protect the magic!

And I'm off to protect the Zzz's!

Ah, I tend to write myself out without giving room for a reply. Sorry! I have to watch that.

me too, alas

Ees rude!

👍 Catch you later, Cat, Shades. T-minus 1 work day until vacay!

night flks

folks

*Sails on*

Godspeed, Shady

*sleepy waves*

howdy

you made it!

Almost vacation!

woo

although, man, I loathe cosette...

I do like reader's theater....

No, hey, Cosette and Raoul from Phantom; suck-roles.

NO ONE LIKES YOU... but you're the ingenue.

That said, totally watching the clip.

Yeah. August and Zara are totally Marius and Eponine.

Yep. I buy that.

And he's totally clueless.

Except Eponine had hot blue love show up.

yup!

I mean, SHOW up. Like a hot blue eggplant.

BOOM.

I mean, probably much better for her that he did

figure otherwise... a: Ice. or b: Not Ice, and then Cora showed up.

...which Zara is partially responsible for. Cora should thank the sloo.

She could have trended back towards a hard-core River Hag.

OTOH.... August knows a bit more about a River Hag, now.

He has not put it together.

Because he doesn't see Zara.

He does.

He really does!

If she had pulled a stunt like he did last fall, I doubt Aug would have realized she was missing.

..... maybe.

I would like to think he would have. But... come on. Sluagh? Missing?

How can you tell?

Z is actually pretty social for one of her kind. But I think it would be a matter of weeks if not months for August to think it was a problem.

...okay, it would probably still take at least a week for Earl.

At that time, yes. I can believe that. Now? No.

Because she's at the library a few times a week?

Yes. And because.... she's Zara, his friend. His Friend.

Zara has sort of accepted that she can only mean so much to August. And I don't even think it is an eros/philia thing... I don't think she thinks she ranks high even on the latter.
