"If you're gonna leave a message you gotta leave some
info too, don't just say 'call me back' because I'll think

Are you and Ronan ok?

[Okay in this case meaning 'not sick' rather than 'emotionally stable' since everyone knows that is not a possibility.]

[unknowable]

Yeah. Neither of us got sick. Are you ok?

1/2

[casperdisaster]

Not sick. Showered as soon as I got back and junked the clothes I was wearing just to be safe.

[It was a generic set of pants and shirt from the first cache, no real loss except now that's one less outfit in an already limited selection.]

[Next text, right after the first]

I'm sorry for leaving. I thought I would make it worse.

[unknowable]

It's all right. You shouldn't let Ronan get to you. He doesn't know how to express himself except through anger.

[casperdisaster]

I know. He gets angry so he doesn't have to be sad. He was still right, though.

[unknowable]

No, he wasn't. Why do you think that?

[casperdisaster]

I had just thought since we were both there and ok that it was ok but 3 weeks later Gansey is dead. What if he comes back and dies again? I can't let that happen.

[unknowable]

You being here and Gansey dying aren't connected. If it were, don't you think it would have happened a lot sooner? Like you said, it's been three weeks.

[casperdisaster]

But if I was a ghost again we'd know it wouldn't be connected because it couldn't be.

[unknowable]

You think it's connected because you're afraid and guilty. Stop for a minute and think about it. You're still dead, aren't you? You're a ghost in a body. All that's changed is that now you have a vessel. How would that kill Gansey?

[casperdisaster]

Maybe Glendower thinks it's cheating.

[unknowable]

Glendower doesn't get an opinion. He's asleep. Would you like me to ask Cabeswater and see what it says? Because it hasn't been telling me that your body needs to be taken away.

[casperdisaster]

Don't scry you'll end up dead too

[unknowable]

I don't need to scry to know that it doesn't want your body taken away. If that was a priority, it would've tried to tell me already. You're fine, Noah. This wasn't your fault.

[casperdisaster]

Ronan thinks it is.

[unknowable]

This may shock you, but Ronan isn't always right about everything, especially when he's angry.

[casperdisaster]

He doesn't say things he thinks aren't true, though.

[unknowable]

Yes, but just because he thinks it's true doesn't mean it actually is. Things he says in anger don't necessarily stay true even in his own head.

[casperdisaster]

is it still true?

[unknowable]

Probably not. Generally the angrier things stop being true as soon as he calms down. How else do you think we're still friends?

[casperdisaster]

We were better friends when I was already dead.

[unknowable]

He just needs some time to get used to you. He hated me for months, at least you two were friends before. It'll be faster.
