Does seem a bit crazier than usual, doesn't it? Maybe it's what happened with the queens before? Maybe that's it.

I feel bad thinking about hiding but I'm not up for it, Gren. But that's wrong. I have magic, I should be helping others.

[oneagainstall]

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe something fucked up whatever balance exists in this place, to begin with. Maybe it happened when the Queen of Hearts died.

Don't you feel bad, not for a fucking second. Better you do that than get yourself killed. You've been through literal hell. You're allowed to tap out, once in a while.

[twirlier]

Something is off, that's for sure. I wish I thought we could fix it before we end up all being expelled from this place.

Thank you. I'm not sure I'm sure of that, so thank you for telling me that. I needed to hear it.

[oneagainstall]

I dunno Misty. I sometimes think this place is way beyond fixing.

Good. Glad to have said it. Typed it. Whatever. Anyway I'll be better off in that mess knowing you're somewhere safe.

[twirlier]

If it's beyond fixing, it might go away. I don't want that, Gren. I can't have that happen.

[ If they lose Wonderland, they lose one another, and the thought is weighing heavily on her as of late. ]

I promise. I'll stay safe. Normally, you know me, but I've lost you once already. I'm not ready to do it again.

[oneagainstall]

Fair point. Guess it can remain it's regular shitty self and cling on to existence.

[He doesn't like the idea, either. He's torn, between the life he has home and the one he has here. How are you supposed to want something when another has just as much value? How are you supposed to make peace that, eventually, one will likely win out over the other- and what would he chose, if that time ever came?]

Good. I'll be safe too- try not to do anything that might kill me. Ain't a big list, so you can breathe easy.

[She can't they both know she can't. Gren's not one of lying, but he'll edge around the truth this once for her. To try and make it easier to swallow. ]

[twirlier]

I'm sorry. I am. I know I'm being selfish. A lot of people here want to go home, and I shouldn't be crying about it going away.

[ Because she does know that Gren has never been certain about staying, and she knows she should want Holly back for him. It's all the rest waiting for him that makes her sad.]

I love you, Gren. Just please, don't let whatever it is get the better of you.

[ She knows him too well. She knows the emotions and temperament that he keeps in check so often. A chance to work that out, and she knows he'll take it. Even if he'll come back, she just isn't ready for him to die. Not yet. Not again. ]

[oneagainstall]

You're still entilted to your feelings, no matter what anyone else says.

[Torn as he may be, he believes she has every right to not want this place to go- she might not have to go to hell any more, but she's still got the end of the world to face. ]

Love you too. Do my best not to lose my head.

[He can't promise he won't at all, but he can promise to try.]
