Week 2, Tuesday - Varian, Steph

[It's pretty late when Ion hears about what happened--or, not what happened so much as evidence that a thing happened on two people who he really cares about! A lot of people area really putting themselves through insanity today, it seems. Ion, wheezing and exhausted in his haste, finds Varian as soon as he can.

The damage is...horrifying, I'm sure, even if someone has temporarily bandaged him by this point.]

--Varian! You have to let me help!

[He can't leave him like that!]

[ the years that the chicken house didn't knock off her, ion is. ]

Okay. Well. There's not much we can do about that now, unless the well would be kind enough to undo that.

[ is this how Varian's dad felt at all times. this is horrible. ]

There's a high chance even if it did, it would give back all the pain you missed out on at once.

[ and that would be... Bad ]

Just... Check yourself periodically? Or. Make one of us do it. You could get wounded somehow and never even notice.

Right.

[He absolutely does not want to think about that reality. This...this is fine.]

I'll be more careful about it from now on. I hadn't even thought about other injuries...

And like Varian said, we're both willing to help you check to see if you have anything you don't know about.

[ they. probably need to do this anyway because of the strip searches during trial. ]

[ don't strip the children ]

And also because we happen to be some of the very few people who know how bodies work in this place.

[ THATS NOT A GOOD THING ]

[HE FEELS DUMB, BUT SHOULD FEEL DUMB, AND HE RECOGNIZES THIS.]

Maybe I can find something to study in the library. I'm sorry...I thought I was helping, but I just made so much more trouble for both of you.
