On the contrary, we are very much awake, and very much unable to cross to this side - no matter how long we search.

[foodbin]

...Well, that sounds pretty terrifying.

[cyclists]

We have been able to reach this side each week after some time - of course, only after it is too late to save anyone.

I suppose that is the intention.

[foodbin]

Wow. I'm honestly not sure whether that's more or less frustrating than sleeping through it.

[cyclists]

Certainly it does not sit well with myself or the young one...

But regardless, we will try each week to accomplish what we may.

[foodbin]

Yeah. It seems like you're doing everything you can.

[cyclists]

Certainly we are.

Though... I worry still that it may be taking a bit of a toll on the young one. He has endured quite a bit here.

[foodbin]

[She sighs.]

...I probably shouldn't have snapped at him.

[cyclists]

You were only doing your best as well, were you not?

[they don't sound irritated, at least.]

If you would like to return to his good side, he is rather fond of ice cream.

[is lune conspiring to get people to be nicer to his grandson?





yea]

[foodbin]

[She pauses.]

Mint chocolate chip, right?

[cyclists]

I had not even known that was a flavor. How interesting...

[there is a laugh]

Or share your own favorite flavor with him, and I think he would be pleased to make a friend.

[foodbin]

You don't think he's the type to hold a grudge?

[cyclists]

Not when approached sincerely.

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

Good to know. Thanks, Lune.

[cyclists]

Of course, of course.

I only ask that you perhaps gently remind others that the young one is... after all, very young, if they sound too cross with him.

[foodbin]

...Can you tell me how old he is, or is that a no?

[cyclists]

I believe that is a question best answered by him, if you are able to gently lead the conversation to it.

[foodbin]

Does he not like talking about it, or...?

[cyclists]

[there is a soft laugh]

He is young enough to be considered inexperienced by others in some ways - but simply offer him the benefit of the doubt if you do speak with him about it.

I believe that he is perfectly capable of helping you all, and could not ask for a better partner in this.

[foodbin]

Got it. Don't be condescending or make him feel insecure.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Did you know each other before this...?

[cyclists]

[a shake of their head]

We became acquainted in the two weeks before the rest of you arrived.

It was very peaceful, and he was so very full of questions.

[foodbin]

...I wouldn't expect it to be peaceful. Although, I guess it would be hard to tell anything was wrong here if we just judging by the location.
