they're so fucking tacky honestly i just can't

anyway reminders of home is the last thing i need rn

did you get anything?

[extent]

nothing tacky + wearable + fancy like you
just a dagger

[guylining]

a dagger?

does it mean something to you?

[extent]

its like a long-ish story

[guylining]

well

i have time

[extent]

have i told you what graduation was like at my school?

[guylining]

you don't talk much about home

but oli does

[extent]

i guess i dont

did he tell you about how its basically like monster vs witch and all u have to do to grad is survive til morning

[guylining]

yeah.

made me relieved you dropped out. fucking insanity, that.

[extent]

you know it used to seem kinda normal to me.

i went out that night, anyway. into the woods where they do graduation. one of my friends, not these guys, i just like

i knew something bad was going to happen. that was fucking insanity, wtf did i even think i was going to do, i'd done nothing but be high for 3 yrs straight

[guylining]

wait so you went anyway?

what the fuck happened nick

[extent]

august, his name is. i've known him forever, i had to go, i just sort of knew i had to, or he wouldnt make it. i dont know what happened out there but he was like, almost dead when i found him

do you remember how when i got here my healing was like....average at best?

[guylining]

yeah

you could do it but it's gotten better while you worked on it. you're one of the best there is now

but ok so when you found him you struggled to heal him i guess?

[extent]

yeah
i was even worse then, like seriously so average, but he was dying and there was this demon thing out there and i wasnt strong enough to keep that thing out and fix august on my own

its his knife. he had it with him that night. blood magic was basically the only thing that could make me powerful enough to handle either of those things, let alone both, so i sliced my hand open with it

that's like, why my hand's still like that, the scar

[guylining]

oh

fuck, that's intense, nick. did you save him?
what happened with the monster

[extent]

it never really wanted me anyway, august was the one with the demonic magic. idk, i didn't kill it or anything, but i held it back. it probably found someone else out there.

but he lived, yeah. i saved him. fuck them woods though

[guylining]

how did you know he needed you

was it like an extrasensory thing?

i didn't think you were big on divination

[extent]

i'm not, like at all, thats why it was weird.
idk
something didnt want him going that night i guess

[guylining]

then something made the right call

you know that's a hero move. what you did.

you must've been terrified.

[extent]

yeah it was scary as shit, i cant fight for shit
idk about hero, it was so goddamn stupid thats for sure. but none of my people died in the woods that year so like. it was worth it

[guylining]

i've met a lot of heroes here, they're basically all stupid

you saved your friend, that's what matters.

you're pretty badass.

[extent]

it was like one moment in a lifetime of coasting i wouldnt get too ahead of urself babe, badass is a stretch

[guylining]

no it's not you saved his life
don't play down your badassery

[extent]

if i was really badass i would have done it w/o scarring myself for life but

ok sure it was a little

[guylining]

scars are hot. that one's a reminder of badassery, it makes it sexier

but i mean if you don't like it
you healed my scars. the ones from stephen.
