[hypoxic]

It's a reasonable idea. Made sense. I could've said no.

[deaddrop]

But it was my idea and it had consequences. I'd like to apologize for it.

[hypoxic]

[He'll accept that, but pause for a longer moment.]

Do you remember everything we did?

[deaddrop]

I remember dancing. Why?

[hypoxic]

I think I did more than that.

But I'm not sure who with.

[deaddrop]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[She's not surprised, but she is sorry.]

I don't think it was me. Last I remember was sending you back to the bar when you couldn't keep up.

[hypoxic]

They drugged us.

[It should be outrageous]

[deaddrop]

I noticed that.

Are you okay?

[hypoxic]

Going to have to be.

[deaddrop]

Not if you don't want to be.

You think it was one of the demons?

[hypoxic]

Maybe. They seemed eager to pull us out of ourselves.

[deaddrop]

Suppose it doesn't do much good guessing.

Did you get back down to the basement?

[hypoxic]

Haven't yet.

[He'd forgotten about the basement altogether.]

Still a bit disorientated.

[deaddrop]

You've had enough on your plate.

[hypoxic]

I think my girlfriend is here. Don't know when she might've arrived.

[deaddrop]

That's got to be comforting, even if you'd rather she weren't here.

[hypoxic]

It's complicated.

[deaddrop]

Want to talk about it?

[hypoxic]

You'd listen?

[deaddrop]

I offered, didn't I?

[hypoxic]

You did. I'm just not used to it.

You don't always take the time out.

[ He certainly sounds familiar even though they've only spoken a few times. ]

[deaddrop]

[It does seem like a strong generalization for someone she's only known a couple of months, even if he is from the same world.]

I have time now.

[hypoxic]

D'you want to take a walk? Still raining, but it looks like the fire's died down.

[deaddrop]

I'll get an umbrella.

[hypoxic]

Thanks. See you soon.

[He'll be downstairs to meet her, washed and looking more put together than he had been yesterday.]
