Tom? Are you awake?

Comments

[tom_hanniger]

Yeah.

[vaultpaladin]

Oh good. I was afraid something had happened to you too. [A pause.] You okay?

[tom_hanniger]

[He debates the correct answer for a moment]

Yeah.

[No, not really]

[vaultpaladin]

Where are you, then?

[tom_hanniger]

Uh--

In the forest.

[vaultpaladin]

...Why?

Oh, never mind. Stay there, I'll find you.

[tom_hanniger]

What did I do?

[vaultpaladin]

You didn't do anything, but you shouldn't be out there in the dark. Do you want to get killed out there?

[tom_hanniger]

I'll be fine. I'm out here all the time.

[vaultpaladin]

And now you're getting company.

[tom_hanniger]

[A long pause]

What's going on?

[vaultpaladin]

I haven't talked to you in nearly a week and with Butch dying... I don't know. I got worried. You've been silent. And when I went to the Forge, you weren't there.

He thinks she's so pissed.

[tom_hanniger]

Ooh.. Look, I'm sorry. It's not you. I just hate this time of year.

I didn't mean to make you think... Anything was going on.

she so mad

[vaultpaladin]

What? No, it's okay. I was just worried about you. I didn't...want you to think that day was just a hit and run or whatever you want to call it. And I don't want you out alone with this killer.

nooooo ;a;

[tom_hanniger]

I'd be getting what's coming to me.

[Though he sounds taken aback by her concern]

aww, not really, tho :<

[vaultpaladin]

Don't say that. You're a sweet guy. You don't deserve anything like that.
