[ nods. ]

Should do him some good to see you're not too much worse for wear.

[ he thinks about giving basilio a heads up about what's coming... but maybe it's better if he doesn't know to expect it. won't spend his time stewing in anxiety until then that way. ]

[nterwebz]

I hope so.

[ ... ]

You guys are keeping warm, yeah?

[fending]

Sure. We got heat here, and we're not over susceptible to cold besides.

[ he doesn't like it, but he can deal. far from the worst they've had. (actually, after weeks with a fever on a stiflingly hot island, it's kind of refreshing, though the novelty will probably wane pretty quickly.) ]

You?

[nterwebz]

I'm managing. I was thinking about cold weather clothes. It doesn't seem like they're going to be the easiest thing to get now. Did you stock up before things went to hell?

[fending]

Got a few things the other day, but wouldn't call it stockin' up.

[ they'd had to go shopping to replace some bloodstained clothes. ]

Not in bad shape far as food goes, at least.

[nterwebz]

Good. I know there's more of you over there and the locals aren't exactly thrilled with how things went down yesterday. 'M not sure how long 'til they let us shop again.

[ And that's... hmm. ]

You wouldn't happen to know you and Bas' measurements, would you? [ No reason. ]

[fending]

Why, you a seamstress or somethin'?

[nterwebz]

Somethin' like that.

[ Better, actually. She's a spider. ]

[fending]

[ ?? seems like a weird thing to be vague about. ]

Kind of a yes or no question, innit? 'Less you're talkin' about knitting or some such.

[nterwebz]

[ ... ]

I weave, too.

[ Couldn't just let her have it, could you, Fidelio? ]

[fending]

[ not his style. ]

...Right.

[ he doesn't get it, but what's the worst she can do with their measurements? waste her time making some ugly thing he'll never wear?

...well. actually that would be pretty bad; he's going to feel like they owe her after this mess already. he really doesn't want that debt to get any bigger. ]

I'd rather you didn't put all that effort in for us, actually.

[ given... everything. ]

But... s'pose I can write 'em down for you at some point if you decide you're dead set on it.

[nterwebz]

'M dead set on it and you'd be doing me a favor.

[ She can admit that much. She is. ]

It'll help me get my head on straight while I figure out where to go from here since my best lead turned to dust. If you decide you like what I make, I'll charge you... nothing. Aren't you supposed to be teaching me about your tribe so I don't act a fool? I'll take that as payment if it bothers you.

[fending]

[ ...sighs. ]

All right. If that's what you want, fair enough.

[nterwebz]

Send 'em over today and I'll get started. Maybe a break from class today, though? Senpai.

[fending]

[ he has no idea what she just called him and it's visible on his face, but he doesn't care enough to ask right now. ]

Eh. Already got a bit of a lesson in today anyway.

[ certainly wasn't the plan, but she does know a little more than before, at least. ]

I'll slide 'em under the door later.

[nterwebz]

Okay. Try to get a little rest, yeah?

[fending]

[ it kind of feels like that should be his line instead... or, well, someone in his position, anyway. too far out of character for him.

he gives her a sceptical look for a second, then looks away and shakes his head. ]

Worry 'bout yourself first.

[ ...and he disconnects. ]
