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.

[downswing]

Wise, to ( 'Entrust.' ) burden you with a blade?

[makemeasong]

[ Oh, that got his attention, of course. ]

It shrinks down so I can put it in my pocket. Convenient. And when I hold it, boom, full-on sword. I mean, I think it might be a little smaller than a regular one, but it's long and sharp.

[downswing]

Convenience does not forge mastery.

[makemeasong]

blame this place, just letting people take a sword without any knowledge how to use one.

[ She gives it a second before sending: ]

Don't worry. There are at least two people here who can teach me enough to save myself.

[downswing]

Name them.


( He can think of more people who should not be allowed to impart their wisdom. )

[makemeasong]

Are you worried about me?
