[ dear lord, why is she smiling? ]

No one plans to die, Mel.

[ oh. that'd be why. smiling 'cause she's lying. ]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

[Which is met with an uneasy sort of glare thing. But whatever, she nods]

[ action ]

[herotypical]

Of course, if you do? Die here? You'll come back.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Heard, don't wanna test. [A beat] Got another tale?

[ action ]

[herotypical]

I'm guessing you probably want something a little less...dreary?

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Good for anything, Summers. You're the tale-teller.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

...Have you read about Sineya?

[ the first slayer. slayerous prime. ]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

[...] Not by that name. Think you brought it up before though.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

..The First Slayer. She visits -- those of us with the dreams, she visits us.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Oh. Heard about her, but not from the diaries.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

...I guess she's probably not in any. At least, none written during her time.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Kinda was even more ancient than you.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

...Kinda. [ understatement of the year. ]

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

...Jest, Summers.

[ action ]

[herotypical]

Don't sweat. I caught it.

[ action ]

[makeitquick]

Oh, good.
