[ ...all right. This is one of the strangest conversations d'Artagnan's had here, and considering the content of some of the others, that's saying something. ]
FROM: wilson.simon@cdc.org Haven't you tried it? You should. Even if you can't use the cockpit, you can climb up the wheels. It's lovely up here.
[Admittedly, its crevices are still a bit caked in vomit from the shai, and even blood from the harpies way back when. But it's distant from everything, and it's as quiet as it can be, with the statue ticking, and Mochi still wailing. Worth braving the mist for.
A leader should know people's aptitudes. That's why Simon texted D'Artagnan, of all people. But he's learning more, too, since the answer could have been yes or no. A little late, perhaps.]
FROM: wilson.simon@cdc.org Don't get uncomfortable, now. Just take care of Mochi. He has a black collar.
[ Yes. That would be horrifically embarrassing, we wouldn't want that.
He doesn't text back, but he ill go and get the madu now. if Simon's still on top ofthe rover when he gets there, d'Artagnan will roll his eyes and give him a little wave. Don't mind him, he's only doing what you asked. ]
[Expect a half-hearted little wave in return. People who insist on doing the right thing, on protecting the vulnerable—they make Simon's sinuses itch. Especially today.]

Just don't fall off.
[ Which is code for, he thinks you're a little bit crazy. He did already know that, though. ]
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
I'll come and get it him now. How long do you think your friend will be?
no subject
I think if he's gone too long, Mochi will find him.
Thank you.
["A little bit" might be understating it. But he always means well. That's the problem.]
no subject
You're welcome.
Try not to fall off the roof in the meantime.
no subject
I'll do my utmost.
