Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[unburnt-queen.livejournal.com]

Dany had gotten another letter. She was now missing two different bloodriders, and at this rate, all of Westeros would be gone in days. And she didn't know how to make it better, or what to do, or how to fix any of it. And after speaking to Chuck, she came to the realization that no one else was coping much better than she was.

So she decided to do what she knew how: she would provide. She couldn't cook, no, but she could just barely work a phone, so it wasn't long before the common room was filled with Chinese food. Dany opted to eat with a fork rather than the silly sticks, of course, but it was filling and warm and good, and she pressed buttons on the television until she found something light and easy to watch.

It made nothing better. But it helped, the tiniest bit.

"Bad news, too?" she guessed quietly. "And you're welcome."

"Sort of," Squall answered with a shrug. "A different version of me, from a different universe. For whatever reason, Fandom sent his last words to me." It really shouldn't be upsetting him as much as it was. He'd stop that, as soon as he could.

"...that's a whole new kind of terrible," Dany murmured, her hand flying to her mouth. "It's bad enough to hear from our loved ones. But from yourself? I'm so sorry."

"Yeah," Squall agreed. "It's..." He shrugged again. "Whatever. We can't afford to let our losses affect us. We need to find a way to defeat whatever this is." He didn't look like he believed his own words, though.

"We will," Dany said firmly. "There's too much energy going towards the solution for us to not find one. I have every confidence that we shall."

"Well, that's one of us, then. It doesn't seem likely at this point."

"What makes it so unlikely?" Dany asked, a little more sharply out of pure desperation. "We have every available man working on it, this has happened before and been resolved, and -- declaring defeat now won't solve a damned thing, will it?"
