on canon being vague.

[biochemistry]

I know you have your theories and you have your worries and I'm flattered, I am, that you seem so invested.  It's hardly like what's happening to me is the most important thing, really, I mean... just given everything else.

[Sighs.]

We'll see tomorrow, all right?

I don't think what happens to any of us is any more or less important than what's happening to any of the rest of us.

Or anyone, for that matter.

Still, your mun isn't the only one looking forward to tomorrow.

[biochemistry]

Thank you, sir. I suppose it's just easy to be more concerned about those who aren't myself.

[And a shrug.]

Tomorrow should help, though.

[sonofcoul]

That's selfless, and it's not a bad thing, especially under the circumstances, since you're also a bit in the dark here.

And yes, tomorrow should help. Unless, of course, it just hurts more, which I really wouldn't be surprised by, to be honest.

[biochemistry]

Yes. My mun's concern is that I'm being selfless to the point that it will harm me, but she sees things in a light that I can't overall, which makes sense, all considered.

Case in point: she also says that hurting more isn't even truly her concern. She just wants definitive answers, because she's got this habit of spiraling in ways that are far worse than what usually happens.

[sonofcoul]

Well, there's that, and there's also the fact that you are more aware of your situation than she is, which puts her in the same position towards you that you are to the rest of us.

Unfortunately, definitive answers are never as fast in coming as we wish they were.

[biochemistry]

That's right, yes. The way she's explaining it is that she was prepared for a lot of things but not this, but once she knows what this is she'll be able to make do.

They aren't. And I just want to do the right thing by everyone involved, no matter, but it's hard to have a handle on that at the present moment.

[sonofcoul]

They tend to be surprisingly adaptable. I'm sure yours will manage just fine once she figures it out.

Uncertainty makes a lot of things difficult. Believe me, I understand.

[biochemistry]

Oh, I'm sure, too. She just gets anxious without something resembling a plan. It's one of the reasons we get on, really.

Yes. [Beat.] It's an odd feeling, but not entirely unexpected.

[sonofcoul]

So many things are up in the air right now it makes it hard to know where you're standing. Hopefully at least some of it settles soon. The rest should come with time.

[biochemistry]

Of course, yes. I think time is the best thing we can really hope for right now.
