[ IT'S A PHONE CALL. WERE YOU EXPECTING A CANDLE TO RING TONIGHT? WELL IT IS. ]

Uh. Hi?

[clocksandroses]

[ ...? ]

Ron! Hey, what's up?

[masterofmystery]

--Er. Well. That depends on what you're looking for, really. The Darkness has been lurking around a bit lately, but s'not exactly why I called you.

[clocksandroses]

I'm asking after you, silly.

[ peers at him through the flickering flames ]

Is everything okay?

[masterofmystery]

Yeah, well, it's a think that's going on you know. Darkness things. They happen.

[ HE SHRUGS? Uncertainly shifting as he glances away. ]

Suppose it's fine? Y'know? It should be better than fine-- but well I've decided I won't go home for a bit longer. So.

[clocksandroses]

I'm aware of that ...

But, does that mean you've gotten everything back?

[masterofmystery]

Somehow. Don't ask me how. Not that I've taken it.

[clocksandroses]

Uwa~! Congratulations, Ron!

[ SUPER PLEASED FOR YOU ]

You don't have to take them all right away if you don't want to, either. Go at your own pace.

[masterofmystery]

Thanks.

[ Still can't help but manage to look a little less sheepish at that, even if he's not sure how to feel himself. ]

There's not exactly a 'go at your own pace' at taking these ones back is there? I mean there's enough I know and then bits I don't. The worrying bit's how the war ends since I know that's started...


[ HE COULD BE DEAD AND THAT'S KIND OF TERRIFYING??? But no he would much rather be dead than have Fred be dead. ]

[clocksandroses]

Well, what I mean is that you don't have to take it before you feel ready.

[ There's understanding in her expression ]

If you're worried … would it help to have somebody with you, do you think?

[masterofmystery]

I don't usually much deny taking 'em. They just pile up quick until recently.

[ Though he sort of pales at that and shakes his head. ]

No. If someone else is there it seems I'm doomed from experience to have a bad one. I don't wanna chance that.

[clocksandroses]

Eh ...?

[ that doesn't sound so good ]

[masterofmystery]

[ Vaguely looks awaaay. ]



...The last time I took a memory with someone Hermione was tortured and there was nothing we could do to stop it. I don't have a good track record of being with people and not having an awful time of it.

[clocksandroses]

[ OH

WELL

... Shit. ]

R-Ron ... [ She can't really argue against that, can she? ] If you did remember more bad things, do you think you'd be able to handle them better alone?

[masterofmystery]

I dunno. But it's better than worrying someone over something that can't be fixed, innit?
