( "we saw you. . ."

they saw her. he saw her. by far, that is one of the most important things that hunter has revealed to her today. she hadn't sealed the fate of the boiling isles by getting caught up in this bullroar convergence and hadn't effectively assisted in a genocide as a result. she had spent the last couple of days with that fear sitting in the back of her mind, festering like rot. afraid she had left everyone wide open.

festering, festering, festering. )


Oh. So I still make it?

( her voice quivers despite her best efforts. relief has started to hit her like a tidal wave, strong and overpowering. she cannot stop the way her eyes well up with tears, some of them already starting to rush down her face. immediately, in an attempt to save face, she yanks the cereal box upwards to block the view of her face.

despite the fact that she is audibly crying, sniffling all the while.

there's a moment then an exhale, followed by a soft thunk. much like eda leaned her forehead into the cereal box. because that's exactly what happened. )


Whew!

( exclaimed hastily, as if moving on will cause to hunter to abruptly forget what he just saw. )

What's with this "potentially"? I taught him to survive. He'll be fine.

( eda tries to sound steady as she speaks. like she really believes it. to a degree, she does. she believes that king will do his best, that he will stall, and get his way to someone who can help. she also believes that luz would rip through the ground itself to get her way back to the demon realm. it's the collector that she doesn't know or could even begin to understand.

he moved the moon?

she almost wants to ask if hunter is joking, but she couldn't imagine such a straight-laced kid even considering the idea.

no, he'd told her so much. including why the spell must have failed. )


And so will we. If you saw me then that means we make it back.

( the cartoon tucan on the cereal box looks back at hunter cheerily. )
