[Oh, Light... Mara. Why now?

He is not doing this over text.]

Osiris. Are you at home?

[He tries to keep his tone light, but there's an unmistakable undercurrent of tension there.]

[hereticphoenix]

[thecrucible]

[Well, that simultaneously makes it harder to judge Osiris's current state of mind... and pretty worryingly clear.]

You stay right there. I'll be over momentarily.

[hereticphoenix]

[It is hardly as though he has anywhere else to be. He has made tea, more to keep himself occupied than the be hospitable, and he's sitting at the table when Shaxx arrives, cup in hand.

For once, he feels every year of his age.]
