(SE) bury me face down

Vai listens very carefully, trying to piece together his memories with the places he’s been spotted. At least she has found him - and she’ll cook a whole steak just for Haai as a thank-you for that much. ”Hey, okay...” Giving his hand a gentle squeeze, she tries carefully to turn him away from the climb up to the top of the volcano, even if his feet are planted firmly in the ground. ”Safrin told you that you were sick,” she repeats. ”She wouldn’t lie, would she? What if whoever you think is up there is part of your illness?” Logic first, and if that fails then Vai will have to get tricky about it. ”Neither of us should be here, Sunny. Let’s both go - people are worried about you. I’m one of them.” Sighing and wiping the sweat from her own brow, she steps up beside him and reaches out to lay a hand on his feathered shoulder. ”Please. If you’re sick, like Safrin says, then you need to get well before anything else.” vervain well i'll rest my eyes and i'll let the earth breathe
