No, she thought she'd curfew somewhere else.
[gideon says, pulling harrow closer to her. at least she can still do sarcasm, that's fun.
hex the bone hand hops off of gideon's shoulder to wander over to thancred, and stands on his leg. hello. he is checking to see if your injuries have been dealt with.]

...But not Ryne.
[He doesn't find that really surprising, honestly, but it's one of those things that's entrenched in his thoughts far enough that he almost has to keep asking, just to be sure.
Kind of like, Nav, can you still hear me, are you still there.]
...Ah. Hex.

No. Not Ryne. She's not here. Harrow wasn't where we were, either.
[she says that so, so firmly. she has no way of knowing for sure, but she will tell him as many times as he needs to hear it.
hex waves an index finger. he really does seem like he's inspecting bandages like he knows what he's doing.]

[He shakes his head, very slightly, but positioned like this it telegraphs his dissent well enough, as he mumbles: ]
For last week. M'so sorry. I hurt you.
[There's an odd tone to the way he's saying it, a sort of tired, understated urgency. Like he's not sure if he'll get another chance to, if he lets this one go by now.]
Didn't make it up to you enough.

Thancred-- Thancred, don't, you don't have to--
[he swallows hard, eyes shut for a moment as he shakes his head. there's something that unsettles him about the urgency, the reminder that it might in fact be the last chance he has to say it. it makes him want to hear it less.]
...don't worry about that right now. You're here.
[that's the important part. he almost did something stupid last week, but didn't. he went somewhere dangerous, and came back alive.]

[if hex could roll his eyes he would do that.
instead, he reaches with his finger and taps thancred like, there there. you're still pretty.
on the other side of the... couch? idk where they are. gideon snorts out a laugh.]

I didn't jump in the way. Any of this.
[This, too, seems important to convey. Almost pleadingly. Half-asleep, he knows how farfetched it might seem, but he tries anyway.]
Not because I risked myself. I didn't.
[Is it better or worse, discovering that none of the injuries he's sporting were ones he took that were intended for someone else?]

[yeah!
though if she heard any of what he said to rynlan about how none of his injuries were from jumping in front of people, you can bet that she scrunches up into a ball and pulls the blankets over herself, so like, pros and cons.]

[HE WAS ON HIS BEST BEHAVIOR which is why the problem is the actual source of those injuries.
it's fine she's going to pretend she's asleep! haha. everything is fine.]
