little bit cold here

[persequor]

[ Backdated to when this entry went up. Just imagine she had more filters in there and it was all one entry. Okay? Okay. ]

[ Hellboy ]
I still have your sword. If you want it back. [ She has Needle so she doesn't need it, but she's kind of attached to Allen the Sword now. ]

[ People kidnapped with me ]
I have the Really Useful Book. I don't think it works anymore. [ Which is sad. Because she's kind of attached to it. ] If anyone wants it, you can have it.

I gave it to Fred. If anyone wants to see it, ask her.

Fred

[persequor]

I'll meet you there.

Arya

[fredless]

[She'd been in her lab in the tower, so it doesn't take Fred too long to make her way down to the lobby. She's healed now, mostly. But there is something in her stride that suggests her leg is still bothering her]

[persequor]

[ Arya waits, book in hand. When she spots Fred, Arya meets her halfway. ]

Here.

[fredless]

[She looks down]

Are you sure you don't want to keep it?

[persequor]

I'm not going to use it.

[fredless]

We don't always use all the things we keep.

[persequor]

[ And then you end up with piles of useless things. Not Arya's style. She wags the bok a bit. ]

Do you want it?

[fredless]

[She nods, holds out her hand]

I'm glad you're alright.

[persequor]

[ She sets it in Fred's hand. ]

Thanks. [ She breaks off awkwardly before adding: ] I'm glad you are too.

[fredless]

[She accepts the book, pulling it close]

If you every need anything -- and it doesn't have to require running for our lives, mind you -- you'll let me know?

[persequor]

[ She nods and lies. ] I will.
