that's better than my ass. where do I meet you?

[pathologise]

i can do the blood draw at either of our apartments if you didn't want to come to the hospital
but if you did i could do the testing too

[unbreachable]

...if we could make it quick. i avoid hospitals whenever possible.

[pathologise]

my place then
i can run it over later
and i'll let you know what we do from there

[unbreachable]

okay, sounds like a plan then.

[ anything to not die at this point, he guesses. ]

[pathologise]

there are options
even if i can't do anything medically
we'll have information
and if a magic healer can use that to help
we'll do something

[unbreachable]

it's still really weird to me that there's real 'magic' here.

though I guess it shouldn't be all that out there. We have giant monsters coming out of the pacific, so...

[pathologise]

i should ask about giant monsters
but i don't know that i want to

[unbreachable]

they were pretty horrible, obviously incredibly destructive. but also, real life godzilla. my brother and i thought we were hot shit when we passed through the academy and got our jaeger.

[pathologise]

sounds like the reputation you hear about a lot of pilots
you're more than just hot shit
i actually like you
my world had magic in it
i tried to know as little as possible about it
now with everything here it feels like the wrong decision
even if for home it was the right one

[unbreachable]

well...you make choices, and deal with the consequences. what's right for everyone else isn't always right for you. if it was the right choice at home, then that's it. here's different, you know? i bet you could learn if you want. and if you don't that's fine too

sorry im not lecturing i just

know a little bit about making a choice that i felt was right at the time. i'm the reason my brother's dead but im also the reason ten people on that stupid fishing boat didn't die.

[pathologise]

i know something about those choices
the hardest ones to make are the hardest to live with
but being able to help other people is a worthwhile decision
i'm sorry about your brother

[unbreachable]

yeah. it's been a long five years. i don't think he would regret it but i do. he was a good guy. [ Raleigh's entire focal point, he's been completely lost without him ever since. ]

but we couldn't just leave that boat full of people to die.

[pathologise]

do you want to talk about what happened?

[unbreachable]

maybe not yet.

but I will, eventually

[pathologise]

i'm here if you do
or for anything

[unbreachable]

thank you, that's really nice of you

and thanks for offering to poke me too

[pathologise]

i wish my poking was as enjoyable as yours
😘

[ slkdjf ]

HA

Yeah, needles are unfortunately not one of my kinks.

[pathologise]

nor mine
but i'll make it up to you
