I love finding myself in terrible alternate lifetimes and then being murdered, so same here, fine.

[He's joking but also maybe calling him out a little on the 'fine' thing.]

[withmeinparadise]

that happen to you a lot?

[lifetothefullest]

Not really, just once on one each thing but not at the same time.

[withmeinparadise]

fair

[lifetothefullest]

[He hesitates briefly, trying to decide how and if he wants to approach what he thinks is the real issue, but eventually--]

Kyna's okay, if she's who you're actually worried about and you wanted to make sure someone would be around to look out for her.

[withmeinparadise]

[ There's a pause on his end, too, a fairly long one, but hey, good guess, Lance, because eventually: ]

don't tell her i was asking about her.

[lifetothefullest]

I won't.

[And in turn he doesn't want to directly say that Kyna told him about her argument with Sam, but he also wants to say something to help, so--]

Whatever's going on, we're all kind of stressed out right now. In a few days it'll probably be easier to handle.

[withmeinparadise]

told you, i'm fine. kyna though, she's not doing too bad? don't let her work too hard.

[lifetothefullest]

She's doing okay. I think she's been helping at Red Wings.

[Just saying.]

[withmeinparadise]

sounds like her

[lifetothefullest]

What about you? What have you been doing since you got back?

[withmeinparadise]

tearing down vines around here. what about you?

[lifetothefullest]

Trying to help with some of the people who've returned who aren't doing as well.

[withmeinparadise]

good for you.

[lifetothefullest]

We're all doing what we can. Clearing vines is just as important as anything else.

[withmeinparadise]

yeah yeah. don't gotta convince me

[lifetothefullest]

I'm just saying.

Nate went to New Tokyo to greet the new arrivals, right?

[withmeinparadise]

yeah.

[lifetothefullest]

Any particular reason you didn't go yourself?

[withmeinparadise]

not you too. look. other people can handle that.

[lifetothefullest]

I'm not saying you should've gone, I just thought you might want the opportunity to get out of the city for a bit.

[withmeinparadise]

just spent weeks outside the city.

[lifetothefullest]

I guess that's true.

[And a pause, because he wants to ask but he also doubts it'll go over well, but there has to be some reason Sam is still talking to him, right? Still, he holds off for now, instead trying--]

It wasn't exactly a return to normalcy coming back, though.

[withmeinparadise]

greener than we left it.

[lifetothefullest]

Apparently all this overgrowth first happened right after people found themselves in the other alternate world, Zerzura. Could be coincidence, but it seems a little more than that.
