Hello. Thank you for calling, and I'm sorry I wasn't here to answer.

That guy?

[ The knifey guy? Yeah, she remembers him, goodness. Words cannot express how glad she is not to have a roommate like that. ]

I wasn't sure he actually meant it.
Why would he broadcast that sort of thing all over the network if he were really going to do it?

[skittering]

dunno.

stabbed klaus once already though

[lethechained]

What?

[ If she knew how to use itallics, that word would deserve them. She certainly typed it fast enough - faster than she usually does, at least. It could probably use some exclamation points, too, but one must make allowances for her lack of texting expertise. ]

Has anyone done something about it?

[skittering]

i'm building a house

❰ that feels like doing something about it. ❱

[lethechained]

I meant something more immediate

[ She doesn't even remember the period this time, she's too preoccupied. Except then she gets preoccupied about how that's... definitely a Thing which Lalli is doing and by the sound of it it's a good one, so. ]

But maybe moving out is for the best.
You're very kind to look after him that way.

[skittering]

like what? can't fight him

not directly anyway. with magic maybe

don't really want to try

❰ somehow, this girl has successfully engaged him into an actual multi-sentence conversation, what a miracle. ❱

i'm not trying to be kind. just don't want him dead

[lethechained]

I don't think that any of you should fight him.

[ That would definitely not be her first choice for a course of action. Even if they won, it's liable to make things worse in the long run. Honestly she can imagine a lot of things that would only end up being worse in the long run, but then again, optimism has never been her strong suit. ]

Is there nowhere else in Tyr's house that Klaus could stay?
Another room that isn't full maybe.

[ But would that be enough to pacify Knifey McBadRoommate? Naminé has her misgivings, considering his aggression in the first place. ]

Not wanting someone dead is usually pretty nice.
Unless you have some other reason for keeping him alive.

[ Lalli hasn't really struck her as the 'sinister ulterior motives' type. ]

[skittering]

the viking can walk into the other room just as easily.

house is the best plan we've got

[lethechained]

Yes
But he might have fewer reasons to.

[ Honestly that whole thing is one big pit of psychological weirdness. Clearly that guy has some funny ideas about how to keep himself safe - or maybe he's just a sadist, who knows. In any case, Naminé's not informed enough to say anything for certain. That doesn't stop her, however, from mulling the situation over for a few moments. It's sticky, not knowing more. Still, there is one thing she can say for certain. ]

If it happens again
if he gets stabbed or hurt that is
I might be able to help.

[skittering]

help how?

❰ klaus can heal it himself, but lalli asks regardless. call it curiosity. ❱

[lethechained]

[ Naminé's not aware of Klaus' ability to help himself, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned, ]

I can heal people.
Small wounds that is.
I don't know about big ones.

[ So, you know, only mild stabbings? ]

[skittering]

❰ it's interesting, though. klaus and naminé are spoken for by different gods, and yet they seem to have the same sort of magic. ❱

what does it look like when you use it?

are there moths

[lethechained]

[ -- Ah. That's quite a surprise, indeed. ]

One. I thought it was a butterfly.
How did you know?

[ A beat; belatedly, as if to clarify, ]

But another time I used it it was a bird instead.

[ Honestly she hadn't been trying to make it look like anything specific, it just sort of... happened however it happened. Her subconscious might have been involved, considering she'd been in different places each time. ]

[skittering]

klaus has moths when he heals

was it a bird on purpose?

[lethechained]

That's fascinating.

[ Not sarcastic; she's genuinely really curious about this all now, because now it's crossing her mind as well that they've surely got different deities sponsoring them and that's-- weird, isn't it? ]

No. I wasn't thinking about what it should look like, I was just trying to help.
Does he make his moths on purpose?

[skittering]

dunno. didn't ask

❰ helpful, lalli. very helpful. ❱

[lethechained]

I suppose you didn't have any reason to at the time.

[ Perfectly reasonable, as far as she's concerned. The focus of her eyes shifts as she considers the situation, then zones back in a few moments later when she realizes her fingers are still hovering over the keys. ]

Maybe if I show you my magic some time, you can tell me if it seems like the same thing as what Klaus can do.

[skittering]

okay

❰ ......... ❱

only if someone needs it. not worth hurting yourself for

❰ he can't tell if she's the type who'd do so just for a demonstration, so it's worth the caveat. ❱

[lethechained]

[ There's a weird little sinking feeling in her stomach at the mere suggestion; surely he didn't think she'd...? Well, the logical part of her brain says it would be more efficient, and yet-- ]

I know.

It might be simpler to do that than to wait for something to happen to someone else but
it wouldn't be right to hurt someone just so that I can heal them.
Not even if it's me.
