[With the directory back up and working again, some people checking it may notice that two new pages have appeared in the directory, with pictures of the faces of all the people who are currently with Dathusropi, either surviving in the wilderness or people he has discovered taken by the jungle and added to his cache of unconscious people. Apparently one of the more info-oriented gods finally tracked him down and had him organize something for them.

Otherwise, it's a quiet morning. How were your dreams last night?]

[He will accept the hug.]

I promised him. I promised him I would look out for him.

[lyvus_daddy]

I know.

But he's out there and he'll come back. He will.

[slayerofgiants]

Do you really believe that, Rory?

[lyvus_daddy]

Yes.

[No doubt.]

He's young, but the young shouldn't be underestimated.

[And he's seen a kid come back from the earth that was trying to eat him, so...]

[slayerofgiants]

It is not that I underestimate him. It's just...

[Just going to rest his head on Rory's shoulder and AVOID EYE CONTACT. His voice becomes shakey]

This place. It has ways of snatching away the people you care about. No matter who they are. What they've done. Or how strong.

[lyvus_daddy]

[Lightly squeezing his shoulder.]

Yes.

But the thing about the people you care about...is they find a way to come back to you.

[slayerofgiants]

I'm not sure I believe that anymore.

[That kind of hurt to admit but he can't help it.]

[lyvus_daddy]

I know it can be hard to believe.

But it's true. People will always, always come back. You just have to have faith, even if it takes a while.
