Hey, I'm okay so don't freak out.

But something happened in the hotel.

[ Enter Panicked Dad mode. ]

You really shouldn't start a message with "don't freak out".

What's happened?

[Have a picture image as an answer. Something definitely missing that should be there:]

[skaikrudad]

Cute picture.

[ He doesn't actually notice straight away, he thinks maybe she's just sending him a random, attractive selfie (not that he's familiar with the word 'selfie'). Then - ]

They removed your tattoo?

[belligerents]

Thanks, and they made me a Dom at the hotel.

[skaikrudad]

You're kidding.

[ He doesn't know whether to feel relieved, confused or jealous. ]

What did you do? [ Oh god, he's thinking the worst. ] Please tell me you didn't give them something in return.

[belligerents]

You should know me better than that.

I didn’t do anything. I won a VIP suite. When I woke up, my mark was gone.

[skaikrudad]

[ He does know her better than most people, but he also knows how much she hated being a Sub. ]

Just like that?

[ Odd... Still, it's good news. ]

You finally caught a break... I can't say I'm not relieved right now. I was worrying about you.

[belligerents]

You don't have to worry about me. I survive. It's what I do.

[skaikrudad]

I know. I'm happy for you, Raven. I'm glad you've got control now.

Can't believe I'm the only sub left. [ Out of their group, that is. ]

[belligerents]

Sorry. It's not like I had any choice in either decision.

And I know you're with Emma. But if you need anything or if anything happens, just letting you know this is an open invitation.

[skaikrudad]

It's fine. I'm not bitter. If I was offered to switch roles tomorrow, I'd probably turn it down anyway.

Here's hoping I'm not in a position where I need your help, but thanks.

I'm glad you'll be living in the Up again. Have you moved yet?

[belligerents]

Think I'm going to get my own building. I'll invite you over when I do.

[skaikrudad]

Sounds big. You plan on filling it up with Subs?

[belligerents]

Whoever ends up contracting with me will have space.

[skaikrudad]

I know it's hard to trust people here, but take a chance on someone.

[ That's what he did with Emma and it turned out to be one of the best decisions he made here. ]

[belligerents]

Have to find someone who needs it first.

[skaikrudad]

Plenty of people need help here. And they'd be lucky to have a Dom like you. Just send them my way if they need convincing.

[belligerents]

I don't think it works like that, but thanks for the vote of confidence.

[skaikrudad]

Any time.

[ You know Bellamy - he's always there to reassure her how capable she is. ]

[belligerents]

Well I just wanted you to be the first to know.
