[the tone of her voice shifts, a little more openly irritated, as she moves her arms to cross them.]
It’s not like I’m surprised people don’t think I’m trustworthy, or that I’m surprised you would try to protect him! It’s like you said. You made a choice you could live with. But you get why I’m angry, too, right? That you’ve been talking with people behind my back trying to decide if I deserve to - no, me deserving to know wasn’t even one of your reasons, was it?
[That's fine! Anger is fine. the tail at least unwinds from his ankle at that.]
I get it! I get why you're angry. You deserve to know! Hence why I said I'd tell you. Sort of implied in the action of it? Or at least that's how I meant it. I'm really bad at these honesty things, this is new for me!
[Ugh, okay, reorienting.]
And when I say panel it was an ill-timed joke about how I had to ask Gu Yun if I could spill his secrets, since it wasn't, I don't know, all mine to share without him knowing. That's all.
You think I plan these things? Fuck if I know how I hoped this would go, I didn't think about it! I'm not playing any mind games here. I certainly didn't expect you to hold me and cry in gratitude.
I am not! I wouldn’t have hit you at all if I was. I just didn’t want to deal with you getting all weird if I went for the one place you asked me not to.
I would have just complained a lot! I'm-- I do this for a living! I'm in fights all the time, I bleed myself for magic powers, I can handle some face punching!
Then why did you tell me not to? It would have been way more satisfying for me, you know!
[stop
but she sighs.]
Like I said... I’m not going to act like I’m not really mad at you! Both of you. But I didn’t exactly love some of the choices Mahito made, either.
You can be angry! I think you're right to be. I was fucking angry when I found out. [Pulling his joint out from behind his ear and digging in his coat for his lighter again.] I fucking hate men. I'm sticking to women and other from this point on.

How were you hoping this would go? Were you hoping I’d say I understand, and that things would be fine? I’m not sure what you’re expecting.

but in the end she goes for his shoulder.]

Ah-- Seriously? You are nice at heart, aren't you? [Hissing, holding his shoulder.] I'd have gone for the face anyway.
