[Between the resting and sleeping and resting some more, it doesn't take long for Blue to reach a state of boredom. Her fever hasn't relented, and standing up is still a dizzying experience, to say nothing of the fatigue. So in lieu of any physical activities she can do, she settles for sending cryptic communications...]
[Wasn't she only JUST playing the bird with the hurt wing? Back to pew pew DIE etc already. Though of course in her case, it's no longer exactly playing.]
Not spite. But I would play.
Though I half expected you to ask for, what was it last time you said you were unwell? Soup and stories?
That time wasn't real, at least. I wouldn't know about any others.
[Not like now. But he is, SO generously and intuitively, offering her the chance to play in the space instead of marinate in that reality, because he is getting an A+ in friendship. What he's not offering is actual soup or stories, but that's obvious.]
Claiming victory over a contest without participating is poor sportsmanship. Go on, try for yourself. I'll watch.
Sadly, I doubt my nurse will approve of construction projects while I'm recuperating. I do feel badly for him. I'm sure he has plenty of ways he'd rather be spending his time than caring for me.
What, his little friends? He'll be fine. He was very anxious when you were injured, he won't have forgotten so soon. Don't let him know it concerns you or he might ask me for a raise.
I think you would-- if you could, but you wouldn't accomplish as much as I have.
[Is she even sorry about it? Hard to tell. Maybe the risk seems less, now that she's partially recovered. Maybe it was never about the risk in the first place.]
[She absolutely doesn't have to address how worried Cat was about her, though.]
He deserves a raise. You'd best be paying him what he's worth. (As if he'd work for anything less.)

What's your opinion of the Zhenniao?

But no, I was hoping you'd compliment me, actually. Don't you think I'd make a good one?
no subject
Probably an easier sell than phoenix. Is that a compliment?
no subject
If not a compliment, it's very funny. You should suggest it. I hear they like to eat fei¹, and I think your lotus would enjoy that.

I don't need to tell you he will not. I've already been called a chicken, but at least that's higher than a bug.
no subject
How unkind, though. Did he call you that, or did I?
no subject
I would remember if you did. It's concerning that you aren't sure, yourself.
no subject
It is a little difficult to recall, I'll admit. I feel as though I've called you quite a few things, or at least I've thought of them.
Have I worried you? You could pay me a visit and set your mind at ease, you know.
no subject
Would it be fair to play against you like this?

Lunacy notwithstanding, of course.

Will you play with me? We'll need a board.
no subject
I said I would. And fortunately, I have a board.
no subject
You do. Will your lotus complain if you bring it? (Has he forgotten where it came from, I wonder?)
no subject
That's beyond my scope as liaison. But I doubt he's forgotten.
no subject
Good. I find it funny, to know he has little reminders of me. You can bring yours or fetch mine, whichever suits you.
no subject
If he were any more reminded I would have to issue a formal complaint.
[He doesn't even have a seal for that. Isn't that funny.]
no subject
I'll assemble a suggestion box for these complaints. You'll know it by the wind chime I plan to attach to it.
no subject
WOW. The victories aren't even THAT rare bffrrn]It's true. I wasn't bested by a tree, for one.
Staying busy will be good for your recovery. I could even bring you supplies, if I decided to fetch your board instead.
