I am almost sorry to see them take their leave. They were quite the challenge, but also quite the mess. Twenty-three is still a good number.

Eden, I will be by shortly.

Zach, I am glad you enjoyed the drinks. My glass?

Whether I want to or not, I know that I must. Eventually.

[Er, click click.]

What about you, Eden?

Action!

[eiremagic]

So yeh don' want to?

[Listening, her hands folding in her lap]

I'd prefer to stay. I've nothin' back in Ireland.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

If I may ask, why not?

[Totally avoiding her question.]

Action!

[eiremagic]

Me fam is the piss, me war is over, me friends are here.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He's noting her usage of the word 'piss' and storing it in his memory bank.]

Those are good reasons as any.

Action!

[eiremagic]

Did yeh solve it?

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Not exactly...

[Says the modest Caspian who unknowingly has 3/4 of the puzzle already solved.]

Action!

[eiremagic]

But yeh're close? I only ever seem to make the damned thing worse.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I think so.

[Turn click click some more.]

Action!

[eiremagic]

Yeh can have it, if yeh like. Give it to that pretty blond yeh spend so much time with.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He's so glad she can't see his face right now, but she probably hears him dropping the cube and quickly scrambling to pick it up.]

I could do that...

Action!

[eiremagic]

Oy? You okay?

Is he okay?

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I'm all right, thank you. I mean, thank you for the puzzle. Are you sure you want me to have it?

Peter is fine.

Action!

[eiremagic]

Oh, that damned piece of shite can go to hell, for all the good it's done me.

Yeh enjoy it.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[A little more relaxed.]

Thank you, Eden.

Action!

[eiremagic]

Welcome.

Thanks for comin' to see me.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Caspian pockets the puzzle and stands to approach her side.]

It was my pleasure, Eden. I hope that you fully recover sooner than later.

[Oh feel that? Those are fingertips reaching for her hand, the one without needles stuck in it.]

Action!

[eiremagic]

[Whammo. See that red, Caspian? You actually got her anemic ass to BLUSH. But she squeezes his hand fondly, just a touch of firmness]

I'll be outta here before it's an issue.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Leave it to Caspian to not even notice, hur hur. He does the gentlemanly thing, giving her hand a fair squeeze and a kiss to her fingers. Even a lady laid up in a hospital bed deserves to be treated as, well, a lady. That and Caspian knows she can't retaliate in this state.]

I hope so.

Action!

[eiremagic]

Oh.

I-that is, we-that is, I, I hope yeh...

Er.

Oh, okay. I know, er. Thank yeh, and when me eyes heal over yeh'll...that is, we'll go back to learnin' about horses, yeah?

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Oh, she's falling over her words. Someone needs to tell Caspian that chivalry ins this world is dead or some such. He sets her hand back down on the bed and nods.]

I am holding you to that, Eden. Feel better, all right?

Action!

[eiremagic]

Yeah. I will. Thanks.

Action!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[For the puzzle, and stuff, yes. He takes his leave, quietly shutting the door behind him.]
