[00:04]  * Lyra_Bel sits down at the bottom of the chasm, head in hands
[00:05]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies over
[00:05]  * Alexander_Pyrite slowly walks over, unsure and unexperienced
[00:05] <Alexander_Pyrite> "h-hey"
[00:05] <Lyra_Bel> "R'you gonna make me apologize?"
[00:05] <Alexander_Pyrite> "No"
[00:05] <Alexander_Pyrite> "not really my style"
[00:06] <Lyra_Bel> "Then what do you want?"
[00:06]  * Alexander_Pyrite is silent for a few seconds
[00:06] <Alexander_Pyrite> "To help, i guess"
[00:07] <Lyra_Bel> "Why?"
[00:07]  * Alexander_Pyrite makes a sound as if to speak but does not
[00:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You..."
[00:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Deserve it, I think"
[00:08] <Lyra_Bel> "I just threw one of the lowest blows that are even possible right now"
[00:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You're fucked up"
[00:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> "We all are"
[00:08] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You just arent handling it as well, i guess"
[00:08] <Lyra_Bel> "Great"
[00:09] <Alexander_Pyrite> "sorry, not helping probably"
[00:09] <Lyra_Bel> "It's Sabath, there's no such thing as help"
[00:09] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Fuck sabath"
[00:10] <Alexander_Pyrite> "its no excuse not to help our- friends"
[00:10] <Lyra_Bel> "One step forward, five miles back"
[00:11] <Lyra_Bel> "You here means something's going horrible somewhere else, which you could have prevented"
[00:11] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Why do you say that? Just because of your pessimism and the game?"
[00:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> "How could i have gotten anywhere else?"
[00:12] <Lyra_Bel> "You have wings.  Fly or something"
[00:12] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I barely got here intact" (Lie) "I cant risk breaking my legs again"
[00:13] <Lyra_Bel> "But no trouble flying down, eh?"
[00:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Alright, might have been a lie, these wings are pretty cool"
[00:13] <Alexander_Pyrite> "But you need help more than anything I can think of"
[00:14] <Alexander_Pyrite> "even if im not good at giving it"
[00:15] <Lyra_Bel> "Fine.  You're here.  You've just cornered the one person keeping you from being friends with an all-powerful NPC"
[00:15] <Alexander_Pyrite> "what do you think im going to force you to become friends with it?"
[00:16] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I dont really know what I meant to do when i flew down here, but you need it, so here i am"
[00:16] <Lyra_Bel> "Not what I was getting at"
[00:16] <Lyra_Bel> "But sure"
[00:17]  * Lyra_Bel is silent for a bit
[00:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Alex?"
[00:18] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah?"
[00:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Earlier, you said you were lying about being fine.  Does, uh, does that include not being mad about the gate thing?"
[00:19] <Lyra_Bel> "I assumed not, because you said you did it so I wouldn't be worried, which you wouldn't care about if you were mad at me.  But I'm pretty bad with people as it turns out, so..."
[00:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> "No, Im actually fine with the gate thing. You didnt know I was just going to drop, and it looked like you were planning on going through, until..."
[00:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> "whatever happened"
[00:20] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Plus nick found me and i was fine"
[00:20] <Lyra_Bel> "But..."
[00:20] <Lyra_Bel> "How can you seriously not be angry about me almost killing you?"
[00:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "You didnt mean to almost kill me"
[00:21] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Plus im a fairly forgiving person"
[00:22] <Lyra_Bel> "Then you're crazier than I am"
[00:22]  * Alexander_Pyrite laughs
[00:22] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Maybe..."
[00:22]  * Alexander_Pyrite sits next to lyra
[00:23] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm just so tired"
[00:23] <Lyra_Bel> "It's been a week"
[00:23] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Since you slept?"
[00:23] <Lyra_Bel> "How can someone keep going that long?"
[00:24] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Adrenaline, I guess?"
[00:24] <Lyra_Bel> "Not about the sleep"
[00:24] <Lyra_Bel> "It's about the chance to REST"
[00:25]  * Alexander_Pyrite stands up and looks around
[00:25] <Alexander_Pyrite> "We're alone"
[00:25] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Lets just relax here"
[00:25] <Lyra_Bel> "And topside, Carl's heading a TPK"
[00:25] <Lyra_Bel> "Too much to do"
[00:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "No."
[00:26] <Alexander_Pyrite> "dont think about that"
[00:27] <Alexander_Pyrite> "just... chill"
[00:27] <Lyra_Bel> "I can't, I still need to do all the other stuff"
[00:27]  * Alexander_Pyrite sits back down infront of her
[00:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "No you dont"
[00:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "We've been here a week"
[00:28] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Just an hour wont hurt"
[00:29] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm not changing my mind"
[00:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "No, i will hold your feet down so you cant get away"
[00:30] <Alexander_Pyrite> "you need to chill"
[00:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Waiting an hour won't make me suddenly happy to have another artifact that hates me"
[00:31] <Lyra_Bel> "Even with the added caveat of hating everyone else too"
[00:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "doesnt matter"
[00:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "no offense, but most already hate you"
[00:32] <Lyra_Bel> "Oh, I know"
[00:32] <Lyra_Bel> "But I figure whatever one Tarane's got doesn't know me yet, so at least it's not unanimous among them"
[00:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "And that fact wont change in an hour"
[00:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Relax"
[00:33]  * Lyra_Bel sighs
[00:33] <Alexander_Pyrite> "just lay down and chill"
[00:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Fine.  One hour only."
[00:33]  * Alexander_Pyrite sighs in relief
[00:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Then dealing with this mess"
[00:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Of course"
[00:34]  * Alexander_Pyrite lays on the cold stone ground
[00:40]  * Alexander_Pyrite starts to fall asleep
[00:42]  * Lyra_Bel drifts off as well, as the past day's exhaustion finally starts to catch up to her
[00:42]  * Alexander_Pyrite falls asleep
[00:42]  * Lyra_Bel falls asleep
