#018 // Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse

[Drake's handwriting is still a little choppy, but much steadier than yesterday.]

...

The Sphere seems to delight in flinging curveballs at all of us. This one was at least less impactful than yesterday's...marginally.

Raise? You feeling all right? Apparently the Sphere is into a lot of sharing within fairly close relationships right now...

Then I suppose you fare well enough that I may get out of your hair. Do stay out of trouble.

[distant_dragon]

I'll do my best. I'd tell you to do likewise but we all know you're incapable of it.

...thank you.

[flenceburgsbest]

You know be far too well. ♥

It was the least I could do for a friend.

[distant_dragon]

It isn't like I haven't known you since the day I showed up here or anything.

It means a lot.

Handwriting is careful and precise

[moonlit_mirage]

Are you alright Drake?

[distant_dragon]

[There is a long pause before small, neat words come in reply.]

I think I will be.

You?

[moonlit_mirage]

I shall be fine, thank you.

[subject_e0057]

Yes, I'm fine. Are you... Are you doing alright? I'm glad you're doing better than yesterday.

...Oh. Is it now.

[distant_dragon]

I am...still shaky, but better than yesterday. Thank you for putting up with me.

You told me enough about it to make it possible for me to recognize it.

[subject_e0057]

If you need it, then I don't have to be done putting up with you. Take your time in finding your footing.

....I apologize for it.

[distant_dragon]

I'll need more time off to get my bearings, hearing that he got my dream was a bit of an additional blow. Still though...thank you for staying.

Don't. You had to deal with mine. I think Praise was right; it grants some additional insight.

[felinemystique]

Tell me about it. I feel like I'm walking around with my shoulders hunched waiting for the next blow.

You seem better than yesterday--I'm glad to see it.

[distant_dragon]

If it wasn't for the fact that I know I can't write in sick for the rest of the week, I would. But I can't.

I am. A good night's sleep helped. Thank you for everything, by the way.

[felinemystique]

I don't think we've gotten a break since the hurricane hit.

You're welcome, kiddo.
