[It might just be the person who decided it would be a good idea to NOT go to the soiree!]

--Elliot? Why are you back so early?

[kepthishead]

You were right. I shouldn't have gone.

[gavehimhead]

I was hoping I was wrong. What happened?

[kepthishead]

I was already running late, and she'd disappeared. I thought something had happened to her, but she was just with Machika. Then it turned out that that someone had told her that I had died and she worked it out that it was at a social event. We had a fight. I left.

[gavehimhead]

So nothing too serious, then.

[kepthishead]

What...?

[gavehimhead]

It was a joke, Elliot. Now sit down before you have even more of a panic attack.

[kepthishead]

[sits down and buries his head in his hands]

I just thought something'd had happened to her.

[gavehimhead]

And given your past experiences at those kind of events, you had every right to be worried. But she's fine, isn't she? So you don't need to dwell on it.

[kepthishead]

I can't allow myself to be afraid of things like this. I'm a Nightray and this is pathetic.

[gavehimhead]

You died and this is a perfectly understandable reaction. Stop beating yourself up over it, you idiot.

[kepthishead]

I'm going to have to apologise to her later.

[gavehimhead]

--...

[gavehimhead]

[sigh]

Yes, probably.

[kepthishead]

But not now.

[sighs but at least he's not as shaky now.]

I couldn't do it properly. Not as well as you'd want, anyway.

[gavehimhead]

I don't really care if you apologize to her or not. It's just that it will probably make you feel better later.

If you're both still upset you shouldn't try. Not until you've calmed down.
