yes
I think it is good for several reasons
and it is good that you are with Doctor Watson because he is good
Red Cat is not falling apart anymore
thank you

[bywolves]

You're welcome.

[ Another long pause. ]

Watson is helping with the MN poisoning we've got. He is good.
Listen. I wouldn't normally try and talk to you.
But after the false memories, I... am reluctant to just let go. We traveled together and that meant something.

[ It's a good thing he's texting this because he'd die if he had to say it out loud. ]

[ecks]

I know. I understand.


I preferred remembering that I was your friend very much more than remembering that I had murdered you
you were a good friend
I liked traveling together

[bywolves]

I liked traveling together, too. You were a good friend and I enjoyed having you at my back.

I don't know if we could do that now. I don't know if you'd want to.
But there isn't much reason to not be friendly.
House is and has been really the only thing that stands in the way of that.

[ecks]

Alfie Solomons also

[Just saying. He's a harmonica thief in all timelines.]

I think I am still Doctor House's friend
I do not want to not be your friend.

[bywolves]

Yeah. Fair. Alfie, too.

[ It was even Royce's harmonica, once. Which is still weird to think about. ]

I don't want to not be your friend, also.
I think we can make it work, so long as we keep House and Solomons away from each other.

[ecks]

yes


I am traveling with Doctor House now
I cannot travel with you right now because I am traveling with Doctor House

[bywolves]

Yeah.
Do whatever you want with House.

If you want to come with us, I won't say no.
I don't want you to hit Alfie with a shovel, but if you can promise not to do that, you can travel with us.

[ecks]

I will promise not to hit Alfie Solomons with a shovel when I travel with you

[Notably absent: a promise not to attempt to retrieve the harmonica. Notably present: the word when in place of if.]

Doctor House has a plan for which I am needed
I think I will come travel with you after I have finished helping him

[bywolves]

[ Well. At least she won't be hitting him. Probably. As for the rest... ]

Yeah. I'm okay with that.
I have to ask Alfie, you understand, but I think he won't say no. He likes you.
Keep in touch.

[ecks]

I do not understand why he likes me but that is alright
you keep in touch also

[bywolves]

You're likable. Even when you're trying to kill my friends.
Have a good night, Ecks.

[ecks]

have a good night, Royce Melborn
