Your inevitable doom will give me enough time to come up with an escape plan.

well i thought i had it but i can't find it one day i will

[fe_male]

I'm glad I could stick around long enough to make that kind of heroic sacrifice just for you.

i will wait

[motherofnemesis]

She probably wouldn't actually kill you, you're on her team.

~for you baby~~~

[fe_male]

That's what she wants me to think.

you're so nice to me 8D

[motherofnemesis]

I don't think she's a double agent.

<3<3

[fe_male]

She'd be a pretty shitty one if you did.

[motherofnemesis]

Or I've just seen a lot of double agents over the years.

[fe_male]

Yeah, okay, that's possible too, but it's less fun for me.

[motherofnemesis]

I'm really confused as to why you think double agents are fun.

[fe_male]

I don't. I think figuring out other people is fun.

[motherofnemesis]

What if people don't want to be figured out?

[fe_male]

Then they need to try harder. That part isn't my problem.

[motherofnemesis]

I must have really annoyed you, at first.

[fe_male]

[ Wait. ] What?

[motherofnemesis]

[ shrug. a little reluctantly. ] I was just - well, I was kind of an ass for a while. At the beginning.

[fe_male]

Were you? I didn't notice. [ Passive. He either did and doesn't care now, or really didn't and is thinking about why he might have missed it. ]

[motherofnemesis]

Well, that's nice. [ A little smile, wry. ] Doesn't matter now, I guess. Which is nice.

[fe_male]

Water under the charred remains of that particular bridge. Never do things by halves.

[motherofnemesis]

All in or nothing? [ Shifting again, restless. ] It's a good policy.

[fe_male]

Something wrong?

[motherofnemesis]

It's been half an hour, right? Can I get up now?

[fe_male]

[ Considering. ] Slowly. And you can't trick me if it didn't work right - although, I mean, it will, because I made it - but don't even try it anyway.

[motherofnemesis]

You wouldn't give that warning if you didn't think I could. [ She's just saying. And pulling herself into a sitting position, carefully keeping her face smooth in case of any pain. ] Not that lying down with you isn't very nice, I just. [ Shrug. ] I don't like medical looking places. Or staying still when there's danger.

[fe_male]

I could just be trying to save you the effort of an inevitable failure, given your weakened state, currently. [ Who knows.

But that's fair enough. He helps her up a little bit, where he can, and then sits up with her and swings his legs over the edge of the bed. ] How is it?

[motherofnemesis]

I'm not weakened. [ A retort that doesn't hold a lot of truth in it, but she felt the need to make anyways.

She puts out her hand to his shoulder to help support her as she slides off the slide of the bed, then pulls it away to stand firmly on her own two feet for a little bit, silent. ] Not bad. I mean, I think my ratio of not bad is skewed, but this is pretty okay.
