    Summary

    “Dear Maia,” said Csethiro, amused. “Lack of presumption, thy name is Edrehasivar. Well, we are sorry for the faux pas. Have no fear, we are used to keeping quiet on the matter.” She frowned. “Gosh. For a woman who was so worried you disliked us, we are certainly giving you plenty of reasons, in our attempts to diffuse the situation. Damnation.” She sat back, then said, “Ooh, Goëlar,” and sat forwards again. “You have the set! And well-read, we dare say, how impressive…”
    The woman's mind was like a scanning bird of prey, Csevet thought exhaustedly as she tottered out of the chair to look at his bookshelf. Pinned one topic and only let it go when it was in its death throes, then leapt instantly off to murder another.

    (csevet and csethiro have three main things in common: pakh'palar, popular literature, and purpose. not necessarily in that order.)

    Summary

    The first intrusion was the beeping— medical-grade, reassuring, insistent.

    It was familiar, like her heartbeat. That rushed in next, the pulse of blood pushing away the sheltering dark. Light filtered in through her eyelids, violet and soothing, for one long sustained breath, and then her entire left side erupted into one giant itch.

    Shit.

    "Guess who got blown uppppp," crooned a staticky voice, and that was enough to place her. If she’d still been in Io General’s ICU, Will's voice with that same sing-song tone would be coming at her, sure, but from an uncomfortable plastic chair next to her and not from the neuro-comm embroidered into her synapses.
