[camena]

Sure.

I'll get through it, I mean. [ she's like - not okay? but she's not dead and that's... something. ]

You?

[bindings]

[hmm... if alex will allow it, shenhe rests a hand on her shoulder.]

I'm fine. I'm not upset. [she's very honest, even if it'd probably be better not to be.]

[camena]

[ she will allow it. it's comforting. and shenhe's words aren't actually too alarming, since like - at least alex has some context knowing that shenhe was raised by immortals. that seems like a thing that could make you less emotional about this sort of thing.

or more? but whatever. ]

Oh, uh... Huh. You didn't know him?

[bindings]

No. [she did not. she appreciates that alex doesn't get mad, honestly.] He seemed nice, but I only spoke to him once.

[camena]

I didn't get a chance to talk to him at all. But that's what I've been hearing - that he was nice.

[bindings]

[silence, for a long moment.]

That may have been his undoing.

[camena]

Or maybe whoever did it just went for whoever was around. We don't know.

[bindings]

We don't. [she agrees easily enough.] We may find out tomorrow.

[camena]

We will. We have to.

Whoever did it can tell us why.
