Uh, I embedded an axe between your hemispheres, Atem. Pretty sure that would have hurt.

Did you really think I'd ascend to priest tier and leave myself that easy to kill? Really, there's nothing to apologize for.

[Atem's sort of the asshole here for not clearing it up sooner.]

I'm a trained assassin, Atem. Easy is a relative term here. Regardless, if there wasn't anything to apologize for, why didn't you say something before?

I've had a lot on my mind.

[NOT AN EXCUSE, ATEM. It's just that Horatio attacking him isn't in the top five worst things that have happened lately, not even the top ten, so it sort of...slipped his mind. It was a drop in a bucket, one incident among many...]

I forgot it had even happened. Sorry...

Do you want the tea set back?

Me too. And one of those things was the fact that I thought I took your head off. With your -

[boyfriend? ex? he doesn't even know]

- with Ryou staying in my house every once in a while when he doesn't feel like being in total sulk mode. And Mukuro burying herself in a grief hole over Lila, where I can't forcibly help support her the way she did for me when Celeste left, and -

For fuck's sake, Atem, NO, I don't want the tea set back, I just want to feel like I haven't somehow lost track of or pissed off every single person I considered a friend.

Shit.

Sorry, I didn't mean to lose it like that. There's ... been a lot more than I thought, I guess.

Been keeping myself busy so I didn't have to think about it. Worked really well, as you can see.

It's OK. You were saying how you felt...none of it even made me mad.

What I said back then was to make you mad enough to try to kill me, so that I could finish the trick and escape. I didn't mean it. And, I'm at Hill House...so, I'm not mad, and now you know where I am.

That's something.

Thank goodness for small mercies, I guess. ... I should have figured you were using tactics, but I wasn't playing with a full deck.

Hill House ... is that the one on the mountain, or the one by the lake? I can never remember. Either way, I'm glad you're safe. Tybolt with you?

The one by the lake. And yes, he is. We both got out.

Good. ... You need anything? I could blink it by.

Yeah, if you don't mind. Reira doesn't keep much alcohol around, and what Cairo brought is nearly gone.

It's you and Cairo? I'm going to have to bring a box. ... And it just occurred to me I've never been to Hill House, so I can't blink. But I know where it is on the map, I can bring the truckster out. Give me half an hour?

You're a stand-up guy, Horatio.
