yeah. yeah its good. he doesnt have to deal w. this shit anymore.
[It's possible that by now he's hanging out with Harlan and Kyna in their future, carrying on business as usual without even remembering Hadriel, but... Harlan doesn't want to think about that. He's certainly not going to open that can of worms with Kyna, not while they have Michael and Wash to worry about.]
theres nothing we can do abt it. i hate that but its true. ig well see if he comes back in the next wave of newbies. jfc it fuckin figures that that jackass hitched a ride out w. all the tourists. goddamn prick.
he's a fucking asshole and of course he leaves right when all this caedra shit is happening again
[And of course she trusts Harlan, but she's come to think of them as a trio. She hates the idea of dealing with this without Tucker, just like she'd hate the idea of doing it without Harlan.]
o speaking of. since we could use a shift of gears. thats what i wanted to talk to u abt. i know where her bodys bein kept. im gonna talk to her when she wakes up to try to talk her out of any revenge plots.
im gonna try to calm her down. shes prob gonna be pissed and want to get revenge on whoever froze her. then im gonna see if we can strike up a deal or smth to keep her at bay in the future. her hurting ppl is gonna make the city come after her w. torches n pitchforks. thatll create trouble for her. its in her best interest to keep the peace. itll be easier to convince one demon than a town full of fuckin idiots.
good. thats what i wanted to ask u. heres the thing tho k. it might end up that we have to fight her. idk how strong she is. prob very considering the whole demon summoning fiasco. if it gets to that point theres a real chance shell kill us. u ok w. that?
alright. second issue then. if it gets to that point and shit looks dire it would be even worse for everyone if both of us end up dead. if im a lost cause i want u to get the fuck out of there. ill do the same ok? one of us should be around to send out a warning and rally if stays violent. this is worst case scenario ofc but its worth discussing.
[Kyna really, really does not want to have this conversation at all. She's tempted to brush it off, as she always is, but she wrestles with herself for a moment.]
u should hate it. i dont want u to be happy abt leaving me to die. lmfao. ty. are u ok? fwiw im betting we wont even have to fight her. ill bring like a shitload of pot as a peace offering.
lol. thx. u sure ur gonna be able to keep quiet for that long? ten bucks says u break before were five mins in. thats not shitty tho. its called missing someone. its normal. plus its weird to think of him back home when were still here.
