[ Text stops there and it seems that is all there is, until a moment later another message appears - typed considerably slower than the first, as though typing with one hand. ]

[Clearly it wasn't good if she's calling for a medic, but she's still alive so it could be worse. Still, he has to wonder what's made her go do a stupid thing. He knows himself well enough to know he does stupid things for one of two reasons: for the sake of others, or to drown out his own problems. Since she's being cagey about it, he suspects the latter.]

I've got just the thing. I'll have the bottle out when you get here. The bar's empty right now, too, so no need to worry there.

Well, except for Drools. But he doesn't count.

[Yes Wolfe brings his dog to work.]

[ Whatever it was she is certainly not going to admit to it, not yet, besides it is hardly the point right now is it? Gotta focus on the more immediate problem being the unpleasant state her arms and side are in. ]

youre the best you know that
well you and tyrion you guys can fight it out over who is better
best

wait
no
drools is the best second only to dog nevemrind

I take offense to that
so does Drools
Drools is the finest mabari in the fleet and he challenges Dog to a tug-o-war on a knotted rope in defense of his title
three days hence on the Iskaulit
the gauntlet has been thrown my good woman

or whatever a dog would throw
rawhide
ball
something

[Hopefully that makes her laugh.]

[ It does, and it hurts a little, but he gets points for that. ]

very well dog and i accept this challenge
kindly get ready to lose horribly
for there is none in the sector of the galaxy who can outmatch dog
he is hte superior tug-o-war beast

Only if you prepare to eat those words ;)

[After a moment.]

That looks sort of naughty with the winking smile on there
Entirely not what I meant
eww
maybe I shouldn't use faces

Either way, the booze will be poured to the glory of whatever stupid thing you did in a bit
We got this new whiskey on planet that's nice and burny

wait
wait
waiiiiit
thats a smile

wolfe wolfe you need to teach me
those smiles and faces
please
it is really important

these are great
you are the best have i said that already
because you are the best wolfe

I try.
I mean, anything for family, right?

it's alright to call you that isn't it?

[ That gives her pause, makes her hold her breath and her eyes widen. Family. He kinda is, isn't he? Technically seeing that they are the same person, right? The same blood flows through their veins, they share the same features - hell you could call them twins if you wanted to. Maybe she shouldn't give it a second thought, just smile and accept what is practically already there.

She misses having a brother, misses Carver more than she can properly express. Misses those who aren't present, the people who became her family when she was left with nothing else. It wouldn't hurt, would it? He's probably feeling the same, or at least something similar, which is why he asked in the first place.

It hurts but she curls into herself, wounds flaring angrily, and rests her forehead on top of her knees. She'd make for a pathetic sight right now, arm and side burnt, clothes charred, hair a mess. Makes her glad that he can't see her, nor hear the tremor she'd undoubtedly have in her voice. Wouldn't be able to live if down if he heard.

Her reply comes a few moments later, short and sweet: ]

yeah

[ Don't mess this one up. ]

Great!
C:

[He'd sent it too quickly, giving away entirely that he'd been basically staring at the screen until she'd replied instead of working like he's supposed to be doing. He hadn't been sure he should send it, should ask outright what he'd felt about her from the start. She's so much like him, so much like Bethany. She just fits in a way he can't describe. Makes his missing Carver sharper but also more bearable.

He just has to somehow not come off as too weird or eager or... himself. No, he'll be himself just not the him that gets in his own way. He's tried this already, trying to let her know that he's here for her, that she can talk to him, that he's going to have her back like a brother should. This time feels more like it might stick, and he wonders if Carver ever had to try this hard with Bethany or if their twin hivemind thing they could do where they finished each others sentences and somehow knew each others wicked schemes without talking just happened.

He wonders if they'll be like that, then decides that's a thought that Adalwolfe who gets in his own way would have and shoves it aside. Just let it be.]

healer gotten to you yet?
