We missed you.

I missed you. I’m glad you’re back with us, Rupert.

[ It feels as though it's been months -- longer, maybe. As if he's rediscovering the world all over again. Perhaps he is. Seeing her name brings back a wash of memory, like colour infusing a blank canvas. ]

I'm glad to be back. I think. It's rather difficult to tell what I'm feeling in the present moment.

Are you well? I hope you haven't been hurt.

[nightsung]

Would you like me to look you over? If no one else with medical expertise has, yet.

I’m all right. [ A pause, trying to decide how to broach this particular strangeness. ]

I was punished for cheating in the game.

[ripher]

I would appreciate that. There's some scarring. [ 😐 ]

You were cheating?

[nightsung]

I can be there soon. I won’t be surprised if Stephen wants to have a look at you, as well.

Jinx and I went after Saber outside the bounds of the rules, since we had reason to believe he attacked someone else.

You’ll see my punishment soon enough, I suppose.

[ripher]

[ A lot to process here. Which one is Jinx again? ]

You went after Saber?

[nightsung]

Yes.

Some of the boys got to him first, unfortunately.

[ripher]

I see. Is that what you had intended to do to him?
