Many things are up but may not remain so for long. The north tower, for one. I fear its collapse. We live today but there is a great chance we may die tomorrow. So I wish to apologize.
[ Shit is it that bad over there? Vi hasn't really been asking about the stability of the towers, but then she's been incredibly occupied when she's up there.
Merrin has nothing to apologize for, not even nearly killing her. ]
seriously don't
we're not gonna die. it sounds like you just need a drink
[ She's embarrassed this is being brought up. Vi doesn't want to remember being like that. And that counted as an apology. Damnit Merrin! Now they're all doomed because you wanted closure. ]
but i'll let you spot my next drink, anyway. [ which probably just means swiping it from the nearest schmuck. ] might want something stronger than water though
[ Her insistence that she wouldn't have been killed is dubious at best. But further protests are stifled. Speaking on it apparently invites bad luck, which...is an unfamiliar concept to Merrin, but she is still learning the ways of others. ]
What would you have us drink then?
[ She has smelled the stench of drink on the soldiers, seen them act...worse when under the influence of it. Having never been exposed to liquor of any kind, it is likewise another new experience for her to consider. ]

I have had many. Water will not keep the tower stable.
[ She is...attempting a joke... ]

it'd be stupid for you to try to apologize for anything anyway, but still don't do it. bad luck. then we'll all really die

You were not killed when I threw you against the cliffs. For that I am glad. So that you will continue to live, I offer no apology then.
We should have water together soon.
[ There. More optimistic. ]
