I'm putting starters in comments so I have a header for each character and get comments only sent to them instead of getting double comment notifs.

Also, if you'd like to work out a wildcard option, PM me or send a private plurk to megoom and we can play around with ideas.

Then they should simply try to go on as normal, and hope more clues arise that can lead towards a solution.

"Yes, all right. I do not think I can focus anymore tonight, and I would prefer not to be alone." In case there's another incident.

"We should tell someone. Not that I'm gonna throw shade on Faith or anything, but maybe she's wrong? And at the very least, someone should check in on you now and then."

That someone might just be him, though.

Christine hesitates, not wanting anything big to come of this, but it can't hurt to bring one more person into the fold.

"I will talk to Sam. He saw me stumble last week, but I told him it was nothing. I will let him examine me."

[motherfucking_ghost]

"Please? It'd make me feel a lot better. If it's just me, and I don't know what the fuck to do, then what if I mess something up, you know? We don't have to make a big deal of it, just...maybe it'll go away, but. Ugh. Too many unknowns."

[aceso]

"You would not mess anything up. I do not have to know what this is to know that." Christine brushes fingers back through his hair, torn between thinking it's a good thing he knows, and thinking it has only put a burden on him now too. She hadn't wanted him to worry about this, especially since there are so many unknowns. It will only be a frustration to them both.

"You only say that cuz I'm so cute when I look all worried." Jokes! That's the way to make it through this sudden crisis, as with any crishs. Jokes.

"Maybe just don't keep stuff like that from me in the future, okay? If you're worried about something, I wanna know. I'm your boyfriend."

Christine releases a slow breath through her nose, looking him over carefully. She knows he's trying to lighten the mood because it's how he deals with things. He shouldn't have to deal with this strange occurrence in her life.

"I suppose I thought if I could bury it deep enough, I could ignore it and it would go away. Then I would never have to worry you over nothing." She smooths a hand across his jaw. "I do not like worrying you, even if you do look cute." She swallows the lump threatening to form in her throat.

"But I will not keep things from you in the future, even if they might be nothing."

[motherfucking_ghost]

"It's obviously not nothing now. So." They say doctors make the worst patients, the same has gotta be true here. "I don't like having to worry about whether my girl's gonna freeze up in the middle of a fight or in the middle of anything, but I'd much rather worry about you than...than not know and then something happens to you and I didn't know. You know?"

It's very true in this case. She would much rather take care of others in need than admit to being in need herself. That would mean she's not perfect at all times, and Christine hates admitting to that.

"Yes," she answers, feeling rather ashamed of herself for hiding this. But she wanted it to be nothing. She has her future all planned out and though she keeps telling herself that things could happen to throw all that into an uproar, clearly she didn't believe it until now. What if she doesn't stand overlooking a scenic valley in the Frostbacks someday where she's living as an Avvar? What if she becomes bedridden and Church has to take care of her? It's a frightening thought, and one she can't allow to happen.

"I promise, I will talk to Sam tomorrow. For tonight, let's just go home."
