Cold like...wet?

[Hmm.]

Was anybody else with you? How come you weren't in the library this time?

[oathic]

I was hiding! So that no one could steal anything from me this time.

[burningrescue]

Were you by yourself?

[oathic]

Yepyep.

[burningrescue]

Super suspicious!

[It's Galo, so he'll just be blunt.]

Hope you're not a werespider or something, man.

[oathic]

Why is it suspicious? I have no roommates or curfew friends!

[a beat.]

Uh, I was definitely not a werespider. Or a were anything, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be a spider of all things.

[burningrescue]

I'd be your curfew friend.

[He's instantly distracted from his wild accusations and is sympathetic instead.]

We were trying to hunt down the werefish this week and trap her before curfew, but we got stuck in the library instead. But you coulda come if you wanted to.

[oathic]

[galo, why are you such a good bean...]

Oh, I appreciate the offer! By the way, that reminds me—I wanted to thank you.

[burningrescue]

Thank me?

[He's unsure exactly what he means.]

[oathic]

For protecting Brilith earlier this week.

[burningrescue]

Oh. [He adopts an 'aww shucks' head scratch for that.] No problem! I wouldn't say I protected her, just did my best to look out for the team!

[oathic]

Still, I appreciate it. You're a really good guy, you know that?

[burningrescue]

Thanks. [He's not actually embarrassed; he just likes compliments a lot.] Well, I wouldn't want Brilith or anyone else to get hurt!

[oathic]

Then, please continue to look out for her.

[burningrescue]

You can count on me.

[Considering this for a second.]

So, if you guys are that close, how come she's not your curfew buddy?

[oathic]

Brilith has always stayed in her room with her roommates.
