[ nodding... eupha feels a little guilty to see such a personal conversation for someone who would probably be The Most Upset if he knew he was being watched. but there's relief, too, to see the both of them as they always were. ]

It sounded as though he did not mean for it to be brought up... much like what happened to all of us last week.

[boxcar]

I was thinking the same. It doesn't sound like something Brimstone would talk about so long ago.

[ This sounds like something he'd sooner blow himself up w0 than discuss with anyone that fast. ]

Wherever they are, do you think they were also being thrown into the funhouse?

[trifocal]

That's so strange... It does sound that way. And Charlie even said they are still in Heaven.

Could it be that they have been closer to us than we thought?

[boxcar]

Then... that is a good sign, isn't it?

They don't sound different than how I remember them, mostly. For being "lost", they sound pretty whole.

[trifocal]

They do!

[ there is some sincere joy in that. ]

Charlie is as she always was, extending a helping hand to others. How it warms my heart to see.

[boxcar]

You're right.

[ Even he manages to give a half-smile for this. ]

Good thing we looked here. I'm sure there will be plenty of people happy to hear about this.

[trifocal]

They surely will be! I must tell the brothers. And Jiaoqiu will be glad to hear news of Brimstone...

[ oh, but before she gets too far ahead of herself, she'll look to marcoh with gratitude. ]

... I must thank you, for coming here with me.

[boxcar]

I think Jiaoqiu would get some relief, yes.

[ He blinks at her at the gratitude. There's a soft blanket of polite fondness for Euphausia, with a small stem of guilt underneath, but also gratefulness returned nonetheless. ]

It's no trouble, it was a good decision.

[ Oh, but. Looks at this rupee. ]

... Did you want this?

[trifocal]

The gemstone? It does look very lovely, but are you sure? It seems as though you are always giving, and so rarely keep anything for yourself...

[boxcar]

I don't feel strongly about it. If you were more interested than I am, I think it'd be better for it to go to someone who appreciates it better.

[trifocal]

Well... if you are sure, then I will accept it.

[ with feelings of fondness, appreciation, and a little guilt. ]

[boxcar]

I am.

[ His unsure feelings give way to some mild relief.

You found 10 rupees!!! Victory fanfare 2. ]

[trifocal]

[ the green rupees are worth 1...... why did cola do this ]

You are quite the reliable exploration partner. I am glad that I came out here with you.

[boxcar]

[ Shit you're right. Me assigning this thing any worth... ]

If you are ever in need of someone to explore and search with, I am willing to go.
