she looks awkward at that, glancing away for a moment before turning back to him.

and giving a very brief bow of her head.]

... it did.

Thank you.

[she's awkward but... it was a nice gesture. she can acknowledge that much. even if she's also clearly startled and taken aback by the kindness of it. stupid tsun.]

[givethemhell]

[SHE IS A STUPID TSUN GOD good thing he has so much familiarity with people like her. His smile softens a little and his head dips for a moment in return.]

If it could help, then I'm glad for it. You've been working hard from the start, you know?

[And she seems like the kind of person to shove her own concerns aside to focus on others and the big picture SO!! He will fuss, but fuss from afar since he can also tell she doesn't like to be overwhelmed by motherhens.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . . . . . ]

That's not - something that's unique to me. Everyone has been.

[everyone's been running around trying to save who they can, to find who they can, and do what they can...

she shifts awkwardly, uncertainly. she doesn't like being acknowledged for something that she thinks is a given]

[givethemhell]

No, it's not. But not everyone is quite as hard on themselves as you are about it.

[SOME PEOPLE ARE KINDER TO THEMSELVES THAN LILI AN. He can say this as a similar sort of person who can pick out the same traits in others...

Anyway, he waves a gentle hand after that.]

I know you don't like this sort of talk. What else was it that you wanted to discuss?

[coastal]

[is she hard on herself...??????? she blinks in confusion at that - before nodding.

TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE ON]

I think that we've found some of the answers that we're looking for, and I just wanted to hope that you've since been informed.

Though I think Dick is telling people now... So I wouldn't be surprised if it got to you.

[givethemhell]

[God Lili is so much. But he hums and nods at that!]

Is it about the banner and the new answer?

[coastal]

[she nods!]

That's right. I think it's spread to most of the camp by now -

And I think we're moving quickly to actually resolving it. Now we just need to figure out the actual structure of the new team.

[givethemhell]

Mm, it does feel like we're going in the right direction. [FINALLY.] With everyone working toward finding the path to that new team, all the better.

[Is he still apprehensive and worried everything will be pulled out from under their feet at the last second? HELL YEAH. But that doesn't stop him from feeling hopeful for the first time in, hm, like 12 weeks.]

[coastal]

[WEI WUXIAN your HOPE]

Exactly.

I think the 'how' has almost been secured... now it's just figuring out the timing and whether or not this will really solve everything.

I'm just a little mad that there doesn't seem to be a concrete way to punch that pink entity in the face yet.

[givethemhell]

[IT'S COMING BACK TO LIFE LIKE SO MANY OTHER UNDEAD THINGS...]

Ah, really? Good news, then! I'd like to think we'll be able to confront it sooner or later, too. If things progress smoothly...

[Maybe it is okay to hope that he'll finally be able to murder a villainous MG entity.]

[coastal]

[there's just going to be a huff at that]

Try not to invite bad luck to us.

The odds of things going purely smoothly in this place are...

[not

great]

[givethemhell]

[JUST WAVING AT HER FASTLY.]

It's fine, I haven't jinxed anything! Aiyo-- Where's the wood to knock on...

[coastal]

[gestures at

a canoe?]

So if we're all doomed to failure I'll announce that it's your fault.

[givethemhell]

[Give him a second as he stands up

runs over to the nearest canoe

knocks on it

and runs back.]

There! It can't be my fault now, law of wood-knocking.

[coastal]

So quick to pass blame....

[she's so mean to him why]

[givethemhell]

[he deserves it at least]

If we're to share success, we should also share failure.

[He says this so decisively, with a nod. Yes.]
