Shadows came out from one of the bathroom stalls while I was trying to scry. I'm alright.

... My socks are wet. [ :\ ]

[punnier]

[ Trying not to overly fuss, but they're looking him over with clear concern. ]

Are you alright? [ And, you know... not just saying that to reassure them all? ] Maybe we stick together from here on to be safe.

..I can lend you mine but.. [ Their feet are small. ]

[fried]

Of course.

[ he wouldn't lie to you about being okay!! that's not a thing he does ever!! totally!!

the concern gets him to straighten up. ]

Don't worry too much about it. I have other socks, Siffrin. [ ... ] I think it might be a good idea to watch each other's backs, yes.

[punnier]

[ Right. Siffrin watches him a little, as if not entirely convinced. But it's more out of concern than distrust. ]

If you say so. [ Even if they hesitate a bit, but they'll fold for Jiaoqiu so. ] If you want to try and scry again, I'll come with you and keep you safe.

[ a beat, and then he reaches to put a hand their shoulder for a second. ]

I do say so. [ a little tersely, but not mean, just... insistent. ] I handled myself fine, I don't need to be protected.

But if we work together, I'm fine with that.

[punnier]

[ The slightest of winces, knowing very well they're being too protective here but. Only because they don't want to risk losing any of them. ]

..Alright. [ Doesn't argue. Just offering a nod. Work together it is. ]
