I think we should all meet up on a monthly basis to go over any useful information. Weekly is too much — I'm not looking for that kind of commitment. While this... correspondence can provide use, does anyone else feel more comfortable face-to-face? Not relying on this thing to discuss our secrets?

[ She doesn't understand it, really. Barely understands how to utilize it to communicate. So... here comes the challenge: showing her discomfort without feeling vulnerable. ]

I'll buy the first round of drinks if the lot of you agree.

And good company, right? I can always forget to send you the location of our meet up.

[ Teasing. LOOK, THEY'RE ON A LOWKEY TEASING KINDA FLIRTY LEVEL? ]

[retravel]

[ CIRI YOU CAD ]

But then how will I pay for the second round?
For the good company in question.

[persists]

By asking nicely.

[retravel]

[ how come every woman owns his dumb ass ]

For the record, I started this conversation by complimenting your idea.

[ that's nice! ]

[persists]

You're right, I should show more appreciation. After all, you wounded yourself for my accord — I'm forever in your debt.

[ SOMEONE TEACH HER EMOJIS SO SHE CAN ;) ]

private.

[retravel]

Well, I'm game for future experiments, as you know.

[ fitz don't be so literal. she also isn't going to let you slice open your entire fucking arm just to see what happens!! ]

But if you ever need anything, you can find me at:

[ he sends a gps pin of team shield's apartment. ]

I live with Daisy and Katelin, if you know them.

[ WHAT A NICE GESTURE. Ciri isn't sure what to do with it, but — ]

I've spoken with Daisy before but not the other. Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.

[ Even if she's fantasy!British, she's still proper with her appreciation. ]

Once I have my own place, it's yours as well.

[retravel]

[ awwww. ]

I appreciate it, Ciri.

[ Fitz doesn't have his person here, so he's trying to make connections like he used to before it became — harder. Complicated. Being alone isn't good for him. Maybe it isn't good for any of them. ]

Are you finding everything alright?

[ fussy but sincere!!! ]

[persists]

[ It's not. It took a long conversation with Keith for her to feel at ease to even think this ... gathering was an acceptable idea.

She's use to being alone — people don't die for her when she's alone. ]

As alright as it can be given the circumstances. I've handled worse, you needn't worry about my comfort.

[retravel]

What are friends for?

[ an automatic reply, although ciri is among the few he'd label as such. ]
