I understand you're busy with something but if you get this - I have your arm. I'd like to return it to you.

[restored]

[After his daily post-hunt check in (and a few moments taken to keep from typing out his gut response)...]

is there a reason you took it?

[holyposition]

It was part of a quest. I needed to do 3 awful things to three different people.

I would have rejected it but my partner is sick and they put him in bronze. He couldn't handle it. It's selfish, I know. But it's the only way I could help him.

I'm sorry.

I kept it safe, though.

[restored]

it's alright. i get it
we've all got people we want to protect
so for what it's worth, i ain't mad at you for it

[Though he's mad at himself for getting complacent. But that's not the point here.]

i've got a quest of my own, so i can't come back inside for another week
i can ask someone to pick it up though

[holyposition]

That's very kind of you. If I were in your shoes, I'd hope I could be half as understanding.

I can take it to you. The least I can do is meet with you face to face.

[restored]

I'm too old to hold grudges for things we've got no control over.

You're gonna have to hold off till I'm back then. Heading out here won't end well.

[holyposition]

I'm gold. I could have said no.

...why wouldn't it?

[restored]

but you didn't, cause you've got someone you need to look out for
that makes a difference

what i am ain't a secret anymore
got another week until i'm good to be around people again

[Though...probably not for the expected reasons. It's definitely not his teeth he'll end up sinking in to someone if they stumble across him right now.]

[holyposition]

I could have made a target out of anyone. But thank you.

Right. I thought that was just for the full moon.

[restored]

the moon doesn't control my shifts
would be a whole lot easier if it did

[holyposition]

Oh. I'm sorry. Was it insensitive for me to assume that?

I'll pass it off to someone if it isn't safe. Greer offered.

[restored]

you're fine. it takes a lot more than that to offend me
and it's an easy assumption to make anyway

if greer's already offered, then she's a good choice. i trust her

[holyposition]

Okay, I'll hand it off to her.

But I'd like to make it up to you. When you feel better.
