This is Kyna. You should just text me if you actually want me to answer.

[Kyna sighs, leaning into his touch automatically, but then she tenses again at that statement.]

Wait, why? Did someone else leave?

[hardwearing]

Yeah... I didn't say anything because and maybe she'd come back with the new arrivals or something, but she didn't. El disappeared a few weeks ago.

[ He tilts his head towards the dresser where his armor is set out, and Kyna may notice that beside it is a little walkie talkie. The one Eleven used to carry. ]

[evocation]

[Oh, no. Kyna tightens her grip on his hands, trying to keep her voice from trembling.]

I'm sorry. You could have told me.

[hardwearing]

[ Ugh they're just gonna be sad together now. 8( ]

No, I think I was hoping she'd come back. I'm telling you now that she didn't.

[ He looks back at Kyna, then, eyes bright. ]

We need to save Maine. I can't -- if he just disappears, too, I don't... we haven't even figured out how to tell him.

[evocation]

I can try. I didn't...

[She lets out a shaky breath.]

I didn't even have anything of Rome's. I can't even try to find him if we go home.

[hardwearing]

...did he leave anything? We could go check his apartment.

[evocation]

I don't know. When I went back home, everything I brought here came with me, and I don't even know how I'd be able to tell what he had from home, anyway.

[hardwearing]

Oh. I didn't know that... shit, I'm sorry.

[ Trying to be helpful is probably just upsetting her worse. ]

I know I'm not helping, I just wish I could fix it.

[evocation]

[Kyna leans forward to wrap her arms around him.]

You always help.

[And she knows he always wants to fix it, even if there's no obvious solution.]

We'll figure out something with Maine, just like with Lance. I promise.

[hardwearing]

[ Wash's arms come up around her easily, holding her to his chest as a comfort for them both, he hopes. ]

Okay.

[ Unless they just vanish. Or... maybe there's more to it. ]

Do you have a backup plan for Lance?

[evocation]

What kind of back up plan?

[Kyna is not exactly an expert at those.]

[hardwearing]

Well... what's the main plan? Bring him home and then get back to his world after he would have died, right?
