[Sigh...]
I guess... It feels like the more people who know about our plans or our promise, the more people who will try to get in our way... I'd like for people to be as little informed as possible.

Right...
[Well, shit. He crosses his arms as he tries to think... Not his strong suit, but he's gotta do it anyway.]
Now what?

Now what?
[aaaaugh she wants happy Zack back!!! shame on her for making him go away.]
Um... We can still try. We've made it through more difficult circumstances. But Zack... Is it really okay with you? You're out of that place, but I didn't help at all...

Mmn...
[That. Is a good question, but...]
We got to the second floor, right? I doubt I woulda made it there without you.
[Or made it at all, really. Now he's thinking about Cathy's stupid death battle shit and how the two of them got outta that one.]

Yeah. You definitely wouldn't have.
[S-sorry...but Zack's useless at puzzles, and they bothered to actually include some.]
But I didn't promise to get you to the second floor. I promised that I would help you leave the building.
[pedantic]

[Look, at least he knows his weaknesses.]
... Yeah, I know. But did you count on the Fog Bitch dragging us out, cuz I sure didn't.

Mm.
[She gives a sluggish shake of her head and rests her chin down on her shell.]
Still...it isn't what we promised. You would be fulfilling your end when I didn't fulfill mine. So it's up to you...whether that's fair and okay, or not. I won't blame you if you don't think it is.

[Damnit, she's making him think.]
I'll have to sleep on that, I guess.
[... He kind of pokes her blobby slime head.]

[Squish. The surface doesn’t break, so it’s not as gross as it could have been, but her head dents in without much resistance where he’s pushing.]
Yeah. There’s some time to think... And I know you’ll kill me...one day... [...] Sorry I ruined your good mood.

Yup.
[Squish. Squish squish squish.
The robot seems easily amused by this.]
Hey, it's not the worst thing that's ever happened to us.

Hello Rachel, it's Doctor Danny! [He says, as if she wouldn't immediately realize it was him based on username alone.] I'm not sure if you've heard the news yet or not, but I will no longer be conducting therapy sessions at the clinic, so I'd like to discuss some things with you, if you have a moment to spare.
I heard.
[Just didn't care enough to comment on it, apparently. She was also locked in a hospital at the time, so it's not entirely due to her being...her.]
What is it?

[lmao well okay I guess you're off the hook there rachel]
Well, until I am able to acquire a new office, we'll have to conduct any further sessions here at my place. They'll still be private of course, and given that I'm still not eager for Zack to learn of where I live, you'll have to come alone, or find someone else more capable of escorting you here if you prefer.

Mr. Watchmaker.
[The response comes fast, all things considered.]

[That gets a slight pause, surprised at just how fast the response came, and it not having been one of her little friends or something from Hill House.]
Aunamee? [...] Yes, that would be fine. Come to think of it, it's been a while since the three of us did anything together. Not since Thanksgiving, wasn't it?
Of course, he can't be in the room with you during therapy sessions, but I would never be so cold as to make our [... boyfriend? partner? that feels awkward to say in text in front of rachel] friend wait outside. He'll simply have to wait in another room until the session is over.

If that [...is his will? No, she isn't allowed to say things like that to others.] is okay. I need to ask. But Thanksgiving was really perfect with the five of us wasn't it wasn't it? It would be nice if more days could be like that I think.
[five of--right, the parents. of course.]
Indeed. We'll have to do something special again when all of us have enough free time to spend together.
[Probably not until after Valentine's... which he still needs to do something for Aunamee about, fuck. He's never actually done anything about this holiday for anyone in several years, but he's not about to ask advice from someone like Rachel here.]
In the meantime, have you been doing well? Our conversations have been rather sparse this past month or so.

I guess so. I've been well, just cold and tired.
I haven't had anything I needed to talk to you about.
I haven't had anything I needed to talk to you about.
Well, it's fine if you don't have anything important to talk about either, since I just like talking with you in general Rachel. It always makes me happy when I get to hear from you.
[And look at your eyes while you're talking, normally, but no one needs to hear him say that.]

This doesn't bug me. I thought you might need it eventually. I'll just need measurements again.
Which did you end up being, anyway?

There are enough things around that being a monster that can't go out in daylight isn't much of a problem, either. But...
Falling off?
