Who: Cole
Broadcast: Fleetwide (because he doesn't get the 'private' setting)
Action: A shuttle from the Pathstone which is currently out on its own
When: Two days after this broadcast and minutes after this exchange on the Red Fish.

OOC: This post has potential cw: self harm, suicide, murder, and other self destructive things. Please use discretion.

[The broadcast shows Cole's face, too close to the camera, tear streaked and eyes red rimmed and looking the very model of misery and distress. His voice is a cracked whisper.]

Fenris? I need to see you. I need you to do what Cassandra would've and I know you will. Can.

Oh.

Would that help you?

[dancingmd]

[Her brow furrows.]

Help me?

[killedwithlove]

Yes. Would us keeping on talking help you?

[dancingmd]

I don't... I want to help you.

[killedwithlove]

You can't help me. This above all, do no harm.

[dancingmd]

[She takes a deep breath.]

Do you not want me here?

[killedwithlove]

...

[He cants his head.]

No.

[dancingmd]

[She nods. Normally it'd take more than that for her to give in, but she knows Riona is on her way. He won't be left alone, not really, and she's worried she'll only upset him further.]

All right. Just... Can you promise me you won't do anything until you talk to Riona?

[killedwithlove]

I won't do anything without talking to Riona.

[Dutifully intoned, but he means it.]

[dancingmd]

Thank you.

[Pause.]

And please know I do care about you.

[killedwithlove]

... thank you. I know you do. I know it any time you're near.

[And he disconnects.]
