[she hesitates]

... Yeah.

[she remembers how bad it was; how it made him hurt all the time]

[falkeditupagain]

Well, that's what happens when these..[And he pokes his chest where he knows one of the runes are.] Don't work like they should.

They're kind of like batteries that...well. [he shifts a little under her.]

They keep me ticking.

[dicey]

It's kind of scary.

[falkeditupagain]

Fuck yeah it is. [He sighs, holding her close.]

I'd rather not die.

[dicey]

[holding him close right back; there is definite clinging action going on here]

I'd rather you not die, either. I want you ticking.

[falkeditupagain]

Well, not ticking. That's what that creepy clock guy does.

I can...well. Beat, I guess. Because that's what my heart does.

[dicey]

[she presses her ear closer to his chest]

I can hear your heartbeat, too.

[falkeditupagain]

Well, here's hoping it does that for a long time.

[dicey]

[perches her chin up on his chest so she can look him in the eye]

It will.

[falkeditupagain]

[He'll just wink at her.]

I won't worry then.

[dicey]

I'm still going to watch the network in case anyone finds lambs.

[and when the event ends without the firstborn dying, she'll be overjoyed and relieved]
