[It is pretty subjective.]

I'd say yeah, there's some Lauren Bacall in there.

Wait, is this your wife?

[starryeye]

[Her stomach clenches again. Maybe she should throw up instead of cry.]

It...sounds like her.

It...it's sounded like her before. [We're definitely tipping towards the cry end.]

voice;

[rising_tide]

Oh. Oh. Right. [Daisy wasn't here for that shit but she heard about it, she knows what the fuck's up.]

Okay. Deep breaths, babe, you're okay. What's something I can ask her?

voice;

[starryeye]

[There's a little sound that's a little less than a whimper and a little more than a gasp, but she gets it together quick.]

Okay. Yes. Good idea. Um. [Slow exhale.] Hhhhhow old is Kerry's oldest?

Is that not secret enough? Maybe...which doctor did we see on Shadow? No, no, go with the first one.

Wait! What if she's from a different time? Shit.

I mean, that's always a risk.

More breaths, babe. What do you want me to do here? Do you want me to find her and have her punch me in the face so I can tell you if she's solid?

voice;

[starryeye]

No. No, I just...

Ask what I call her when we're alone. And get ready to cry at it if she answers right.

voice;

[rising_tide]

She says, you call her your knight.

voice;

[starryeye]

[A soft sob.] God damn it.

I...Daisy, I think it's her. Like...like for real.

I...should come back to the castle, right? I was out when this showed up. I don't...fuck.

voice;

[rising_tide]

It's okay, Orla. Breathe.

She wants to know where you are. What do you want me to tell her?

voice;

[starryeye]

Tell her...

[A hard sniff.] Oh-h-h, boy, um. Tell her...to wait for me in the first floor corridor.

voice;

[rising_tide]

Got it.

Done.

Shoot me a message tonight and let me know everything's cool?

voice;

[starryeye]

Yeah. Yeah, I will.

Thank you.

voice;

[rising_tide]

Anytime, toots.
