I'll assume that any fine print coming along with this bit of charity will arise in time. Unless someone's traced the source of the gratuitous amounts of money floating around here and there, I'll also assume that there is no need to offer thanks. You're free to correct me if there is a confirmed source

[He takes a long time to collect himself before speaking.]

I am available tomorrow.

[piracyinpink]

Than nothing at all.

[mentis_reae]

No knowledge, you mean?

[piracyinpink]

Mm. [closing her eyes for a few seconds.] Better to have you looking shabby than not being around at all.

[mentis_reae]

[piracyinpink]

[a faint chuckle.] Selfishly speaking. I know there are better places to be, so don't mind me too much.

[mentis_reae]

Well. I'd sooner be alive than...

[Hurting other people. But it's not appropriate to bring that up.]

Otherwise.

[piracyinpink]

Of course.

[mentis_reae]

Quite.

[piracyinpink]

[her expression washes into something pained for a moment before she sucks in a breath and lets it out in a sigh, frowning at the screen.]

You should get some sleep.

[mentis_reae]

[He shakes his head.]

It's still early.

[piracyinpink]

What do you have to keep you up?

[mentis_reae]

Ah...Research.

[piracyinpink]

[frowning faintly. she wants to tell him to make it wait, but...grah.] Mm. Alright. [a pause.]

I have to go for now, though. I'll see you tomorrow.

[mentis_reae]

Indeed.

[piracyinpink]

[she nods a little, pushing a smile on and saluting farewell before signing off.]
