[Attempts to pat him on the shoulder? Very slow, very telegraphed]

Hey--hey. He must've done something pretty bad for you go for it. That doesn't seem like something you'd do. ...Or even could do, no offense.

[ he flinches, but doesn't make any attempts to actually move away. ]

I don't think he did anything. [ NONE TAKEN. ] I didn't think I could either, but he... I...

I should have just stayed with you guys.

No,

[immediate, shaking her head emphatically]

No, it's fine you missed that. ...Unless you really were into watching King and Intensity fight. They were really going at it...maybe he got a concussion or something and that's what caused the accident.

I just heard about the fight. I spend almost all of my time in the sand. M- Maybe the heat got to my head and, I- I don't know, I started to hallucinate.

[ because no one is going to believe he stabbed anybody with anything. ]

M- Maybe. [ ok, deep breathes, this is fine. it's ok. he probably just fell onto the knife he so poorly caught. ]

How did things go for you guys? [ let's change the subject... to a potentially even worse one. ]

Maybe ask 99 and Anubis next time you see 'em. In case you wanna avoid King for a while. ...Now I kinda do feel bad we left. Except it was--

[breaks off, shudders]

--If you get any genies, leave 'em the hell alone.

M- Might be a good idea post game.

[ or the worst idea ever. ]

What? Genies? I didn't know Genies were real. [ says the kid who used to get possessed by an ancient pharaoh. ]

[surely everything will be fine! my good buddy 99 will set everything straight]

Me neither, 'til I saw two of 'em come outta that box.

Anyways--what're you gonna do? Pretty sure I saw some of your teammates around.

[ he's going to shed an obnoxious amount of light on things for sure! ]

[ looks to the boxes. ] I keep getting candy...

I don't know. I don't really want to stay here, but I'm worried about the other zones. What about you?

Did you want something different?

[he doesn't look like he wants a box of throwing knives but if he wants? a box of throwing knives?]

And I'm gonna wait for Hurricane.

I don't even know.

[ scrubs his hands over his face. ]

[ she might be able to make more use of them, and he doesn't want to leave her without anything. maybe one? ]

He's in this round too? Tell him I said hi.

[ AND MAYBE THIS ROUND WILL GO BETTER THAN THE LAST. ]

[she has an axe hooked to her belt (and also can make infinite weapons) so she presses them into his hands]

I dunno if he's here. That's why I'm waiting.

[so it will surely go better for him???]

Anyways, unless you wanna wait around, you should get going. Don't let anybody mess with you, okay?

[ he smiles at the gesture. he hopes he doesn't have to use them, but... it's nice to have something to at least defend himself. ]

Thank, Nemesis. I hope he's not here. It seemed like the few rounds he'd been in really screwed him up. I hope you catch a break too.

[ here's to hoping??? ]

I think the party they're forming is getting ready to head out. [ jerks thumb over his shoulder. ]

I'll try. [ for all the good it's going to do. ] Best of luck.

I'm-- I'll be fine.

[attempts a smile; it's not a very good attempt, and she quits]

Yeah. Catch you later, okay?

[ it's ok, nem, it's the thought that counts. ]

[ he'll try to smile too and it's just as piss poor. ]

Later Nemesis.
