Scars are reminders of wounds that were repaired. And a city that's destroyed can't be rebuilt the same way again. Surely there's a way for him to do both.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Not for him, no. Repairs for us are usually processes and changes that everyone consents to, rather than a role assigned to someone specific.

Re: TRUE HEART

[ hmmmm ]

Then I guess it should go into the ground somewhere.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Anyplace in particular, or are you asking me for advice?

[ He grins. ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

I - er - both, I guess?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ |D ]

What were you thinking of?

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

Somewhere that needs it. Something he's been having trouble with.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ He whistles. ]

That right there is a fairly steep pile of possibilities. But you? You'll probably want to put it back somewhere in England.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

... All right, England then. How do I get there from here?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

The same way you went there before, that's the easiest path.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

Through the tapestry?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

Through the tapestry! I wouldn't recommend the scenic route right now.

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ nods ]

... Thank you.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ His eyebrows raise. ]

For what?

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

For the advice. And - uh, for being yourself, I guess.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ TH just slowly grins and reaches out to roughly ruffle your hair. ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ b...bows his head to allow that?? ]

Edmund?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ Okay no he can't take this he's just going to double over laughing again. ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ hey 8( ]

What did I do?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ He gestures vaguely, too busy crouching and laughing and holding his stomach because oh my god ]

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ reaches out to steady his shoulder ]

... Maybe you should sit down.

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

N-No, no--[hiccup, nope back to laughing]

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ I broke hiiiim ]

Uh, what about breathing then?

Re: TRUE HEART

[dramatispersonae]

[ A quick gasp! ]

I don't need to!

Re: TRUE HEART

[senior_citizen]

[ okay, finally smiling a little ]

Well, I'll stay here and look concerned anyway.
