[sunmon]

How are you?

[pharmacy]

oh
hi
im okay, how are you?

[sunmon]

You know.

[ the usual neurotic mess : ) ]

But I didn't get killed, so that's a plus.
Did you ever figure out who had your name?

[pharmacy]

one wesley's library staff ig
he got in my face about it, but the blackguard stepped in before it got dicey

congrats on dodging your hunter btw did they come to you?

[sunmon]

I work with Wesley at the library.
Who said that to you?

[pharmacy]

well I wish I'd seen you instead of him
I was looking for Wesley, Petre got into my head to be a weird dick about sth so I wanted to check in

the guy was tall, dark hair, dark eyes, big alpha male energy
no offense, but not the kind of person I usu expect to see there

[sunmon]

Aleksander.
He doesn't work at the library, but he's there often.

[ the name alone will likely articulate why. ]

[pharmacy]

[ Alex is a name he used to hear a lot, but it's not so common here. Only one comes to mind actually... ]

You gotta be fucking kidding me

[sunmon]

I wish I were.
But he didn't kill you?

[pharmacy]

not yet, but I'll admit I'm kinda nervous about it now, if you're worried enough to check in

should I be watching my back?

[sunmon]

No. I don't think so.
If he didn't do it then...
No Blackguard could have stopped him if he'd really wanted to.

[pharmacy]

I guess he didn't really want to, I'll call myself lucky

I mean, he doesn't know anything about me, right?

[sunmon]

Not that I know of.

[pharmacy]

okay
okay, I'm gonna choose not to worry about it then 
I figure you or Nik will tell me if I have anything to worry about 

how do you work with him? 

[sunmon]

I don't.
I told you, he doesn't work with Wesley and Petre and I.
He just ... visits.
Often.

[pharmacy]

oh
OH
man fuck this guy, does petre not crawl up his ass about loitering too?

[sunmon]

It's a library.
He's not loitering, he's trading books.
Besides.
Nikolai thinks we should work together.
With him.

[pharmacy]

[ While normally he would lean on Nikolai as the voice of reason: ] 

what do YOU think? 

[sunmon]

I think there's no getting away from him.
Not for me.
Not ever.
So what's the point in fighting?

[pharmacy]

idk sometimes fighting is the point
but i guess sometimes fighting just wears you out too

[sunmon]

It just makes it hurt worse.

[pharmacy]

yeah it does

Alina, thanks for
sharing with me

idk if anyone else gets this

[sunmon]

Daniel does.
If you need someone else to...
For stuff that you wouldn't want to talk to me about.

🎀

[pharmacy]

[ He'd make a joke--what would I not want to talk to you about?--but the unfunny answers he can come up with on his own make him reconsider. Instead: ]

I'll remember that
