week 5 ( thursday );
[... Most likely, things will come to an end soon. Lief wishes he could feel relieved, but all that he can muster is an aching tiredness and sense of grief. But... it doesn't matter right now. He was told to share what he learned, and though he knows it's not his right to tell others everything, there are at least a few things they should know.
And so, bracing himself for the cold, he goes to find Yona.]

...which is why Yona is wrapped up in as many sheets, towels, and borrowed blankets as she can find. She's just outside of her and Hiro's hit when Lief approaches, though, crouched down in the snow and shaping three small figures out of snow, and he'll see her close her eyes and clasp her hands together for a few moments.
The crunch of his footsteps on the snow causes her to look up and open her eyes a moment later; she shivers, but she smiles.]
Hello there, Lief.
no subject
Perhaps if he can see Yona return safely to where she belongs, that will be one victory achieved, at least.]
Hello, Princess Yona. I—I assume you have spoken to others about the letters?
no subject
[Only a little. At this point, she's heard bits and pieces, but nothing concrete enough for her to come to any real conclusions on - she is, after all, a known moron.]
no subject
... May I ask what you know?
no subject
I know Keith said that Hiro and I were on the right track... and that it's not as complicated as we think. So I think the answer has to be something simple enough to be overlooked.
The idea of "virtual reality" still seems really complicated to me, so I keep wondering if... [Her voice trails off and she shakes her head.] Hiro's smarter than me, so I'm sure he'll figure it out if we keep talking about our ideas.
no subject
According to the dead, this is a dream. You were correct, Princess Yona.
no subject
[uhhhhhhhhhh]
...wait, can you say that again?
[tell her she was right she likes hearing it]

1/2
2/3 i lied
[Don't mind her as the implications of that start to sink in... she goes still, though her arms are still around him.]
3/3
...but wait, if it's a dream, how are we supposed to wake up?!
no subject
[??? WHY THE HUG even if he's not complaining, hugs are nice especially when you've been in a low mood for a while.]
... It seems we must depend on the last Wickie for that.
no subject
[who the hell is the last wickie, she doesn't know that]
Who...? What if we accidentally vote for them by mistake, like with Jack...?
no subject
Most likely, the Wickies' allies will ensure that that does not happen.
no subject
[But if the Wickie is the one who can wake them all up, she doesn't want to take any risks. After the fiasco with the Jacks, and... how they had two guilty people and one innocent and they still voted for the innocent one, she's a little worried about their chances.]
...um. I know you probably can't tell me, if you know! It's probably safer that way. But if there's anything I can do to help... just tell me what to do, okay? You don't have to tell me why you need me to do it. [She smiles.] But I trust that you won't lead me down the wrong path.
no subject
Thank you, Princess Yona. I wish I could, but truly, it does not seem there is anything I can do to help either, other than pass this information along.
[Not that he's ever done much of anything here, he knows.]
no subject
[Yona returns his smile - hers is a little weak, as well, because this entire experience has been so incredibly draining. But she's trying. And that's all anyone can really do, honestly.]
I think the most important thing right now is for as many of us to be on the same page as possible. Once we all know what we need to know, it will be easier for us to work together, right? And you're helping to make sure that happens, even though it's so cold outside and it might have been easier to wait until tomorrow. I think that's really amazing.
i hate you
Thank you for saying so, Princess Yona. You are very kind.
