Text. The Night of the Sinkhole Incident

[thenovice]

I have arived at home, Gwendolyne.
I apolygise, I bidd the spyders to leav with a broom.
I hope you are safe.

noooot that same night but late the next afternoon for sure

[gwennie]

they're probably hanging out right outside your door just so you know
but they'll leave you alone
but also help you with a knee brace again if you need it
i'm really glad you're okay

[thenovice]

[Diarmuid lays in his bed and does not leave since his initial message, too tired to retrieve his cloak and travel this morning as he's done every day since arriving — he had left his rust-colored towels beside a murky tub of now cold water... but the sound of Gwen's message pinging in forces his eyes open, and he looks at the screen with a breath of relief.]

I left a lanturn for them.
I shall_

rest a bit mor; rest ashured, I am okay.
What of your self? Please say that you are safe now.

[gwennie]

i'm still in and out of the caves
so far so good

would've texted you sooner but my phone wasn't working down there

can i come visit you? maybe not today but soon?

[thenovice]

May god be with you in your eforts.
It is okay, the safedy of others takes pryority.
You neednt visit if you are bisey.

[gwennie]

yeah well you're my friend and that makes you a priority too
but i'll make sure with my best efforts that there's nobody left stuck down there
and then i'll come visit you
deal?

[thenovice]

Thank you, Gwendolyn.
I'm glad we are frends.

[A long pause.]

I woud be happyest noing others suffer less becuss you are there for them.
Unless you like waching a tiryd monk slepe, you may rethink your deal.

[gwennie]

the deal is that everybody will obviously be safe and sound before i take a break to come visit so there you go
happy didi

but if you're not up for it that's ok too
i mean i'm going to keep checking in with you with texts and maybe even a phone call or two but
you should sleep yeah

i'm glad we're friends too btw

[thenovice]

I supose I am, yes, Gigi.

[His lips twitch into a smile, despite himself.]

I would like to slepe sleep, just for a wile.
Xhaustian has a hold on me, and I shall shake him loos.
I will text you plentifully if you woud like, for pease of mind.

[... And maybe guilty thoughts pull his lips back into a little frown.]

Perhaps 'Z z Z z'.
That is code for sleep, is it not?

[gwennie]

no no no sleep first if you're still really tired that's
yeah
do that

or do whatever you want

just know that i'll be badgering you at random times to check in and make sure you're doing okay because that's who i am as a person

and yes zZzZ is definitely a code for sleep

[thenovice]

Badgers are terifyin to behold, so I shake in my boots.
But I apreshiate the consern, truely & awate your badgering.

Thank you for saving me, Gwendolyn.
