...I think so, if used correctly. "Defensive but strategic" isn't a lot to work with, but it's something.

[ though he does take a moment to be bitter about the hosts not even being able to tell them if a power was used or not. annoying. ]

That's fine. I asked, too - and about a task to heal you, but they can't do it. Or won't.

[coastal]

It is... We'll get a better idea tomorrow, and see if it clears anything up. I... honestly hope so. Even though it means we'll have to reconsider everyone's behavior at trial with that new information in mind.

[thinking about how tsuru used his power on kara... wow... stupid.

but she blinks when she hears that and - ]

Oh... I knew I forgot something... [lili,]

Well that's annoying. I don't really want to use my healing item... but I can talk to Taako and the other stupid old men who got stuck. They got two healing items out of their search. So if we have three, maybe it's alright to spare one...

[unfriendliest]

[ there is a long-suffering sigh. lili, please. ]

...I'll leave that up to you. It sounds like that's the only way to speed up your healing, so it's either that or wait, unless someone has a healing power they aren't using.

[coastal]

That's a little too lucky, isn't it? In all of the previous settings, I hadn't heard of a power that just lets you... heal. If they gave that to someone here, that'd be quite the fortune.

[she can't imagine it, damn]

But I'll weigh the options, and see if anyone is willing to consider it. I'd probably have to owe them a pretty big favor though...

[she does not think anyone would just heal her for free rip]

[unfriendliest]

Some of the ones Dick listed were healing abilities. It didn't have any details on how they worked, though.

...Just be careful in what you agree to.

[coastal]

... all we can do is ask people to trust us, I think. To give us an idea of what abilities there are, and which ones can be ruled out because there probably can't be two of the same.

[which is still! difficult! when there are 40 fucking people in this camp but!]

I know. I won't be reckless.

[unfriendliest]

Are you sure that wouldn't count as outing them? Their rules seem to be very picky about things like that.

Then if you need help with it, ask me.

[coastal]

It probably would - so we can't say it out loud but...

[ . . . ugh, she makes a face. that's more of the usual 'you need to trust me' sort of thing that's going around, and that can get very messy very fast.]

... I will, if I need it. [though she pauses] You know you can rely on me too...

[unfriendliest]

Writing it down will probably count against us, too.

[ he looks down at her, eyebrow raised. ]

Isn't that what I'm already doing? I have to, when you can't tell me anything.

[coastal]

It will, if the anonymous list was a problem...

[damn she hates this game. but still, she looks a little sheepish at that]

I know but - if there's anything else... I know I get into a lot of trouble, but I want to help you too.

[unfriendliest]

...You say that a lot. Do you think I don't want your help?

[coastal]

[she shakes her head at that, glancing up at him]

I think we work together.

[since she's pretty sure, that if nothing else, they want help from each other even as they're learning to accept it from other people]

But I always want... [to give you everything] .... to do more for you.

[unfriendliest]

[ …? ]

I don’t need you to do more for me, as long as you’re still here.

[coastal]

[ - and maybe that's the thing that confuses her the most. that she doesn't need to earn her worth in this relationship to keep kara from leaving, because he liked her enough to agree to date her in the beginning.

it silences her for a few moments as she tries to think of what to say, even as her face flushes]

... Well I still...

[want to make you happy. hm. no, she's not strong enough to say that.]

... I'll be here for as long as I can then.

[unfriendliest]

[ ...after a moment, he leans down to press a gentle kiss against her lips. ]

I know you will.

[coastal]

[she will die every time kara initiates affection himself

she leans into the kiss because she is stupid and weak, even if it just makes her blush worse. and she can't quite meet his eyes.]

.... Uh - anything else?

[that they?? need to talk about?? or are they just going to keep hanging out by the fire she's cool with that too]

[unfriendliest]

...You're blushing again.

[ yea that's all he's got right now lmao ]

[coastal]

[she hates him

she's just going to bury her face in his shoulder to hide]

Quit it!!

[unfriendliest]

[ point to kara! ]

What if I said I like it?

[coastal]

What?

[STOP she keeps getting more embarrassed]

How could you like something like that?! You're so rude...!

[unfriendliest]

Why did you say you wanted to see me blush, again?

[coastal]

I - I have my reasons...

[even as she pulls back to give him the most half-hearted glare ever]

Maybe I won't try to give you gifts after all since you seem to get plenty of fun out of teasing me.

[unfriendliest]

You know I don't need that, as long as I have you.

[coastal]

[PLEASE STOP KILLING HER]

Eh.

[unfriendliest]

[ he pays her no mind ]

Do you want gifts, though? I don't really know how to make anything like jewelry or weaponry or whatever they suggested, but I could try to learn.
