text. a few days after she returns from her canon update.

[magnitudes]

Hey Frank.

Thanks for looking after Doris. I'm back now, so I can come pick her up whenever you want.

[castle]

[ it's a simple enough message, though considering the suddenness of her "disappearance", in which she'd been in that weird ass cocoon for far too long, he's not sure if he can take it as such. ]

wait

the hell happened to you?
you were in that shit forever
you alright?

[magnitudes]

yeah sorry
I was kinda wrapped up

( and she tries to figure out how to make a proper reply, how to string together some words to articulate how fucked up it was, but she isn't sure how. )

[castle]

[ pretty on point there. ]

i can bring her over
need anything

shit's still low on stock everywhere
but i got stuff here at the house

cw ref to disordered eating

[magnitudes]

( Does she need anything? Probably. Does she want anything? Kinda. Can she bring herself to eat anything? No. She knows she making herself sicker, probably fucking up how her arms gonna heal up, but eating is just—

nah. )

Yeah, that'd be great.

She'll be unhappy without her fruit snacks, but I got plenty of pellets for her, so she'll be okay.

( let's ignore Sarissa's own nutritional needs please and thank you )

[castle]

[ look, stubbornness is his own best friend, but it doesn't mean he can't call it out himself. ]

i ain't talking about her

[ though obviously he'll have food for her too. ]

[magnitudes]

you know, you don't have to type "ain't"
I'd know you're gruff and tough even if you used more proper language in your texts

( she says, desperately deflecting )

[castle]

you seriously making fun of me right now?

[ don't judge his text grammar, damn it. ]

[magnitudes]

this may come as a shock to you

but i'm a bit of a dick

[castle]

yeah so am i
but that's not the topic on hand here

i'm the last person to pull the stubborn ass card on

cw: ref to self-mutilation / amputated limb

[magnitudes]

yeah okay then

well speaking of hands
I had to cut one of mine off

so you know what
I'm fine
I don't need anything

go find someone else to be stubborn at
