Thanks, [ says Orpheus, sighing. ] I think whoever it was might be in danger too, though. It sounded like he took whatever they said or did to him really personally. And if he did, um. All this, to us, just for being nearby...

[ He doesn't want to think about what else Sam might be able to come up with. ]

If I'd been able to ask, maybe he would've told me. And maybe we could've warned them.

Well, I don't think it's a good idea to try and ask, now.

My friends want to go after him. I don't think that's a good idea either. I, I don't want anyone else to get hurt. I suppose it's naive to think he'll simply stop, though.

[ If he pretends it's not a problem, it'll stop being a problem... right? ]

Probably not. And I don't think it's a good idea to just let him go off unchecked, but I'm really worried about more people getting hurt because of all of this. I know Mako's a good fighter, but...

[ How do you fight someone who can tear you apart with a gesture? He doesn't ask as much out loud, not wanting to upset Wu further, but the thought lingers. ]

But.

[ The "but is pretty clear to both of them. ]

I don't know. If he dies, he'll just come back. I, I don't know what to do with someone like that, here.

Well. We need to recover. We can figure out a solution, ah, later!

I don't know either.

[ And he kind of hates the idea of killing Sam anyway, even if Sam did kill him and Wu first. It doesn't feel right, to him, the idea that the only answer to that kind of violence is more violence, even as he's painfully aware that talking him down didn't work. ]

I guess there's not much we can do about it for now, though. Are you taking good care of yourself, at least? I've got a few people looking after me here, so I've been managing pretty well.

Oh, yes. Mako's taking care of me. I think I'll be okay.

Really, let us know if you need anything.

[ He's quiet for a moment. ]

I'm really sorry, for what happened.

I will. And if there's anything I can do to help either of you, let me know?

[ Not that he's sure there's much he can do with how things are right now, but it's worth offering. ]

I'm sorry, too. You shouldn't have had to see any of that, or go through what came after. If you want to talk about it, I'm here, any time.

I will, thank you.

[ The offer is still appreciated ]

I, I might. Later. I think we both have enough to deal with, with the flu.

I hope it isn't too awful for you! I'll talk to you soon, alright?

[ They're bonded in death, after all ]

Yes! I'll look forward to it.

[ And he means it genuinely. Wu's a nice person, and he appreciates talking to him, even if they had to go through all this together. ]
