2020-03-02 - Want To Do A Thing?

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : Hey, Riya. Let me know if you have time to talk today. Someone asked me about doing something for them, and I wanted to talk to you about it first. I think you know him, August Roen? If you're free we can go by his shop later.

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : Heya, Cip. I do know August, yes. I can stop by with you this evening if you want. 🙂

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : Great, thanks. Maybe you could come over to the house after for dinner?

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : Sure, dinner would work. What did August ask for?

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : He needs someone to get into the Veil. One of the things is apparently not a big deal, the other one is apparently very dangerous. I'm not keen on the second one but I'll hear him out. The first one might be okay. But I'd like you to stay with Ashira if I go.

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : Why do you need to go into the Veil? And...I could go instead if needed. Especially if it's super dangerous. Either way, if I can't go I'll stay with Ashira.

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : I think he needs someone who can open a door out after. But I'm not sure, I'll need to hear more about it when we meet. He said he'd like you to come if you could, so we'll see what he says.

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : Yeah, I don't think I can open a door out. I always like seeing August, so I'll gladly go along. 🙂

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : Thanks, sis <3

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : If I get all grumpy it's because you have Ashira...and I worry about you getting stuck in the Veil. I know you are adult and can make your own decisions though.

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : I know. I'm on the fence about it, too. It's hard to justify doing something risky. Now that it's clear Ashira's getting it, too, I can't pretend I don't have it anymore. I feel like I should get more familiar in case she needs me one day. But it's going to be a balance.

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : Balancing things is the hard part. Especially if you are trying to have a halfway normal life. Which...I wish I could sometimes. But it could be much much worse. How have you and the little one been?

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : It is. I don't know how you deal with this all the time but I'm proud of you. We're good, just missing you. How are you?

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : I miss you guys as well. Been ramping up to burn down the Murray House soon. I'm not sure if it's going to go well...but hoping it will be the end of it.

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : Good. I'm glad it'll be over. Just be careful, okay?

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : I will be. I've got help, but I don't think it's going to be the easiest task. Sometimes I don't know why I'm so gung ho to rid the town of all of this weird...then I remember Ashira.

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : She appreciates it, and I do too. But we love you more so make sure you come back 😛

(TXT to Ciprian) Minerva : I'd hate to have my niece kick my corpse, so I'm definitely going to live. :p

(TXT to Minerva) Ciprian : Don't jinx it!!
