We can start a list of future goals and add that to top of it.

Demon hunting and soul summoning.

Is this the kind of superhero work you thought you would be doing, ever...?

Re: after

[spinebuddyandme]

...I didn't really think about it before I had Scarab. When I was little sometimes my friends and I would play pretend, but we were always stopping aliens or a human with super powers or something. Rescuing people and then flying away to celebrate in our "secret base" and stuff.

[ Dryly ] If we have a party now, it'd be a little bit like that.

If Aides is allowed to ground me into spa relaxation, am I theoretically allowed to ground others into celebrating at a secret base...?

Re: after

[ Laughs! ]

I don't think that's how grounding normally works, but we can make an exception in this case.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

Mm. Everyone is grounded, myself very much included.

Sleep and enjoyable home activities today only.

I like the sound of that. Both Daffodil and Bluebell already offered to help us out with anything we might need when you're back, so we've got no excuses to go anywhere.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

That is kind of them.

[he hadn't quite expected Daffodil, but -- he knows Crois is fond of Ananke, and Muffin of Lethe, and Aides had stayed over there after the bomb ritual -- okay you know what Daffodil is legit]

I...am not good for much but rest once we're back, though, I'm afraid.

[the admission is a little bit pained. but he's not so prideful he can't self-assess and know he's just thoroughly mcfucked mentally, as much as he wants to immediately just get caught up and get back to something like normalcy.]

You are all right with keeping things in hand a bit longer?

Re: after

[spinebuddyandme]

[ He'd expected this, but had been prepared to argue to keep the staff a little longer. It sparks an ache in his chest to hear Charon admit it so easily.

He leans back to look at him, smiling warmly (not quite successful at hiding the concern there) ]

I can handle it. I've got the rest of Lily to help me out if anything else really happens.

Re: after

[his expression softens, a little, under that smile]

Thank you, Ananke.

Re: after

[ Lays a fond hand on his head ]

No problem. You just focus on recovering.
