@_PinkFirebird They’re fine. She just took her to the beach I used to take her too… I mean, Maya shouldn’t have done that but I can’t do anything about it! And i know in 10 minutes Maya will call me crying saying Aunt Morgan is a meanie… ugh.
@_PinkFirebird [She’s already dragging him by his sweater sleeve.] Yes. We don’t know if there was any poison left in there and- and I don’t want you hurt.
[It was a bitter realization just how close to death Diego was that day. Especially now that she knows what happens if he did.]
@_PinkFirebird [She sits up, proud of herself. Maybe she was just letting Phoenix’s words bring her confidence.] I’ll teach you everything I know, okay?
@_PinkFirebird R-Really? [She can’t help but smile, even if she feels childish for it.]
I just did what I was taught too by everyone at the office… it wasn’t /that/ cool.
@_PinkFirebird [Mia put a light arm on his shoulder. He wasn’t that much younger than her, they were peers more than anything, but when he was hurting like this, she can’t help but think of Maya.] We’ll be home soon… promise.
@_PinkFirebird Heh, you know I’ll always be there. That’s what friends are for, y’know? Now come on, we gotta sign you in. Hopefully once i mention deadly poison it’ll be a quick wait.
@_PinkFirebird [Mia pulls into the ER parking lot. Weird to be back here again.] She killed her step-sister too. Valerie.
I guess it’s all finally over.
@_PinkFirebird I’m.. look, Dahlia’s been a thorn in my side since the beginning of my career. She… she almost killed Diego. It was.. yeah. Dahlia is the worst.
@_PinkFirebird [Mia loads him into her car, and they make their way to the Emergency Room.]
Phoenix… I.. I really am sorry about Dahlia. If I’d known earlier… I could’ve warned you… about who she was.. what she did.. [Her grip tightens on the wheel.]
@_PinkFirebird [Mia puts a comforting hand on his back. He seemed ok after eating the necklace, but she knew better than to take chances.]
All that matters to me now is that you’re okay. Come on, we should get you checked out. We can talk about it in the waiting room.
