[ Vyng's shoulders shake with quiet laughter. ]

That it does, my friend. And during such times, I remember these wise words from days of old... [ He gives a sage, serene smile. ]

Leaves of three, let them be.

Well, if he had touched it...I'll bet he'd remember for next time.

[ Sometimes fucking up is the quickest way to learn. Like the time he almost got trampled to death as a kid because he looked a caribou in the eyes. ]
spiritwalks: (You'll be happy all the time)

Ahahah, true enough! Kiiiinda hard to stay on the look-out for trouble when someone's loudly complaining about the poison ivy you let him touch, am I right?

[ Is...Vyng talking from personal experience? Maybe. ]

Lucky for him, he had you for a guide.

[ Vyng notices the shift in Qrow's demeanor. But he barely registers what he just said, much less why it might hit a nerve. Because he was more concerned with the feeling behind it.

A sincere sentiment, in other words — clumsily packaged inside a careless, offhanded phrase. ]


You're selling yourself short, buddy. If I had to pick a guide, it'd totally be you. Hands down. Wouldn't even think twice about it.

Glad Glitch is okay. I need him one piece
Owe him a headlock for being a jerk on his post. After he's healed up anyway.


[ guess what's happening!!! exactly the thing he does not want to happen!! ]

Uncle Qrow.
I asked about you too.

[ because you're family, that's why, and yang has to have some outlet for being crazy out of her head with worry. ]

Yeah, you weren't.
But you were the one went up an unexplored mountain on little to no information to save their butts although you know Ruby is a trained Huntress.
So yeah. I'm asking about you.
thepunshow: (outta my way cause i'm armed and ready)

[ yang was spared seeing ruby's ghost, but in the aftermath of ruby's death it's the silence of the house that eats away at her, the stillness of the dead of the night that makes her dread what would happen if she were ever taken away again.

how it would break yang, again.
]

Maybe they didn't have Auras and they all of them might not be the best at it.
But they can fight.


[ a pause in the messages for a minute or two as she thinks of the best way to say this. ]

It's alright to admit you were worried.
spiritwalks: (Fly)

[personal profile] spiritwalks 2020-10-03 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Someone" like me? More options?

[ A flat tone creeps into Vyng's voice too. Partly because he doesn't exactly appreciate being called one — but the majority of it comes from feeling like he missed a step in this weird dance they've got going on: Stay away. Let's be friends. Not too close, now. One two three, one two three...

But people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And to be honest, Vyng would rather figure out where the misstep happened to begin with. Because he clearly did something wrong. ]


Care to explain what you mean there, pal?

We could both go crazy with the 'what ifs' yeah.
I'm just going to say I trust you to do whatever it takes to keep Ruby safe.
We can leave it at that, and I'll leave the bottle where the grapes were.
I'll drop it off around sunset tonight, and be in touch.

Well, since you asked.
Besides giving you a random antidote that Sodder gave me.
I'm giving a second to Emerald, who is with me regularly.
She gets a tranquilizer dart just in case since that was there too.
I've got a full supply of that incense shit for next month, should cover my apartment.
That Eddie brat was clear that it works.
I'm keeping an eye out for the slightest hint of things affecting the mind and avoiding it like the plague.
I'm prepared to turn myself into FEAR if I have to.

Just so we're clear?
I don't plan to leave this to you.
I'm giving you the antidote as a sign of trust, Qrow.


[He gets a text message on the 2nd of October in addition that says "Do Not Drink The Blood. It's driving Michael Loopy." But that can be handwaved. ^.~]

That IS the game plan, yes.
Turn myself in while still sane if there's a solid reason to suspect a problem.
Possibly dose myself with the antidote beforehand to ensure I can't use illusions to get out for as long as it lasts.
And while I know that you feel a need to remind me, I will state for the record that I'm well aware what's at stake here.

I don't WANT to kill your niece again.
I don't want to hurt her or so much as touch her.
So yes, you're absolutely clear, and I assume you and the whole damned family, friends and about a tenth of the sleeper population will come after my ass if it happens again.
Trust me, Qrow, that is one thing I'm absolutely crystal clear on, and I have no issues with that fact, because that's exactly how I expect you to feel right now.

So, anyway?
Antidote.
On your porch.
Call me if you need me.
