[well look if either of them could have any sort of conversation about crying she might know it wasn't necessarily worry as much as a lot of gay feelings so it's fine
[Okay. Fine. Sulky is better than the mean girl act.]
... I'd probably actually respect just going to slit his throat in the night. But I know that's not your style. What I worry about is you going to pull some plan that involves a thousand complicated curses and not letting anyone know until it's too late to help.
I imagine just about everyone is going to want to help take care of this. And don't act like I can't take care of things. I can take care of things perfectly well.
I in fact did not say anything other than that I intended to handle it, and it was the two of you who immediately assumed I meant I was going to go do something foolish, when I meant that I was going to do what I always do and talk to enough people to settle on a plan that would resolve the situation.
I never said foolish! I never said foolish, I said that I was worried. Look, your plans have worked in the past very well, but I'm still allowed to worry because what if I just close my eyes and let you run off and do as you please and it ends up getting you hurt? Then where the fuck will I be?
[Hmm. Well. He's allowed to express a worry for her, I guess.]
Most likely, I'm just going to talk to Childe and see if he'll agree to an exchange of information. He said to my face he was envious Gu Yun had me on his side - in a manner that was very condescending, as though I am a clever pet - so maybe he'll want to know what I know.
The general plan of immobilizing him before Thursday night will probably suffice, beyond that. I'll talk to some people and see if it wouldn't be better to just kill him, but I think the risk of further reprisals is worse that way.
I just don't want the two of you sitting around worrying, when I think the problem can be mitigated without drastic measures.
... Alright. Fine. I may have been a bit unfair. But I can speak to him as well - bastard that he is.
At the very fucking least we can probably just form an agreement to vote for him next week if someone doesn't take the opportunity to just murder him outright in exchange for their wish.
He only suggested that I might know something about Mahito's murder, which I played off. He doesn't think me that bright.
[Shrugs.]
Which is fine with me. Maybe best to just keep having idle conversation, if he thinks I'm not intelligent enough to figure out how to press a button on a machine without instruction.
Agree. He makes a lot of assumptions about people, and that is where he makes his mistakes. He seems to think I'm bright only because I "caught him," when all I actually did was notice the criminal mastermind had an enormous bruise on his forehead. I am offended to be praised for this.
[So. Who really cares what he thinks.]
You put together everything that actually took effort, but let him continue to assume he only has me to deal with.
I think most people assumed you told me what to do, which is fine, but a little insulting to me. I think I specifically don't do everything you tell me to do.
... You might too, becuase I think you should ask Despair to fix your brain. By the way, did you know they suggested that they'd simply "dispose" of you in other circumstances? I hate them.
That's just what they're like. They take memory very seriously.
[It's fine! She's not bothered by it.]
I'm not sure I ought to, though. We're getting down to the wire here, and there's so much at stake. I'm rather convinced if I fix it, I'll have a convalescence period we can't really afford. It was months before I regained actual coherence, after . . . after what happened.
Oh yes? They're just entitled to walk around saying certain people don't matter at all because they're less than perfect? That seems healthy. We should encourage that. I'm entitled to my opinion that Despair sucks, so there.
[he WILL Cry harder.]
Uh. Don't know that I can-- seems a cleaner way to do it.

Whatever you're trying to "handle" at least consult me first.
no subject
You'll be consulted if you're needed.
no subject
anyway he sits up at that?]
Fuck off. That isn't how this works now and you know it.
no subject
Oh? I have to tell you everything I do?
no subject
You have to keep me informed if it involves the dangerous people we are both involved with, yes!
no subject
All right. It will probably involve them in some capacity. Consider yourself so informed.

Stop.

You stop. I haven't even decided on a course of action, and you're all acting like I mean to go slit his throat in the night.

I got the impression he thought I told you to use the item on the House. I would just let him continue to think so.
