[I guess after they wake up sweaty and have evacuated the terrible medbay with all of its myriad traumas and triggers, molly will try and find harrow again. hopefully he causes less tears this time?]
. . . Look, I'm fairly against the whole killing thing, but I can't say I'm too torn to pieces about that one.
[She's probably back in her room, or walking back with him in tow. Whichever works.]
Sutcliffe? [She makes a nasty face.] I don't even care to convict on that one. She was an evident danger, and it's for the best that someone took her out before she could hurt someone. I might even shake their hand.
[He makes a tch noise but less anime and more like. surly irish. I don't know how to write it except tch.]
Inclined to agree on that one. The other kid, he didn't do anything except-- . . . well, whatever he was doing around here, but certainly it wasn't deserving of death.
Useless and insolent, but killed by an opportunist looking for easy prey, which is far more offensive. As we say on the Ninth, death first to vultures and scavengers.
[Her lips are a little thin. She's been stomping around all week wanting to solve the ~mystery~ and bring it back to him like a cat with a dead bird. She hasn't really made much headway on that, and meanwhile had her whole self literally and metaphorically chewed up and spit out and cried twice on him.
It just doesn't really sit well with her. It makes her feel a little useless.]
It's a poor idea, to wander about sleep deprived. You'll sleep tonight. Get one of the Avatars to get you a sleeping aid if you must.
[Well, now he's going to get a little pissy in return, because it's clear she's right and he now has chosen this hill to die on. His arms cross and his tail swishes, agitated.]
I'm really not seeing the issue. I've been doing everything I'm supposed to be doing. I'm indulging, I'm alert, I'm going to help with the-- justice seeking tomorrow as best as I can. I don't want to . . . I just don't want to knock myself out and have dreams of my friend melting into lava, so I think I can perfectly well make that choice myself.

As we say in the Nein: what in the hell, Harrow.
no subject
Last night you said you hadn't slept for a week.
no subject
Just a comment. Wouldn't worry about it. Certainly slept last night.

Tried the-- what was it, opium, didn't much care for it, so I think I'll be--

no subject
Surely there's something between opium and nothing.

[Sass.]
I don't-- I don't like what I think about when I'm just laying there. If I'm doing something, it's fine.

Is that what you're afraid of?
[Dreams? Hmm. She crosses her arms.]
I can't promise you won't have them. But. . . hmm. Is not sleeping something you can do?
no subject
[It's not!]
no subject
[Stupid.]
I wish I could tell you there was a way you didn't have to dream of her. But the only way past this is through.
no subject
Evidence?
[Ugh!]
Who says I want to be past it?
no subject
If you intend to keep your promises, you must. Even if not now, if you can't take care of yourself it will kill you.
no subject
You must know my comeback to that one, Harrow.
no subject
Fine. Go lie down and die, then, if it's so inevitable.
no subject
. . . I'll ask. About a sleep aide.
no subject
[She's crossing her arms and going into her sullen, I definitely don't care about you mode.]
no subject
. . . Thank you.
no subject
[And then with a little more feeling - ]
I won't allow you to fail. Even if I have to drag you myself. And that won't be fun for you.
no subject
Might be one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to my face. And Beau told me part of my eulogy, so, high bar.
