//hey, ive not logged in here for like. a week(ish) by now so update: things are getting better but im also very scared to return because i gotta beg furries for money\\
//also artfight starts soon so that's another thing i gotta fret about\\
//so if ur waiting on me um!!!! sorry. hiatus continues\\
abigail blinks, posture rigid at wes’s sudden stop in motions—she musters up what energy she can to be on high alert. hounds? some other creature? threat? her mind races with a half second of panic. would she be able to protect him from anything right now?
oh… her eyes lock onto where he’s pointed. a branch. no, a flower. she… she remembers that kind of flower. grandma liked those kinds of flowers. abigail’s gaze drifts to wes’s writing. she drags herself a little closer so she can see better.
goldenrods. her core hums happily from where it sits in the visage of her ribcage. “abigail always liked flowers…”
Looks more yellow than gold. she scrawls with a shaky hand. Grandma liked those. She said they meant something. I don’t remember what.
Wes holds one of the flowers, careful not to pull it from the stem. He hated plucking petals unless it was completely necessary, being ever so cautious with the fragile thing.
He lets go to write next to Abigail. They mean good luck, prosperity, and to be cautious. I know a lot about the meanings.
The mime sits up a little straighter, trying to see if there were any more stray stems of goldenrod. Sure enough, a small handful had taken root close by. He was always excited to see flowers he recognized in the wild, though some looked a little different than the selectively bred plants he was used to back home. He looks to Abigail, wiping out his words.
There might be other plants I could tell you about. Before we head back.
abigail pauses at the touch, then leans into it for a moment before he stops. her faint grey-blue eyes are wide, shimmering with concern and perhaps seawater. she takes a seat across from wes, wincing slightly as she folds her legs. she quietly sits there, fiddling with her thumbs
the ghost finally opens her mouth, her speech muddled gurgling-whispers—uuOougrgruhhh… sshssoouhhh…—and her worried expression far from fading. she coughs again, then brandishes a finger. it fluctuates as she fails to transmute it into a sharp claw. the girl takes a laborious breath, once more settling for spelling with sanguine.
what… now?
After a couple moments, he felt far better. Not perfect. He wouldn't feel perfect for a long time, especially not mentally. But he was better. He watched Abigail scrawl out the question, and let out a breath. He gestured loosely towards the woods, but stops, his hand frozen in place.
He spots out of the corner of his eye, close enough to their makeshift camp, that he could just barely reach over. The mime beckons Abby to come look.
He had spotted a string of golden flowers, and they had grown in a cluster of tall grass. Almost mistaken just for a branch, if not for the striking color.
He finds clear space on the ground to write what the flowers are. Goldenrod. Wes adjusts how he's sitting so the little specter could look.
Send a 💔 and my Muse will reject your Muse’s romantic confession.
Hey blip!! Do you have anywhere we can donate to you or support you? 🦴
//i appreciate the offer greatly! and i do, but i feel bad accepting donations. especially since at the moment, even if i had the funds to leave, id not have the resources to get a job elsewhere!! plus my family is very accepting, and i am not in immediate harm. Just very scared!\\
//even still, i host furry/creature commissions on ko-fi, and sell characters on toyhouse (im ambassador-blip in both places, tho ko-fi loads without the hyphen) so it feels less like a donation\\
//all the support i need is just folks understanding that uh!!! a good chunk of Florida residents don't want to be here right now, and to not threaten to isolate us from the rest of the US because our "governor" is ruining everything :')\\
STAY SAFE BLIP!!!! IM SORRY YOU LIVE IN FLORIDA
//oh man believe me im sorry too\\
//but i don't have the money to leave, so im trapped here! at least i can try to ignore the bumpy ride\\
//hey fellas i know i have already been a lil quiet round here but i wanna give an update that i may get just a little quieter\\
//i need to make money with commissions atm, and it really does not help that i live in florida and the news has been very scary lately!!! so please just be patient. i don't think anyone's waiting on me for anything but if you need something, reach out and ill get back to you eventually!! prommy!!!!\\
[8, 62, 81(not the clown thing) for the 90 questions prompt?]
8. What is the one thing people assume about you that you wish wasn’t true?
Wes had to think about it, and rubs the back of his neck nervously before finally signing, glancing off elsewhere just to avoid eye contact. [Probably that I'm useless? It's a valid assumption, I think. Just wish it were false.]
62. What’s the most irrational reason you’ve ever had for disliking someone?
He seems to straighten up with the second question, a look of disgust washing his features. [I knew a man who collected.] He had to pause, before elaborating with a few more gestures. [It wasn't anything bad. It was a reasonable hobby. But I hated his need to collect and gather and sort. I felt like I was being collected too.]
He relaxed before the next question was asked.
81. What is the weirdest thing that gets you angry?
He taps his chin a little, having to think it over. He wasn't one to really get angry, most of the traits he disliked were merely pet peeves, but he shrugged, giving a response that would hopefully satisfy.
[I suppose... The previous answer applies here too? Hoarding without purpose. Maybe I'm hypocritical for this, I'm not sure.]

even if all she could really do at first was shiver and swallow her pain, eventually she ended up drifting in a blissful dreamlike state of consciousness. not quite blessed rest, but the closest she’s going to ever get outside of her flower. abigail cuddled up against wes, tentatively comforted as the hours passed.
now, with the morning dew, she stirs further. it’s quiet. the wounded ghost opens her eyes, her mind catching up with everything. the pain is still there. it’s just a little easier not to focus on it… for now. abigail looks at wes, who is seemingly peaceful and undisturbed. she wants to stay here, but she’s sure he’s going to be hungry if when he wakes up.
Wes was perfectly content, curled up on the spot. Despite his wounds, of course. He felt the little ghost nudging her, and at first just tried to get more comfortable, but it didn't take long for him to succumb to being awake. Stretching out like a cat to get his joints comfortable again, he noticed the berries and carrots that Abby brought back.
Hunger gnawed at his insides, and he wanted briefly to deny the food, hoping to insist that Abby had done enough. But a sharp pain in his stomach told him not to. It probably spoke volumes that he had no clue if that was the feeling of internal bleeding, or just hunger pangs. Either way, he graciously accepted the bundle. It should tide him over for now.
When he finished the impromptu breakfast, he gave Abigail a little smile, gently ruffling her hair. Careful of the ghastly injuries she had, but wanting to comfort her. To be glad she was doing even a little better than last night.
He was still in quite a bit of pain, so they couldn't walk far yet, but nothing could mask how grateful he was for the little ghost. And how lucky he was that she was still here.
it’s been a long day. the hounds came and nobody was ready. @sisturn managed to help fend the majority off, but at a heavy cost to her spectral well-being. she finds her way over to wes, wailing loudly and carrying poultice. she furrows her brow and shoves the item at him, clearly worried for his well-being.
Wes wiped blood from his cheek. He wasn't sure if it was the hounds' or his own, but it's not like it mattered. The mime did his very best to fend off the horrid beasts, but as usual, not without his own injuries. Sitting back to catch his breath, he coughed a couple times just to clear his airways.
Abigail's approach puts a smile on his face, and he picks up the poultice gratefully. He looks at her though, and offers it back. He didn't want to take any resources without helping the others first. Including Abby.
After all, the wounds weren't severe. Not like they were in the past. No bone was exposed, nothing was broken, he just had a lot of scratches and bites. One laceration was a tad closer to his throat than he would have liked, but it wasn't going to kill him if he waited.
mimes are the sexiest form of clown
Wes just stands there, bewildered and unsure if he should be flattered, or offended.
send me ‘ scritches ‘ for my muse’s reaction to yours stroking mine’s hair to calm them down in an emotional moment…
