[His memory can be pretty good where it counts!! Besides which, well. The last time they'd met would be pretty hard to forget in the first place...]
thats good to hear then what with everything that was going on a few days ago and so many people out in the thick of it and all im doing pretty good though yeah , feels like forever since i could relax like this
[...And then, after a slightly awkward delay--because, alright, so maybe the fact that she's a friend of Zelos's does kind of edge up the uncertainty on a few levels, considering what had happened to the guy earlier in the week--]
[Truly nobody, that's who 8| BUT OH...this is a surprising reply. In a good way. And Jack takes a moment to just blink at the text, for awhile, before he can finally gather the proper presence of mind to type up his own response.]
oh
[Jack no that's not the way you address these things, come on--]
oh , thanks ! uh i mean , thanks for YOUR thanks and actually that should have been youre welcome i guess but yeah , it was no problem i was just glad i could help in any way out there really so you definitely dont need to apologize , theres been a lot going on for everybody
[Equal parts embarrassment and never quite knowing how to handle these sorts of things, really--being thanked. He hasn't earned many particularly grateful people in his lifetime, all things considered, so it's a lot of dust to knock off.]
in rapture ? well , as okay as anybody else was down there still cant say im not glad to be shot of the place though a city underwater is a terrible idea
didnt have any trouble down there yourself , did you ?
[it's a slight delay before Jack's own reply comes in, but at length:]
yeah i guess thats true i dont really do staying in one place for too long so kind of easy to forget sometimes , but youre right nowheres really COMPLETELY safe
[But Rapture had certainly ranked a lot higher on the list, and in the grand scheme of things it probably could have been avoided in its entirety if somebody hadn't decided to build it there in the first place...]
[It is indeed behind, though, and nothing's going to change that anytime soon.]
[And so, the topic change is a distracting and moderately welcome thing, all at once.]
pretty great though , gotta say its about time we finally found a way to do it i know im not going to be missing this ship anytime soon

no subject
[She's both happy and surprised he remembers, since so much has happened since they met.]
Yeah, I've been doing all right. How about you?
[The conversation's got to start somehow, right?]
no subject
thats good to hear then
what with everything that was going on a few days ago and so many people out in the thick of it and all
im doing pretty good though yeah , feels like forever since i could relax like this
[...And then, after a slightly awkward delay--because, alright, so maybe the fact that she's a friend of Zelos's does kind of edge up the uncertainty on a few levels, considering what had happened to the guy earlier in the week--]
sthere something you wanted to talk about ?
no subject
Not to mention the actions of two other people when she arrived?]
I know what you mean. It still feels kind of weird not having to be ready for something to happen all the time. [Including being at home.]
And yeah... Thanks to everything happening so fast, I never really got the chance to thank you for what you did that night.
[Yep, she's feeling a bit awkward, too, but only because of how long this had taken her to do--not because of any friendships she already has.]
Sorry it took so long for me to say.
no subject
oh
[Jack no that's not the way you address these things, come on--]
oh , thanks !
uh
i mean , thanks for YOUR thanks
and actually that should have been youre welcome i guess
but yeah , it was no problem
i was just glad i could help in any way out there really
so you definitely dont need to apologize , theres been a lot going on for everybody
no subject
You're welcome, and you helped out a lot.
[But, now she has something else to ask him.]
I didn't see you there, but were you okay in Rapture?
no subject
in rapture ?
well , as okay as anybody else was down there
still cant say im not glad to be shot of the place though
a city underwater is a terrible idea
didnt have any trouble down there yourself , did you ?
no subject
Oh, I don't know. A city underwater isn't that bad of an idea. It's what the people do there that's the problem...
But, yeah, I'm glad to be away from there, too.
[She pauses, unsure...then tells a half-truth because habit.]
A little... At home, I'm used to fighting monsters...but they were people there... I'm hoping they finally found some peace.
[Yep. She feels bad about having to kill people, but they were suffering, right?]
no subject
people arent meant to be under water
id say it just wouldnt be worth the risk but thats just me
but either way yeah three cheers for putting that behind us huh ?
[A half-truth's better than no truth at all! Jack will take what he can get.]
i
do know what you mean there though , yeah
those guys were just humans in the end
cant say i really liked fighting them either
but thats about all we can hope for them in the end i guess
compared to the alternative its probably for the better you know ?
no subject
Yeah, it's behind us...
[Although a part of her wishes she could have done more.]
Yeah, it probably is.
[She pauses long enough to show topic change.]
How are you feeling now that we're going home?
no subject
yeah i guess thats true
i dont really do staying in one place for too long so
kind of easy to forget sometimes , but youre right
nowheres really COMPLETELY safe
[But Rapture had certainly ranked a lot higher on the list, and in the grand scheme of things it probably could have been avoided in its entirety if somebody hadn't decided to build it there in the first place...]
[It is indeed behind, though, and nothing's going to change that anytime soon.]
[And so, the topic change is a distracting and moderately welcome thing, all at once.]
pretty great though , gotta say
its about time we finally found a way to do it
i know im not going to be missing this ship anytime soon
no subject
[A pause.]
No wonder that guy kept away from all of us so much. Although, I wish we had discovered the key a lot sooner.
