[It's not even remotely okay, but he knows a dismissal when he hears one, even if part of him wants to keep pushing it.]

I mean, you cast the spell and the world fucking dropped away to some white bullshit. Kinda guessed that's a success.

[He doesn't remember being killed; he definitely took more than a few hits, but it wasn't like dying from bleeding out, more just... a sudden nothingness. Maybe from being trapped in the bubble with the Hunger.]

Okay.

(It sounds positive enough, but does she dare to let herself hope for a victory over the Hunger from her respective point in the timeline? Lucretia glances at the coffee table and picks up the second shot that Taako had poured for her earlier (during a moment that now feels like it was a lifetime ago), downing it in one. She's dealing with a lot of conflicting emotions right now and knowing that she will successfully cast her altered shield spell when the time finally calls for it is adding excited into the mix, something she feels a bit badly for.

Her next statement is tentative, testing the waters.)

That's... good, then.

[He can't do this.

This isn't the first time he's run from something, it isn't even the first time he's run from this, and he's sure it won't be the last, but right now he can't sit here and talk about - about any of this.

There's just one thing he has to know.]

When? When is it, for you?

(She can sense that he's close to snapping. He's locked up on the couch beside her like he's torn between fight or flight and since she won't allow him to come at her, the second option is the only one that stands. He'll be gone soon, and who knows when she'll next see him face-to-face? He is part of her heart, and Lucretia has known him for far too long to not know exactly how this will go. If he truly doesn't want her to see him, then she won't.

It's so hard. The ache of knowing he's here after so long without contact from any of them burns her in the most complex of ways. She has missed him, so dearly.)

Wonderland. (She supplies, and folds her hands in her lap.) I just escaped from Wonderland.

Barry's fucking bell.

[And Cam, and the liches who now remind him of himself and Lup in all the wrong ways. Like what they could've ended up if Lup wasn't as kind as she was, if he was a little more selfish, if things had ever been a little more desperate.

But now he knows, and that's all he wanted. That's all he could handle, right now.

Without another word, only one last glance at Lucretia, Taako disappears.]
