... collected stuff that represented every family in a magic school and held hands with Gingham while talking about journeys and stuff.

[shadowgraphics]

. . . that doesn't seem too bad. I think I'd survive.

[restitui]

It probably worked because we were extra sappy.

[shadowgraphics]

Gross.

[in a flat, but joking tone]

[restitui]

Very.

[ Cheerfully. ]

I think I almost heard you make a joke.

[shadowgraphics]

You must be hearing things.

[restitui]

Must be... Actually, I should tell you something. It can wait.

[ can it. ]

Anyway. We'd have to drag him along - Gingham, I mean, because I promised not to do something I know might be stupid without him.

[ that's not the exact wording, but it's how he takes it. ]

[shadowgraphics]

[tilts his head]

So he . . . wants to do something potentially stupid with you?

[restitui]

Y..yes?

[ a beat. ]

As in, like we'd rather be there if one of us is doing something that might hurt the other...? Especially after the fire thing and the ocean thing.

[shadowgraphics]

I guess that makes sense.

[he doesn't get it but why would he, with his negative relationship experience]

I wouldn't mind if he wanted to come along, though.

[restitui]

[ he looks a little amused and nods ]

If we ever do something that's stupid, I'll make sure to pass on the invitation.

[ ... ] Speaking of, not like stupid but - sometimes people get lost and wind up in places like the subway as well? Goose did a while back for a few days.


[ brocade throwing him through the floor helped with that, he's not gonna say that part ]

[shadowgraphics]

Ah . . . I knew people get lost, apparently Cashmere was for a couple of days. He didn't mention the subway, though.

[restitui]

Yeah, I've never gotten lost like that, but I know when Goose did he found this.

[ he shifts for his bag and pulls out a bell to offer it to him. ]

If you ring it, the sound like... goes away and you can't ring it again?

[shadowgraphics]

That's . . . strange. He found it in the subway?

[restitui]

Yeah. I'm not sure what he saw down there, but he didnt seem bothered. I asked Wilhelm if it was his and it's not.

[shadowgraphics]

Huh. But it belongs to someone from the Disorder?

[restitui]

It might, but if it did they would have responded when we went into the Family Room.

They didn't so it's probably something to figure out on the rest of the ship.

[shadowgraphics]

Maybe it's one of the ones we have yet to find, then.

Have you tried ringing it elsewhere?

[restitui]

Just in the lobby area?

[shadowgraphics]

Ahh. Are you going to test it in other places, then?

[restitui]

... It wouldn't hurt to do.

[shadowgraphics]

[nods a bit]

If what you said is right, it's just a matter of finding the right place.

[restitui]

... and do you want to try finding it? The right place, I mean.

[shadowgraphics]

Me?

[shrugs a shoulder] Sure, I'd come along.

[restitui]

You!

[ said as little cheerfully ]

You're the one suggesting it, so you must be at least a little interrsted, right?
