[AND THEN EVERYONE WOKE UP.

For his part, Ryner is jerking awake in bed and looking around frantically!

... It's just harder this time. Because... I wanted a lot to believe that. And... Sion.

[maidmalapert]

But you'll see him again.

[stigmateyes]

... I wanted things easier for him.

[maidmalapert]

What do you mean?

[stigmateyes]

It's better for him here than back in Roland...

[maidmalapert]

...were you going to stay here with him?

[stigmateyes]

Ahh, hadn't thought that far.

[maidmalapert]

Oh...

[stigmateyes]

... Sorry for shutting you guys out.

[maidmalapert]

[squeezes his hand]

You won't anymore, will you? You'll try not to?

[stigmateyes]

[Gives light squeeze back.]

Yeah, I'll try not to.

[maidmalapert]

Then that's all right.

[stigmateyes]

Mm, we can figure it out from there.

[maidmalapert]

[offers her pinky for a pinky-swear]

[stigmateyes]

[Blinks. I have no idea what this is. :|a]

[maidmalapert]

Hold up your pinky.

[stigmateyes]

[Um, okay. Does that.]

[maidmalapert]

[links pinkies]

Now it's a promise.

[stigmateyes]

Ahh, is that how it works?

[maidmalapert]

Yes.

[stigmateyes]

I'll have to show Ferris.

[maidmalapert]

...I'd like to meet her.

[stigmateyes]

Ahhh, that's probably a terrible idea. But if she finds out I still haven't introduced you two, she'll just be pissed.

[maidmalapert]

Why is it terrible? Don't be absurd!

[stigmateyes]

Because Ferris is a horrible influence. The absolute worst! Don't believe a thing she says about me.
