you make it sound like you've met more than one

[strove]

I have. I'm surprised no one's told you that already.

[voicelog]

i guess they must've forgotten

[ or rather they just didn't want him to know for whatever reason. ]

was he from stephen's earth?

[strove]

I believe he was, from what I could understand. It's why I didn't put you together. It seems you two have a similar bond where you come from?

[voicelog]

i don't know about similar, but i've known the doctor for a long time

or at least the one from my earth

[strove]

He's been here since our first (accidental, at the time) release with me. The two of us are now business partners, which I'm sure you've learned.

The reason why I'm reaching out, though, is that I was given to understand that the two of you were close. You kept him grounded when he was having a hard time. I don't know if you know that, though.

Either way, thank you for helping your friend. He needed it.

[ oh.

he wasn't expecting a thanks. ]

you don't have to thank me
like you said, he's my friend
i couldn't have left him alone even if i wanted to

[ they got into their first fight, but it was quickly swept aside the moment stephen needed help. it's just how it works with them apparently. ]

[strove]

Of course. That's how it is with friends, right?

I'm stepping in for him to give him some time, but don't let him be fine too soon if you think he isn't. Stephen has a knack for having everything figured out but himself, or that's what it looks like.

[voicelog]

yeah, i'm familiar with it

[ strange isn't so different from him in that regards. ]

i'll make sure he's ready before he decides to do anything too ambitious

[strove]

Thanks.

And feel free to come in for a drink or some food if you'd ever like. It's on the house. (Obviously.)

sure thing

i'll swing by sometime
