[BELATED - but she's just going to perk up!!!]

Спасибо! [she says as she just fucking hops over carefully on one leg - both feetsies have heels, so it sure has been a time] Thank you, Hunter!

Your leg next?

[she'll help him!]

[counterclocked]

Oh - that's really nice of you to offer.

[He establishes that first, looking honestly grateful. As he goes on, though, he looks a little bit sheepish.]

It's not really around, but Peach said it'll probably come back tomorrow at the latest. So, it's all good.

[constellates]

[p

pause]

... Come back? Leg went on trip?

[THAT'S EVEN MORE CONCERNING THAN NORMAL]

[counterclocked]

Uh... Yeah, you could say that!

[This explains nothing.]

But like I said, it's pretty temporary. Peach helped me find stuff I could use as crutches, too, so it's all good. [...] Speaking of which, though, I'd totally bend over and grab your foot, but I don't really have a way to not fall if I do that, so...

[constellates]

Oh - Anya will!

[and she doesn't have much trouble with that - hop hop hopping over on one foot, then managing her balance as she goes to retrieve her other leggy by the sock]

Mm... Помогал. I am happy you found help. Do you know why leg is gone...?

[counterclocked]

Thanks.

[He sounds grateful once again as he moves the cue stick to free the sock. Once she has it:]

Oh, yeah. It got stolen by something straight out of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

[He says, far too casually.]

[constellates]

Like book?!

[shE IS NOT CASUAL ABOUT IT]

[counterclocked]

Yeah. Although it wasn't really a squid... Loch Ness monster doesn't really fit it, though, either.

[please stop]

Oh, but I'm not hurt or anything, so - you know.

[constellates]

[mmmmMMMMMM

she doesn't look convinced]

You were not scared....?

[counterclocked]

[He pauses for a moment, giving a small shrug.]

I mean - maybe while it was happening. But I'm okay, so there's nothing to really be scared of right now, is there? [It's said sincerely enough, and he follows it up with:] Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

[constellates]

[she shakes her head and feels like she needs to clarify - ]

Anya is not scared for Anya.

Anya is scared for Hunter. Please do not be hurt.

[counterclocked]

[For a moment, he looks surprised by that, even touched - but then he nods.]

I’m not, I promise. And I’ll definitely do my best to keep it that way.

[constellates]

[okay - that manages to get her expression to ease, nodding with a little bit more confidence]

Good.

If you have stories to tell... that is good - but not because you are unsafe. Реюньон. I hope your leg comes back safe too.

[counterclocked]

Surviving against all odds, remember?

[It’s a joke, an attempt to lighten the mood again, and he nods.]

Peach said it would. I don’t think she’s the type to lie about something like that.
