[There's no such thing as "accidentally" calling everyone on the Far Stones. One must have consciously made the decision to speak to everyone, like a walkie-talkie that can't be turned off on the receiving end. So when Chara speaks to- everyone, it is with full awareness that they are, in fact, speaking to everyone.]

Poisonous flowers are curious things, did you know? [Which is why they start off on such a chipper note!] For many, it is the act of ingesting them which causes illness or fatality. For others, however... the simple act of prolonged contact is enough- toxins are absorbed through the skin.

Death can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. [By golly, they sound happy about this.] So it's a frightfully good idea to invest in some gardening gloves, should you wish to transplant any flora from Ziziphus to another locale. It could be the difference between a new garden and your rather unfortunate demise.



[Anyways everything's totally chill. Chara's totally fine and absolutely nothing is wrong ever, they just like making these kinds of announcements for kicks. It has Absolutely Nothing to do with failing to request gloves of their own.

If you need the support, then certainly, ask away.

[He's at least one person who won't be capable of seeing them vulnerable, regardless of how close he is. It's a better option than others that could be suggested, by far.]

In the meantime, mister Wright, if you would assist me in returning to our hut..?

[He swallows. Chokes back a dozen things he should say, could say - doesn't. Won't.]

Yeah. Sure thing. Do you mind if I...? [He knows they're not the sort of person to like it, particularly when he's done it before - carrying them, and it's not even the physical weight because they are so damn small for someone their age, exactly like a kid that's been surviving off of spite and magic alone for god knows how long.]

[The remind that, despite everything, there's still a part to them that's as fragile as anything else.]

cw: referenced child abuse.

[They dislike it about as much as he expects, for the reason he expects- and hate it for so much more. Near immediately, Chara's expression closes off, fingers curling into white-knuckled fists in their lap.

the floor, the wall, the ceiling

Every moment they exert themself physically is going to make this worse, they know that much. The worse they make it, the higher the likelihood that this process would turn fatal. And they've already conceded to avoiding death.]
[But they still hate this.]

If you must.
