LITERALLY.


Kinda the premise.

[ Algric returns it. ]

Still can't believe Martin managed.

[eyediot]

I can't either. I don't know what he even did. I was planning to take care of it after you handled Elias.

[curriculum_fictae]

Well now you don't have to. We just need to kill Elias.

[eyediot]

..Yes, you do.

[Pointedly... keeping himself out of that. Since Algric asked him.]

How will you get down there? I mean, besides 'the tunnels'.

[curriculum_fictae]

[ He appreciates that. ]

W-well - the tunnels. But also the Leitner, I think.

[eyediot]

Of course.

Where would you start.

[curriculum_fictae]

Mm, well. Leitner's not dead yet, so ... I suppose find him in the tunnels first. Steal his book.

[eyediot]

[Jonah sort of.. Stares at him. He's trying to get Algric to see the important part without pointing it out but-]

And would you have to go through the Institute to get into the tunnels?

[curriculum_fictae]

W-well - well yes, but - I'll keep the Lonely close. He won't be able to see me.

[ Nevermind how inconsistent it's been lately. ]

[eyediot]

And Tim?

[curriculum_fictae]

I'll extend it to him too.

[ Nevermind the Desolation will burn through it. Nevermind he can scarcely cover himself. ]

[eyediot]

...I'm loathe to bring this up, but. Even when you went down there with Peter, the both of you, Elias still saw you going down there and followed you.

[curriculum_fictae]

-- What?

[eyediot]

He literally walked out of prison when you were both going to meet you there. He beat me there even.

[curriculum_fictae]

I - I didn't realise.

[eyediot]

So. That's- that's why I'm asking. What the plan is.

[curriculum_fictae]

...

We've got time to work on it.

[eyediot]

Right. We... We do.

[Another soft, lingering kiss before resting his head against Algric's shoulder.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ He pets the back of Jonah's head. ]

Thank you for staying out of it.

[eyediot]

[Jonah seems to sort of... deflate at that.]

Only because you asked.

[curriculum_fictae]

Yes. And - and I asked because I care about you, Jon. If Elias get his hands on you, god ...

[eyediot]

I-i know.

I don't like it. What if he got his hands on you?

[curriculum_fictae]

Well, he doesn't end the world, for starters.

[eyediot]

No, but. You'd make a fantastic bargaining chip for him to use.

[curriculum_fictae]

He doesn't know that.
