Wh, what are you doing!

[ she swats at his hand!

his hand will be covered with dirty soot for doing this. the good news is it's not like. burning or anything. it's like body temperature at most. ]

[situationship]

Trying to stop your little anxiety chimney habit.

[ He'll retract his hand and brush off the soot, though. ]

[sootprints]

If it were that easy to stop, I would have done it already!

[situationship]

Maybe not staring at the posters would help.

[ A sigh when he looks over to the posters. ]

We were having a lot of fun a couple of days ago...

[sootprints]

... Yes. It feels very sudden.

Did something happen? With Aventurine or Death, or... maybe the cult caught on to something.

[situationship]

I'm not surprised one of us went out... We knew about the sacrifices they were planning to make.

[ Ruffles his own hair a bit, pensive. ]

Death's a surprise. I don't like that.

[sootprints]

I thought the sacrifices were supposed to come later...

[ ... ]

I don't like it, either.

[situationship]

Looks like the plans changed and it could be a gradual thing.

[ Hmm. ]

That or there's the other idea—said something wrong to the wrong person and got murdered. [ Crosses his arms. ] But logically that's stupid.

[sootprints]

It is stupid. But is it possible?

[situationship]

... Always.
