It's Our Party 2

[kerr_avon]

I'm afraid so.

[roj_blake]

Then yes, I need medical attention.

[kerr_avon]

Come lie on the bed. I doubt it's anything beyond my ability to repair. [Avon smiles.] After all, I broke it, I should fix it.

[roj_blake]

[Blake slowly gets to his feet and shuffles over to the bed. He lowers himself onto his belly. He swears softly at the pain.]

[kerr_avon]

[Avon brings over the aid kit and uses a disinfectant pad to wipe the area.] *belatedly* This is going to sting.

[kerr_avon]

*softly* I'm glad she's not.

[roj_blake]

[Blake moves toward Avon, carefully. Oh, that does *not* feel good.] Why?

[kerr_avon]

If anything should happen to either of us... it would be bad enough for a normal child. [Avon shakes his head.] For an empathic child... the trauma... no, she's better off without it.

[roj_blake]

[Blake reaches out and cups Avon's face.] Nothing is going to happen to us. We're going to live long enough to see our great-grandchildren.

[kerr_avon]

[Things have become more relaxed in the tent when they return, with people dancing to slow music in the center, and others sitting and chatting in tables around two sides.]

[roj_blake]

*softly* The man in the corner, the one in the dark blue robes, is Satai.

[kerr_avon]

[Avon nods and smiles at people, as he follows Blake in a not-quite direct route to Satai.]

[roj_blake]

[Blake stops to chat with a few people, listening to their advice, thanking them for their offers of babysitting. When they get to Satai, Blake smiles and introduces himself.]
