[After the chaos caused by Apep, Saleh finds himself in need of some rejuvination. Now that the experiment's over, and before the New Feather cycle starts, this would be the perfect time to get away for a bit.]

I'm not sure what caused the chaos after the experiment, but it has left me quite exhausted. I shall head into the mountains for a while, to take some time off. I shall return in time for the New Feather cycle, though.

[Well, he's trying to improve his filters, at least.]

Julia? How fare you? How fares Isaac?

I'm...tired, mostly. I plan on heading into the mountains for a few days. After everything that's happened this past month, I find myself craving the atmosphere.

I would ask if you would join me, but I'm sure that Isaac will need you more.

[The need for company is unusual for him, but he'll do without if necessary.]

Isaac has not needed me during any point of his life, and I am sure he will not need me much now. I will, however, go and check on him. If you would like me to come, I would gladly accept.

Are you...sure? Some people tend to push others away when they need them most. But that does not do them any good.

Ah...I would be honored if you were to join me. When would you like to go?

I am sure. At home, Isaac and I lead very separate lives and we hardly saw one another. He does not need me as much as you may think.

Mm? Whenever you would like.

Perhaps you are speaking of the physical sense? He can physically fend for himself, yes, but it is his heart that I'm concerned for.

Hmm...how about tomorrow? Would that give you enough time to prepare?

...Isaac will be fine. He always is.

[ Except he isn't, and this is something she knows well, but it's not something she's going to push off onto Saleh. She will deal with Isaac on her own when the time comes. ]

Very well, that sounds perfect.
