[ Their head was scrambled to begin with unfortunately. But they just try to.. focus, brows furrowing. ]

..Kinda. There's... too many memories. Jumbled. But I remember.. heaven. I think.

[ Their hand holds their head a little, pained. ]

[outdistanced]

Don't hurt yourself trying.

[ it sounds snide in text format but he's actually kinder to siffrin about it than he would be for some others. ]

I'm sure you'll have plenty of people interrogating you guys already. I'm just glad you came back alive. [ he is so afraid that someone won't one of these days. ] Do you need anything?

[punnier]

[ A nod, it's okay because honestly if it was snide in tone Siffrin would have been just as comforted and reassured by it. It's familiar? But they just idly rub at their arms, pinching a little. Like one does to stay awake.

The interrogating.. yeah. Most is fussing, but they mostly seem tired. Though they frown a little at that mention. ] ..We technically didn't though. We died.

[ Looks at heaven... ] ..Which, I guess makes sense.

[ To die and go to 'heaven' again. At the offer, they shake their head, even though their voice sounds incredibly raspy. ] I'm okay. Thank you though, Laurence.

[outdistanced]

You... what? [ that's a new one ):

also when he hears the raspy voice he's going to pause and get them some water in case that will help. ]

That's even more reason for you guys to take it easy, then.

[punnier]

It's okay, it was our decision.

[ That! Is probably not at all reassuring! And doesn't make things better, but in their headspace, if it was better that than whatever other options they had apparently. But they're here and.. alive? Ish again. So that's probably more important.

They will accept the water, appreciative. Murmuring a quiet thanks and they.. nod. ]

I will. I just.. don't want to be away from them for too long, is all.

[outdistanced]

I can believe that from Yves, but... all of you?

I'm better they'll want to stick close, too, so I don't think you'll have to worry about that. Just... wherever you guys go, take a bunch of blankets and pillows, too, so you can at least try and get comfortable for tonight.

[punnier]

..Is it that surprising?

[ Said with some confusion. Only Yves.. but not the rest of them? They don't quite understand. ]

Yeah. We will. [ sees laurence at curfew later ]

[outdistanced]

I thought some of you had a little more self-preservation.

[ be nice?? ]

[punnier]

Mm, Marcoh and Jiaoqiu probably do...

[ Doesn't even pretend to include themselves. ]

..But. None of us were going to agree on leaving it up to one person.

[outdistanced]

Not you, though?

[ hm. ]

I still don't see why anyone should've had to die...

[punnier]

..No. I value protecting those I care about more.

[ There's something there, a reason why but.. they continue on. ]

It was.. just the situation we ended up in. I don't know if there was a way to change what happened, if we could have.. found another way, but it's how it ended up.

[outdistanced]

[ there's a vaguely curious, mostly concerned look on his face when they say that. but now doesn't feel like the right time to ask. even if part of him kind of wants to argue about it,,, ]

I doubt they'd do something that dangerous if it could be avoided... Still, that just means you guys have to take it easy from now on. At least until you're healed up. So let me know if there's anything I can help with, alright?

[punnier]

[ Sorry Laurence, you can fight about it later though. I believe in him. ]

Mm, if I could use my healing craft I'd manage that but. Until then, we'll take it easy. [ As for asking for help... unfortunately, Siffrin is terrible at doing that even if he seems like he's agreeing. ] I'll keep it in mind. Thanks, Laurence.
