[ so, there's a lot going on lately, isn't there? after having been gone for a little while, marcos has been trying to catch up with everything that's gone on while he'd been away. it seems that the cassius thing is the big news and he has opinions on that but he's also got some other business to attend to. ]

so, i'm back. most people won't have noticed but if you did, i was gone for a little while, went home, got shot, came back, i'm fine.

[ long story short and all. ]

i know there's a lot going on and i'd hate to give people one more thing to think of but i'm gonna do it anyway. this is more an interest check than anything.

[ can't really move on anything now but with cassius looming like he is, it might be needed in the future. ]

there's a lot of people here that need help. and i want to help them. they've lost homes and needs safe places to stay, resources, that sort of thing. specifics will come later but i'm just trying to gauge if there's anyone out there that might want to do the same.

[ they couldn't all be soldiers and fighters and warriors, right? or maybe they could and marcos would go at it alone. that was fine too. he'd do it no matter what. ]

obviously, this could all be affected by whatever happens with these favors but i'm hoping cassius doesn't murder more people and call it 'necessary.' i'm not taking a favor, before anyone asks, but i can't fault anyone who does.

@ gaby, i'm back, by the way. i assume you might have noticed i was gone but i came back. seems like i did that to a few people. said something or promised something important and then disappeared. sorry.

if you drink my blood and then go back and do something stupid and die, you're going to come back as a vampire.

so don't die.

something stupid like you did when you were trying to save everyone and died?

[ he's held that back for awhile but it slips out this time. she's harping on what's happened to him but he hadn't died and she's hadn't mourned him. ]

i'll be careful. i don't want to die.

that's not fair.

[ besides, she chose to die for him, so it's different. ]

why is everything i do stupid but that's not?

i didn't say that!

[ everything he does is heroic and dangerous and it scares her because he's mortal and fragile and so, so important to her. ]

you said something pretty close to it.

if i get involved in a situation, it's because i want to help. i'm not assessing it for how dangerous it is and what might happen to me.

you don't do that, do you?

that's not what i meant.

[ it's a good thing this conversation is over text, because if they were in person, he might just see the way her eyes have begun to well up in frustration. ]

i don't think you're stupid, marcos. i think you're brave and kind and so much better of a person than i ever thought would ever like me.
i just don't want to lose you.

and i don't want to be lost.

so, that's not going to happen, okay? i'm not going to leave you and you're not going to lose me. i'm here.

okay.

[ he better not be lyin ]

if you promise.

i love you and i promise.
there are two very important people in my life.
you're one of them.

[ yes, she was on dawn's level at this point. it might have taken him a little time but his heart was hers to do with what she wanted. ]

i promise.

i love you too.

[ aw, you did it, marcos, you unlocked the chamber of secrets ]

go save the world, okay? you can tell me about it over dinner. :)
