[ And he wants the same for her. Using brute force to stop her carries bad memories all on its own.

Her saying that snaps him back out of his thoughts. ] Right now?

[ He wouldn't want to just watch her write, but he for one hasn't forgotten the wind rune. ]

[And she is worried about that, too--if it comes down to her being cursed like last year, part of her doesn't care how she's stopped as long as it's before she hurts her friends again.]

Yeah. As soon as possible, right? [At least one of them remembers...]

[ Part of him feels the same way about himself, but he doesn't want to be brought to the brink of death ever again. ]

Right, but... You should attach the rune now. It won't take long... You can think of the formula on the way.

[Their thinking would be almost the same if they knew...But either way, a sleeping spell will make Rita feel at least a little more at ease.]

Oh--that's right. I guess...If it really won't take long, then I'll get it attached.

[ Tyr will, too. Especially since she can teach it to him. ]

It won't... Besides, there's a sleep spell on the wind rune; you'll be safer either way.

[One small bit of preparation that'll come in handy.

Rita agrees, but she finds herself thinking about his wording.] Are you still worried?

[ Definitely... ]

... It's just a fact. [ He wishes he wasn't worried, but it's hard not to be now. He reaches out to take her hand. ] Come on, let's get it attached.

It's a fact that you'll be safer, too. [They're both pretty worried--for good reason, but still...She clasps his hand when he takes it, nodding.] Let's go.

...Right, we'll both be safer... [ He holds her hand more tightly than usual. ] Do you have the crystal with you now?

... [She notices and doesn't mind. The realist in her is skeptical of whether they'll actually be much safer, but this is definitely something they need.] Yeah. I have everything I need to work on the formula, too.

[ He thinks she could be safer, at least... Even if she can only cast the rune's spell without moving her hands. As much as he doesn't want to be hurt himself, it's her that he's worried about. ]

Good. [ He'll lead them off the beach and back toward the city. ] Were you planning to work on it out here?

[She knows that he worries about her...And it's not like the weekend gave them any reason to be reassured. Attaching it isn't just for her own sake...Impulsively, she gives his hand a little squeeze.]

Maybe. I just thought I'd bring them along. I only got started on it yesterday.

[ He's a little surprised when he feels her squeeze his hand and looks over at her again. Even if he doesn't think about he being worried about him, he doesn't think she wants healing spells just for her own sake. The only thing on his mind, though, is that he can't stand the thought of her being injured that badly again. ]

So... You're going to finish the entire thing in two days?

[She glances at him a moment, then forward again. Even though she tried to be careful, that didn't really work out on the weekend, did it?]

I can do that much easily. It'll get done.

[ There was no way to prevent her from being injured, he finally accepted that, but they could still try to prevent it in the future. He looks forward again. ]

I believe you... It's just... It's amazing that you can do it that quickly...

[ also, do you wanna do a three-way thread in the other post with Tyr and Estelle, or? ]

[There's still the question of just how much they'll be able to prevent, but they'll be a bit better equipped this time.]

I wouldn't call that amazing...But we're going to need it from now on.

[That would be cute! As long as you don't mind me being super slow?;;]

[ For better or worse, since they won't forget the spell just because they're cursed. ]

That's right... There's not any point in even hoping otherwise...

[ I didn't get a notif for this... I don't mind if you're slow at all! Maybe we can set up a thread log for when Tyr arrives and all. ]

[It could be a matter of who's faster at casting if it comes to that...]

No. And I can't let it be like last time.

[Sob LJ. >: But yay, okay! That sounds good to me. :3]

[ ...Hope it's not Rita that's cursed... ._. ]

Rita... [ He looks over at her, concerned. ] It won't be like that; we know what's coming now...

[ Okay!! I'll toss it up tomorrow. :3 ]

[Sob or it'll be back to brute force for Tyr. ._.]

[She shakes her head, unable to stop thinking about it--and just getting more and more worried.] We don't know! They could throw anything at us, and we can't just stop it from happening.

[Okay! /o/]

[ Sob, not what he wants. ;_; ]

[ He hates that he's not able to stop her from worrying about it. It's hopeless to think about. ] We'll still do the best we can. We know the basics of what could happen, so...

[Bad end... ;_;]

[She's so hung up on what could happen...She doesn't want to let any of her friends out of her sight.] They won't throw the same curses at us unless it's something we can't fight, like--like the nightmares again, or...

[ Or they could both be cursed and make things awful for everyone... ]

[ He tries to pick up their pace as they walk. The sooner they get the rune attached, the less they'll have to worry about. Right? ] We won't get hurt if it's just the nightmares... We... [ He trails off, thinking the other thing he couldn't fight landed him bedridden for a week. ]

[Now there's a thought...]

[It's not until he's tugging her hand ahead that she realizes he's sped up, and she matches it after a moment. As much as the rune is needed, she can't help but think it won't do much for them. Like if Tyr disappeared again...] I know, but...

Just--You have to be careful, okay? [Don't end up scarred again, Tyr.]

[ Evil duo... ]

[ He nods and keeps pulling them forward. He can't even tell her not to worry... It could be him or her or Estelle or anyone else. ]

You, too. And I'll watch out for you... --We can protect each other.

[ As long as they don't kill each other... ]
