Time’s a healer, so they say.

Among other lies, sure.

[sharktoothtotem]

Depends on the wound I think.

[professionalriot]

Unless you pick at the wounds.

[doortodoor]

Kind of lie that is better than some.

[doortodoor]

What's your definition of a wound?

[doortodoor]

And how that go for you?

[professionalriot]

At first? I kept picking.

[sharktoothtotem]

Well is it emotional, physical, or spiritual?

And no I'm not some religious fanatic with that last one. [She's just a little more in tune with that kinda thing thanks to being a researcher for a bunch of armature archeologists.]

[doortodoor]

I'm all for not knowing how that ends.

[doortodoor]

Some days it could be all three.

As a former seminarian, I don’t see anything wrong with the latter.

[sharktoothtotem]

Gods in my business, Somedays are all ending with Y.

[She chuckles a little.] Good, I usually get the weirdest looks, but when you spend every day neck deep in mythology and old maps trying to help find the most obscure clue for people, you tend to forget that most people don't do that.

[doortodoor]

What kind of business is that?

[sharktoothtotem]

Researcher for a team of archeologists.

[mosthexcellent]

Sometimes, yeah, it is. But expecting everything to get better or easier just because it's been some time since it happened isn't gonna go well. Time doesn't erase pain, it only teaches you how to carry it without breaking yourself.

[doortodoor]

And now, I have a lot more questions.

[doortodoor]

Is that the voice of experience speaking?

[sharktoothtotem]

And I walked right into it.

[She grinned] I might have answers though.

[mosthexcellent]

In what, that time doesn't heal everything? Oh yeah.

Not saying it's not useful, because it is, but...it's not everything.

[doortodoor]

No, it isn’t everything. What were you expecting time to heal?

[doortodoor]

Might being the key word. Is that my cue to talk about the weather instead?

[mosthexcellent]

Oh, the list is long on that count. Probably my brother, though. Time's got a lot to make up for on that score.

[sharktoothtotem]

Just means I won't answer if I don't like the question.

[professionalriot]

Doesn't end badly. I stopped picking. Maybe set some shit on fire. Time passed.

[frontiertownmaverick]

It works both ways. It makes you forget and twists the knife deeper, all things depending.

[doortodoor]

What's the story with your brother?
