[Perhaps he should have messaged him the day before, but Davesprite figured it would have been obvious things didn't go well with Jade just from when she got back without him. And then came Brian's message that night, and the decision that not checking on Sora or Jade immediately might be a little safer. But it's the next morning, and perhaps now the coast is clear enough to ask.]

hey
you doing alright

[When Davesprite didn't come back, Sora had assumed things hadn't gone quite to plan and part of him had wanted to go after the other. Given the conversation he'd had with Brian, though? It was probably..best just to let everything cool down. So he'd stayed with the duo, enjoying having company for a few more days.

Davesprite's message was definitely a welcome one, though.]

Hey!! Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay? :( I was worried about you when you didn't come back but I wasn't sure if you wanted to talk or not so I didn't message. I'm sorry. :(

it wasnt that i was unwilling
i just wanted to let stuff settle first
and then
well
where are you right now
are you on your own

Gotcha.

No, I'm still traveling with Jade and Brian since we were sort of heading the same way. I'm probably going to be splitting up from them tomorrow; I want to try and get to the split tunnels to drop off supplies.

You aren't alone, are you?

nah im not alone
tell me this then
do you have your screen to yourself right now

[He wants to be EXTRA SURE with Brian "film everything" McCreeper in the vicinity.]

[There's a pause before Sora responds again as he makes sure that his screen is only visible to himself.]

I do, yeah.

What's up?

brian sent me a warning message last night
i didnt handle things with jade as well as i could and i guess she told him
because he sent me this thing like
with clips of the eyes from the static
all "you wont hurt her again"
except worded and spaced stupidly like he does
basically a heavy handed and extra creepy ive got my eye on you message
im gonna ask you right now though dont mention this
dont even hint
im going to tell jade about it once i figure out how to word it
but i absolutely dont want you getting caught in the crossfire of this

[....Crap. Sora winces on his end, chewing on his bottom lip.]

I won't say anything. And I don't think he'll do anything. We talked a bit when you and Jade went out and he seems to really like Jade. It...he might have figured out what was going on because of what I said. I'm sorry. I was worried about everyone involved.

But I'll be careful. And I want you to be as well, okay?

[Please don't hate him, Davesprite.]

goddamnit
didnt i tell you to stay out and make like you had no idea what was going on
im trying to protect you and here you try to make friends with a raging fire of crazy
jade probably would have told him on her own with how protective she is of him
just look after your own ass sora
this is my problem not yours and i dont want you hurt because of it
im going to be as careful as i can be so at least try to follow your own advice

I appreciate you trying to protect me, I do. It means a lot.

But who's watching your back? You need someone doing that just as much as I do and yeah, Brian's upset but he's not going to do anything without reason to. Especially if Jade tells him not to.

I'm not going to get hurt; I can handle myself and I know you can too. Everyone needs someone to look out for them though.

And like it or not that's what I'm going to do. It's better Brian know now rather than finding out later and hunting you down or something.

i have people watching my back sora
natasha and clint are going to step in if something happens to me
theyre superheroes and saving people is their literal job where they come from
plus im traveling with someone who can contact them if something happens where they would need to act
now what do you mean its better brian know now
know what

It's better than he knew that you and Jade were just talking and that you weren't trying to kidnap her or something because that's what he thought.

Okay, so it's their job. It's my job where I'm from too. And that's what I'm going to keep doing here.

I thought you of all people would get that I'm not just some kid talking big for no reason. I'm not scared of Brian; if he tried to do something to me I could handle him. I'm not going to just stand by and let him hurt people if it comes to that.

its not about you being a kid sora
its me not wanting to drag someone else into my problems who isnt already involved
especially with a guy whose been known to kidnap people
what do you think me warning you before the shed was about
what do you think me leaving alone was for
hell what do you think me squawking at you when you were all waving your key thing at bucky and charles was about
you dont need to jump in and fix other peoples shit for them
jade could have told brian what happened just fine on her own
i dont need you to paint a target on your back

I'm sorry its just

That's what I'm use to doing. Helping. I want to help. I always want to help even when I know the situation is a sticky one. A dangerous one.

You're trying to take on a lot of stuff on your own and I just wanted to help.

I'm sorry.

[The way Sora puts it gives him pause. Wanting to help is a sentiment he knows well, and for it he makes himself pause and calm before answering.]

no i get it
i know how it is wanting to stop that kind of thing
thats why i tried to talk to jade in the first place
so
sorry for snapping
and i guess thank you too for giving a shit?
i just dont want you risking yourself for my sake
youre a good dude but being too reckless will get you hurt
how bout you ask me if something like this comes up again and we can work something out

It's okay. I understand. I shouldn't have done that without talking to you.

I really am sorry.

And I promise. If something like that ever comes up again I'll talk to you first.

thanks
i forgive you too
just keep safe out there and let me know if anything happens
ill do the same for you

Will do.

I'll talk to you later, Davesprite. Be safe!
