Sheemie is in the bar, carefully not looking at the front door or the fire.

He's focusing on the people.

Sheemie nods. "Well enough, so I am. And thee?"

Cuthbert shrugs. "About as well as can be, I think."

He pauses. Then, "We're going camping like we used to. There's a Fair Day from Eddie and Susannah's world called Halloween--not quite the same, I don't think, but still."

Sheemie nods, suddenly solemn.

"In the forest here?"

Bert nods. "Aye. I think we'll be able to get far enough."

He hopes so, anyway.

"Aye. The woods go deep."

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"Too, deep, and you end up in the Dream-Lord's realm."

Which can be dangerous. Just ask Lilly.

"But I think we'll be alright."

Sheemie nods.

"We'll none of us be alone."

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"No."

And that's the important thing.

"We'll get through it together."

Like they always have. Just...without Roland, this time.

And with Susan.

A difference, say true, and an important one, but... not to what matters.

"Aye. As we ever did."
