. ]

[she gives her hand a gentle squeeze]
