[ he's a mess but he likes you. how can you just abandon the poor rat??? ]
When you fell--I didn't--I think I started to think of you as the new invincible one. Too necessary for us to survive losing. Not 'us'--me. Because... you're. You know. A friend. Of mine. Right?
[ you'd think he'd be smoother with all the fantasy weed but all it does is make affection week even louder inside him. ]
[ oh this is embarrassing for you. he does not say this but he does think it, and he turns a little red at the ears. is. is temenos mistral flustered. nodd’s just out here using the f word!!!! Embarrassing!!!. ]
I’m hardly invincible. [ this is like the first response he manages after a beat. jeez. sincerity! Believe it or not… it’s a weak point! ]…but, yes. Friends.
[ embarrassing ] I’m sure that many people felt quite the same about you last week, you know.
[ mortifying. no wonder you and dion got along you both just say things.
anyway. temenos is going to duck past him and the smoke to go check on his laundry and also restore his dignity. ]
A good healer looks at everyone. [ like him or something. ] At any rate, we were luckier off. My hands are already healing well enough, so all the better for it.
[ a little more than metis, anyway - though, he's right. temenos has fought dragons before, so that really wouldn't have been any different. though... ]
... All the same, I hope that it was closure, for you. If nothing else.

So it's good you didn't fall... permanently.

Good. Friends. [ fwends ]
You don't gotta fluff my ego. They were looking at Yuri. I'm okay with it. [ starts waving any lingering smoke toward a vent. ]

Almost feels like we should have changed places. Maybe you would've been more help against Dion. I don't fall normal.
[ as seen during dion's execution, given a chance, a bitch will float down like a feather ]
