Euphie, you shouldn't worry about me, it's just a curse.

[He just tries to make her feel better, when in reality, this hit him harder than he'll admit.]

[deadly_legacy]

But you're the one saying it sounds true, Hanna.

I'm sorry you have a curse like this.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so it's true, but it's also a curse, so I shouldn't really think about it, that's all.

You don't have to apologize, Euphie...I hope you're not affected by this...

[deadly_legacy]

No, I'm not cursed. [Although it has made her wonder what her actual tomb might have said. Did she even have one after what she did?]

And it's not true. Stop saying that it is.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay, I'll stop saying it.

I'm glad you're not cursed, Euphie.

[deadly_legacy]

Stop thinking it too.

I'm...glad for that too, Hanna.

How are you?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Aw, you're no fun.

I'm okay.

[Sort of. Kind of. He misses you.]

How about you? Are you doing all right? Are...

[He stops. He can't pry too much...]

...are you happy?

[deadly_legacy]

Not at all. [She smiles softly though and really hopes he won't always think that way about himself.]

...You don't have to be worried about asking me things, Hanna. You're one of my closest friends. [Does he think that changed? ...Did it?] And...

I am I think.

...Are you?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know, I know...still, don't wanna poke the personal bubble too much...heh.

I'm always happy, Euphie, but thank you for asking!

[deadly_legacy]

You won't. You can't. You're inside the bubble with me. [It's not really true, but he is closer to her than almost anyone here.]

You're always happy? Did you start lying to me?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I am not lying, Euphie. Even when I feel low, I see enough good to try and be happy...

...Glad I'm still in the bubble, then.

[deadly_legacy]

Of course you are. You're one of my closest friends. [She doesn't want that to change, but she wonders if she still deserves it.]

And I'm glad you aren't lying to me. I'm sorry I said you were.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Euphie.

[deadly_legacy]

I haven't made you feel very much better today.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Talking to you makes me feel better.

[deadly_legacy]

You make it sound easy.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Weeelll...it is easy.

[deadly_legacy]

Then I'm glad we're talking. We should do that more.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we should. I miss talking to you...

[deadly_legacy]

Maybe we should have a regular time we get together every week, so that even if we get busy we don't forget to see each other at least that much. Or as regular as anything can be in a cursed city.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'd like that, Euphie.

[deadly_legacy]

Maybe a lunch?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Lunch would be great.

[deadly_legacy]

Lunch it is. Which day would you like to be our day?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Is Wednesday okay?
