[disreguarded]

No, I don't think they would either. [ beau mumbles. ] There was probably only one.

The voice implied some of them died in the snow.

[ruffboi]

You think it's telling the truth, though?

[He kind of doubts it.]

Just feels like - couldn't you get to the fire, at least?

[disreguarded]

Maybe. Or maybe the fire wasn't enough. I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if this place cheats, you know? Like even if you could get there it wouldn't help.

[ruffboi]

Yeah. I could see it.

[Sitting with her? She can pet puppy, if she wants to. Also, still moving his hips even sitting down.]

How're you holding up?

[disreguarded]

[ she reaches up to pet puppy... she's shivering pretty terribly, expression miserable. ]

Um. [ she starts, with a little sniff. ] Not great, but I'm trying.

[ruffboi]

Lotta good people this time around.

[He doesn't know who in particular is hitting Beau hard, but he gets it.]

[disreguarded]

Yeah. [ she clears her throat. ]

I, um. I just - I really liked Shinobu. [ but all the people she likes die, so. this tracks. ]

[ruffboi]

I liked her, too. [But probably not how Beau liked her.]

I'm sorry. It's hard, to keep getting close to people here.

[disreguarded]

[ she reaches up to rub at her not busted eye, casually. ]

Yeah. I shouldn't, I - it's not like this is new. This happened nearly every week at the house, ahah. [ sniff. ] I can't help it.

... She's not dead, not for good. It's just.

[ruffboi]

[C'mere. Have a hug. A nice warm hug from a guy who can't stop slightly shaking his hips. It's fine.]

No, c'mon. Didn't say you were wrong to. Just said it's hard.

[disreguarded]

[ ahhhh, that breaks her a bit. she lets out that shivery sort of pre-cry breath, and hugs him as tightly as she can manage, which... isn't much. she's also shaking still. ]

It is. [ her voice is miserable. ] I'm tired, Magnus.

[ruffboi]

It's okay. You can be tired for a bit if you wanna. Nothing wrong with that.

[He gets the sense Beau tries to be tough for other people a lot, doesn't she?]

[disreguarded]

[ she is trying her best not to cry, but - yeah. trying to be the glue is exhausting sometimes.

she rests her head against his shoulder for a minute, maybe, and tries to get her breathing under control. and pets doggy. that helps. ]

[ruffboi]

[Doggy is good. Anyway, he won't ask her about plot, he'll just give her hug and let her cry a little if she wants.]

[disreguarded]

[ she doesn't cry, but she will take that hug. magnus is a good friend.

she'll still give him plot details if he asks though. u_u ]
