Video (on the prison break)

[silvering]

[Jem is sitting cross legged on his bed in the Youth Center. His concerned silver eyes appear on the video.]

People have been released from the jail. Is anyone missing a friend? I hope everyone has made it back to their homes without too much injury.

Everyone should remain wary of any retribution for what we've done. The deities will not let this slight against them go unchecked.

It's kind of you to worry about us, Jem. [She is relieved to be free.] I think everyone is on their guard.

[silvering]

I do not like to see friends in trouble, especially at the hands of those who would toy with us.

[bibliophile_annex]

I don't either. There were far too many innocent people in that prison. I can halfway understand why they would incarcerate me - not that I deserve it - but fear leads people to make stupid decisions.

[silvering]

[Softly,] I wish more people did. I will try to guard you as well as I can.

Have you spoken to Clary?

I have seen and spoken to her. She is safe Mae.

[Jem got her out, but he isn't going to brag about it.]

Thank god. I tried to help [she tried to break her out.] but it didn't work well.

It was the anti-deities group who made it possible.

Do you side with them, now?

Re: text;

[silvering]

[There is a pause before the text is sent.]

For now. I need to learn more about them.

Be careful, Jem. No deal comes for free.

Re: text;

[silvering]

I will be careful, thank you for your concern Mae.

What about you? Are you taking sides, or trying to stay hidden?

[brobeforehos]

I doubt it's a good idea to say it, even now.

Re: text;

[silvering]

Perhaps you would care to meet up with me when things die down and then we can discuss it away from prying eyes?

text;

[brobeforehos]

I'll try.


But if not, I'll let you know. Keep her safe?

Re: text;

[silvering]

I will, I will never let a friend down, including you.

[monochrome_mirror]

...I will be ready to assist those in trouble if needed, but I do not want to fight the deities myself.

[silvering]

[Jem's smile is gentle and warm.]

That is more than enough that you would aid others.

Hey, is Charlie okay?

[silvering]

I haven't seen her since she was released, I will check on her for you.
