You decline to relax?

wait, does 'relax' mean something else in your world?

[ Bro? ]

[downswing]

There is toil, still.

Salt lines.

[makemeasong]

you never stop, do you?

i feel like you'd go stir crazy if nothing was ever wrong. You're like the Doctor.

[downswing]

'Goes where the chaos is.' Once, they said.

[makemeasong]

yeah, that tracks.

The Doctor kept his smile such a mystery, though.

[downswing]

You hold him in affection.

that wasn't clara's typo about smiling it was mine D:

[makemeasong]

[ Clara stares at the message for a minute before replying. ]

Yes.

If smiles equate to affection, there's plenty.

lmf WELL... THEN...

[downswing]

Life is sweetened by friendship.

[makemeasong]

consider your life sweetened then. because we're friends.

[ /pivots gracefully away from her feelings about the Doctor. ]

[downswing]

Barely acquainted.

[makemeasong]

wow, taking care of one another doesn't give us at least some friendship points?

[downswing]

Is it so simple?

[makemeasong]

I don't mean I'm going to make you a friendship bracelet or anything. that's level 10 status. We're level 1-2 I like to think.

In all seriousness, and at the risk of being too much, I do care about you. I was worried for you. Maybe 'acquaintance' is the right word.

BREAKING NEWS

[downswing]

I lack familiarity with friendship.

WANGJI PLS

[makemeasong]

you told me you had family here, and you're not friends with any of them?

w e e p

[downswing]

Family binds differ.


( Wait. Wait. He's. Thinking. )


I have a witch. A doctor.

[makemeasong]

[ She was going to elaborate but: ]

You have a witch who's a doctor, or you know a witch and a doctor?

[downswing]

They are two.

( H m Mm m M mm mmm MmmmM MMMMMmm m mm Mmm m. )

But the witch might learn of healing.

And the doctor speaks strangely, as witches do.

[makemeasong]

And do you find yourself enjoying the time you spend with them?

[downswing]

They do not often intend me harm.

[makemeasong]

And you didn't answer the question. nice try though :)

Do you like being in their presence? Is it enjoyable? Do you in any way look forward to seeing them?

[downswing]

They intend me harm less often than many.


( This is the standard. )

i'm sorry for her lmao

[makemeasong]

I'm just gonna keep sending variations of the same question until you actually answer it.

Is there anyone you think of and immediately wouldn't mind visiting, because you enjoy being in their presence?

are you tho

[downswing]

Inconsequential. His absence known.

See to your safety. Deathly things threaten.

.....no

[makemeasong]

[ Clara frowns at her device; she pushed too far. He doesn't ever seem to be happy, although she doesn't know him. Maybe behind closed doors he can't stop smiling. He's married as far as she knows, does that bring him joy? She can't ask now, though. ]

I'll be alright. Always am.
besides, i have a sword now.
