This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Helios anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
[Written, June 10th]

I think it will. Especially if he isn't sleeping. Or if you're not sleeping. And we've established that I'm not.

...I hate to think how we'll manage when she's sent home.

[ Just a shiver which is quite odd for someone who can't feel cold. ] rather not think about it to be honest. But we will manage if it ever becomes the case. I-I mean I did go to school for psychology before...before reopening the Academy. I'm not sure how much of it really stayed. I'm not as practiced as her naturally.

[ A bit more quietly. ] There has to be someone else. Maybe there will be someone else to at least help Paprika. But for now we should work on helping one another try to get better after everything that's happened.

Did you? I didn't know that. [Opening the door of the apartment, now.]

...if there is someone else, they've never come forward. And we can't exactly ask them to.

We managed before Paprika came to the village. We'll be able to manage when she lives, no matter how much we don't like it.

It wasn't really for me I guess. But I did. [ Still following and Helios might have been sipping at that tea you prepared Giles. Which was probably a bad idea because he is starting to feel the effects. ]

No we can't...can't place a burden like that on someone. But will, and did manage we're all rather good at managing. Even if, as you put it, we don't like it.

Re: [Action, June 27th]

[consultmybooks]

Then who was it for?

...if you don't mind my asking, that is.

[Oh god, Helios, why you do this. Giles looks slightly askance when he notices Helios drinking the knock-out tea...then he sighs and shakes his head.]

Ah, yes.

How about we just...stop off at your room, then.

[Action, June 27th]

[folklorist]

People as, as a whole. I figured if I could somehow bridge the gap...get people to understand through psychology that magic and myths were actually real I'd be helping the two communities. People just thought I was crazy though. [ Helios will laugh. ] Rightfully so. I didn't exactly have proof at the time. Mythica are far too paranoid to really show themselves to people. My efforts got many a laugh out of the scientific community. So, I tried a different approach, and that's where the academy came in! I would like to go back and show them I wasn't joking, or that I'm not crazy, but it could threaten everything I...we, worked for. A little self-fulfillment and revenge isn't worth that.

[ Helios sighs shaking his head. This tea is strong. He probably shouldn't have sipped it while walking. He uses his free hand to cover an unsuccessfully stifled, yawn. ]

Yes, right. I...think that's best.

Re: [Action, June 27th]

[consultmybooks]

...so you did take that path for yourself, at least. Even if other people, other parts of your life, were...were the reason for it.

That's important, Helios. It...makes it mean a great deal more.

[Suspicious sideways glance at that yawn, Helios...followed by a faint smile.]

At least...well, at least one of us won't have any more difficulty sleeping tonight.

[Action, June 27th]

[folklorist]

A great deal more? I'm not so sure. Not many people find it to be. But, ah, I guess it doesn't have to mean much to anyone besides yourself. It doesn't even have to be known to the people you're trying to do it for really. But I think the end result is all that matters. It means more than it just being for yourself at the very least.

[ Helios will blink removing his hand with an apologetic smile. ]

I'm sorry Giles. You weren't lying about this tea. It's rather good though. [ So tired, have another half yawn. He doesn't mean to be rude, oh my goodness, he shouldn't have drank some while walking. ]

Re: [Action, June 27th]

[consultmybooks]

I'm glad you like it. I'd still prefer not to have to dose you up with it ever again.

...sleep well, Helios. Tomorrow, things will start getting better. I promise.

[Action, June 27th]

[folklorist]

Oh trust me, Giles. If this is the reason behind it? I rather you never have to either.

[ A yawn with a nod as he stops in front of his door. A hand going to the handle before pausing as he looks back at Giles. There might be a small, sad, smile on his face. ] Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow everything will get better.

Re: [Action, June 27th]

[consultmybooks]

Of course it will. And we won't be around to enjoy it if we don't start getting some rest, the three of us.

[With a small wave, Giles will turn to go back to his room.

He won't be doing any sleeping tonight, but at least he has his books and his journal for company.]
