so many gut wrenching desert duo moments at the end of today's session.. grian carelessly almost dying to his snail again, and scar softly and desperately chanting, "careful, careful, careful! oh my god..." grian's "oh my goodness" followed by scar's worried, "what's wrong, grian??".... scar dying to his invisible snail and all grian can do is shout his name in anguish, and ends the session and freezes the entire world to save his life.
not to mention the fact that both of them are emulating 3rd life. scar is living atop a mountain that has already killed him once, plastering his allies and enemies onto a reputation board, singing "everything the light touches is mine." then there's grian, gleefully plotting his benign and helpless red teammate's every kill despite his dark green name, doing everything in his power to keep him alive. scar knows what it is to win now, and the two of them are back in this push and pull waltz, searching for hints of one another in everyone around them.
the desert always comes back around.
