Public Apology

[A much more composed Chosen sits in front of the SFC this morning, looking fairly reluctant but this needs to be done. Are those note cards?]

To all the men, women, aliens, and talking animals of Vatheon, I wish to humbly extend my apologies for the events of a few nights ago. It was completely out of line and I know I offended a great many of you. It won't happen again and I'd appreciate if we could just take it as a parable on the evils of alcohol and move on. If anyone still has a bone to pick with me over it, just.. respond, I guess.

Again, I sincerely ask your forgiveness for the ass I made of myself on the network and any trouble it may have caused anyone.

[He tucks the note cards away, and reaches to turn off the picture, but pauses a moment before he does.]

...Except to that white-haired guy. You're kind of a dick.

Can't say I've ever had to move a house, but considering how big a house is I can imagine. Chin up though, you don't need to worry about that here!

[He's curious as to why she had to move an entire house but with her making a face like that he doesn't want to ask and see her sad any longer.]

[Well, it's her own house, which was a brick, but still! Proportionally that's still very unfeasible.]

You're right, it's all been set away. I'm really only worried about Timothy... he's doing much better, but when I left, he still had pneumonia.

What... what if he gets worse, again? What if, when I go back, time hasn't stopped and he's still sick? Or... or worse!

Hey, hey, calm down Mrs. Brisby, it's alright. Time's stopped, otherwise it doesn't make sense for my Bud to be here when he's from an earlier point in our journey, so I'm sure it's the same for everyone since we were all brought here the same way.

Do you want me to come over? Would company help you feel better?

No, I... I'll be fine.

[She wipes her eyes with her cape.]

I just... I'd be so beside myself, if anything happened to them and I wasn't there...

[He's a little jealous. She so obviously loves her children dearly. They're lucky to have her. His voice is quiet when he speaks again.]

It's just fine, Mrs. Bris. Like I said, time's really not passing so you have nothing to worry about, okay? Trust me.

...What happens if I die here? Do I go back, anyway, or... or am I dead?

[This one he actually knows, though he sort of wishes he didn't.]

If we die here, we get brought back in about five days. I really wouldn't worry about it, Hunny. I sweetheart like you's got no business thinking dark thoughts like that.

I mean... if I die naturally. Because of old age. That's never happened, here...

No one really seems to be aging, to be honest. I think the coral might keep us in some kind of stasis or time flux or something. After all, we wouldn't be horribly useful to it if we died, and if it intends to send us back like it's done others, it wouldn't make sense if we popped back all old and wrinkled when we supposedly weren't gone at all, right?

[He may have actually given this some thought on his own.]

I... I suppose... these are still things that are so troubling...

I know, and they're all perfectly valid things to be worried about of course, but the way I see it is whoever or whatever dragged us here might be doing these curse things, but other than that it takes pretty good care of us. It wouldn't be in its best interest to let anything happen, including old age, so cheer up.

[He smiles softly, comfortingly.]

Everything's going to be fine, including Timothy.

...You're very kind, Zelos. Thank you.

I just can't stand to see a hunny upset, Mrs. Brisby.♥

[A heartfelt thanks like that from anyone embarrasses him but whereas he'd normally say something completely idiotic to brush it off, with Brisby he can't. He actually likes that she thinks he's kind and he doesn't want to correct her.]
