[candle call]

[Then, C.C. fixed her candle by throwing it against a cliff wall.]

[eventually, a candle call!

someone's been forgetful and bad at time]

[immoetality]

[. . . pushing her sunglasses up while her eyebrow goes up as well]

Shade.

[wildnight]

[sort of visibly not at her most stable]

Celeste, Oz said... Is that right?

[immoetality]

[you wouldn't call if you were sane]

. . . C.C., for now. We can deal with that later.

[wildnight]

[...it is unfortunately true; worst co-mom]

You are still there, though?

[immoetality]

I am still here as myself. A name hardly encompasses all of anyone, so I'm not attached to them. You shouldn't worry about it, either.

[wildnight]

I wasn't worried about it... Not the name.

[immoetality]

But the person who uses it.

[wildnight]

I have some need for people lately.

[immoetality]

Or you've been going to the wrong ones.

[wildnight]

...Perhaps. Though they have tried—and helped, in their ways.

[immoetality]

Mm, and you aren't ungrateful. But I would be insulted if anyone could compare to me.

[wildnight]

How could they?

[immoetality]

How sad for them—And you as well, I suppose.

[wildnight]

It is the way of the world. They could never be you.

[immoetality]

Yes, but that doesn't make it less disheartening. The question is what makes that fact worthwhile.

[wildnight]

Perhaps... It is not the fact I am most concerned with now.

[immoetality]

[shifting to lay down, half-curled around the candle]

No. You wouldn't be, would you?

[wildnight]

No...

We are winning again. We were not, for a time.

[immoetality]

They had to find their feet. How has everyone been?

[wildnight]

Oz is gone in your way. And Korra is in the book...

Did they tell you Dawn returned?

[immoetality]

Mm, I heard. We're still missing a few, though.

And you?

[wildnight]

I am still here.

[immoetality]

Are you? Though, you couldn't be anywhere else as much as you would like to be, could you.

[wildnight]

I would not wish to be elsewhere now, I just...

I weaken myself in this.
