... Well that part we can deal with. It shouldn't last past the end of the week, right?

[ ... ]

Might suck, but... it's less permanent than dying.

[coastal]

I think I might just sleep it off? I don't feel much when I'm like that... At least not about anyone around me.

[the

funny part mostly being that if you take away lili's care or concern for other people, you take away - most of her? her sense of justice exists, but the rest of it is... muted. so very muted.]

[voidbreaker]

Do whatever. It's fine. We saw what happened in trial, so...

[ he shrugs. ]

[coastal]

Easier than making anyone deal with me, I guess.

[even though kara will probably pout]

I always thought the version of myself without so much... feeling.... would be easier to handle...

[ kara is a big boy sword who can let his girlfriend have an emotionless nap. ]

Being an emotionless husk ain't all it's cracked up to be, Princess.

[coastal]

I know that!

[she's pouting but like




did she.

AND SHE OPENS HER MOUTH TO SAYING HER NAME IS LILI -

before she just.... pouts some more....

maybe she's learning]

[voidbreaker]

[ he just


grins. ]

[coastal]

[she's turning away from him

but then turning back to glare]

... don't think you've won.

[voidbreaker]

[ he's still grinning. ]

Didn't realise this was a win/lose situation.

[coastal]

Everything with you is a win/lose situation.

[maybe not really but she's bitter right now so she will say it]

[voidbreaker]

[ ... ]

Nah. Not always.

[coastal]

[ . . . . ]

I don't know what that means?

[voidbreaker]

[ ? ]

What's there not to know? Not everything is win/lose.

[coastal]

I can't tell if you're referring to something specific and I'm not getting it...

[what a weird pause]

[voidbreaker]

[ dana i'm crying ]

No?

[coastal]

[it's fine

she shakes her head]

Then nevermind it. I'll still fight you when I feel like fighting you.

[voidbreaker]

Go for it.

Wouldn't want your edge to get all dull and complacent.

[coastal]

Eugh. If that ever happens, you have permission to push me into the lake.

[SOUNDS HORRIBLE]

[voidbreaker]

I'm not enough of a dick to push you into the lake after what you've said about your death? I'll push you into some mud or something.

[ geez?? ]

[coastal]

But the mud's dirty and—

[oh. she wrinkles her nose.]

I guess it is meant to be a punishment... Fine.

[voidbreaker]

[ hm. ]

Fair. I could just trip you up?

[coastal]

I feel like that's letting me off too easy...

[why is she talking about this theoretical punishment so seriously]

Complacency is a really terrible character trait!

[voidbreaker]

Don't get complacent and you'll be fine then? No tripping up, or into anything that way.

[coastal]

I don't really plan on it. Curses aside - not that I plan most of those.

[but she can acknowledge that there are consequences if she ever does slack off.]

... and I would actually prefer that I not get cursed for a while....

[voidbreaker]

[ ... ha, right. curses. ]

Yeah, here's a new challenge for you - don't get cursed next week.
