[soft scuffling sounds, a wheezy cough, a wet and throaty snarl, and then something slams down with force right next to the device. He sounds slurred. Drunk maybe, beat up, definitely. Six of one and half a dozen of the other.]

A day is never wasted...Perhaps you ought to rest. You will feel better in the morning.

[voice]

[is_fear_itself]

Mmm. One can hope. [hasn't forgotten she's a healer, but it never crosses his mind to ask for help - he has no money and no influence and no faith in anyone] ...enjoyed your h-holiday? Do yuh-your kind celebrate?

[vid forever because she knows how to press very few buttons on this thing still.]

[liadrin]

We do celebrate Winter Veil but...not today. Not this year.
[She cannot see him of course, but his coughing and stuttering has her curious.]

Tell me, are you ill?

[fff so cute]

[is_fear_itself]

Why not?

[guardedly]

No. I ..fell. [oh god that was terrible.] --it's none of your business.

[chronosyoudidnt]

Then what is your idea of a holiday not wasted?

voice

[is_fear_itself]

All Hallow's.

Joy fuh-fades in a week... Trauma--endures for years.

voice

[chronosyoudidnt]

[ Pause. ]

Well, it doesn't have to.

voice

[is_fear_itself]

[coughs, dryly] Pray, enluh-lighten me.

voice

[osreborn]

Pessimist, or defeatist?

voice

[is_fear_itself]

Neither. Both.

Trying to keep the--maudlin displays in check.

voice

[osreborn]

At least you are trying. But then, what does it matter? The way is wasted already. Tomorrow this conversation will be just a memory as well.

voice

[is_fear_itself]

[hesitates, thinking he can't very well admit he's just bitching to feel better] Granted.

Perhaps... some memories're more useful than others.

[ Amused. ]

Someone sounds a bit worse for wear.

voice;

[caststwoshadows]

Please.

Laugh.

voice;

[implemented]

[ He does so, albeit lightly. ]

If you insist, Lord and Lady.

voice;

[caststwoshadows]

And I do.

[bet_on_bolton]

I didn't waste my christmas!

I hope you had a good one, even if you are totally wasted, dude.

[voice]

[is_fear_itself]

Even so... it remains gone, Troy. [mumbles] Mh, mine was - the usual. [not the first Xmas he's spent with injuries, anyway] I don't celebrate.

[voice]

[bet_on_bolton]

You didn't spend it with any friends or families?

[voice]

[is_fear_itself]

Not having any... makes that harder'n you'd think.
