Then we'll say that and call it a day. I don't want to tell you the whole reason but, it's impossible for me to get along with any of them.

[powerisyours]

[ just sounds tired ]

And I won't ask you to tell me. I could force it out of you easily enough if I thought it would help any, but it wouldn't. I don't expect you all to become friends or even get along, but civility has its place.

[trollininthedeep]

That's why I didn't kill any of them, despite how much I wanted to.

[powerisyours]

While I would've preferred you had done nothing to them at all, I'll thank you for that. Civility requires a lack of outward hostility.

[trollininthedeep]

Now that I've done it, it's better now. My move is done, they don't have to be paranoid anymore on if I will do anything else and whether they want to retaliate is on them.

[powerisyours]

Your move was unnecessary. But what's done is done, and if they do come after you, you brought it on yourself. It's not an excuse to justify attacking them again in the future. Don't let things camp did use you like that.

[ moving to lean against the wall, and if you care to notice, his face is getting paler by the minute ]

[trollininthedeep]

[I'll notice but not say anything about it yet.]

I wont instigate another attack unless they want a fight. Knowing that idiot, he'll be the first to try.

[powerisyours]

[ Perhaps once I start sweating and am obviously having trouble staying upright ]

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Keep your word, and you shouldn't have to worry. He is angry, certainly, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with you and he's not stupid enough to go after you on his own.

[trollininthedeep]

Well he should know better but he did run into the fight when I wasn't even going to attack him in the first place so who knows.

You're not going to collapse are you?

[powerisyours]

You were hurting someone he cares a great deal about. I would have done the same.

[ Just. Propping myself up against the wall because I refuse to give in until this is over ]

I'm fine.

[trollininthedeep]

Except you might have a shot at winning.

And I highly doubt you're as fine as you say so if you do end up falling over, don't expect any sympathy because you're trying to be tough.

[powerisyours]

There's a difference between going out and looking for a fight, and trying to protect someone.

Tired, but it's less to do with acting tough and more do to with seeing things through.

[trollininthedeep]

The results would be the same in either case. Either win or lose and, if you lose, doesn't matter what the intentions are.

So once you're done talking, you'll fall asleep.

[powerisyours]

I won't argue with that.

. . . If I don't eat, then yes.

[trollininthedeep]

[Of course.]

There's leftovers in the fridge.

[powerisyours]

[ Eating will only prevent me from passing out here and now

so carefully making my way in that direction ]

Thank you.

[trollininthedeep]

[There's not much in there. Ice candies are in the freezer and there's pasta and vegetables in a bowl]

[powerisyours]

[ Your fridge is so going to be empty. My battery's running on low and it all looks delicious. ]

I'll pay you back for it later.

[ FOOD ]

[trollininthedeep]

[it's a small fridge. I can't put much in there to begin with.]

Pay me back how? I still haven't taught you how to cook.

[powerisyours]

[ It'll tide me over until I get somewhere a little more comfortable to pass out ]

I'll figure something out.

[trollininthedeep]

[Why do I think that comfortable place will end up being my bed]

[powerisyours]

[ Your bed is v. comfortable, for one, and is much closer than mine ]

[trollininthedeep]

[this is what you get for trying to keep someone alive.]

[powerisyours]

[ It was worth it ]

This is pretty good.

[ mouth full of food ]

[trollininthedeep]

Of course it is. I made it.
