[ resting her cheek in her hand. without hesitating: ]

It did. I don't really remember it now, though.

[ like a bad dream. ]

[cawnflict]

[ what a pain in the ass ability!!!!!!!!! ]

...well, I don't really feel like giving you my origin story, so if you feel like fighting again let me know ahead of time. I don't want to ruin my new clothes.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ buddy it's not exactly fun from this end either. ]

No promises, sorry~.

[ she really just sounds tired, though, and after a moment she adds quietly: ]

...thanks.

[cawnflict]

I should be thanking you, instead.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ u wot m8 ]

[cawnflict]

I was behaving pretty badly. Not just when I stabbed your friend, but other times as well. The role of a villain for me made sense when I was home.

[ghostfromthemachine]

...the "role," huh.

Needed a reminder there were other options?

[cawnflict]

... I don't really believe in it, yet. After two decades of being cruel to a hierarchy that hated me, it's hard to care. [ SIGHING.] But I forgot that I was going to try.

[ghostfromthemachine]

What happened to not wanting to give me your origin story...

...mm. Well, if you want less extreme reminders that you don't need to be cruel the next time habit takes over, I can promise that.

[cawnflict]

That was the summary you'd find on the back of a book.

Nobody wants less extreme.

[ he's joking. ]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ aims a kick in the vague direction of his shin without any real force behind it ]

I don't think either of us really wants to find out what goes for more extreme.

[cawnflict]

[ ow... ]

It's good to be curious?

[ghostfromthemachine]

Curiosity will kill the crow as well as the cat?!

[cawnflict]

Perhaps.

[ A pause. ]

I won't let you do whatever you want a second time, but I will be more mindful of your feelings.

[ghostfromthemachine]

... I really don't know if you could stop me. So.

[ puffing out a breath ]

I'll try to... I don't know. Be more honest about them?

[cawnflict]

[ he's not saying it, but he's pretty serious about not letting her again—he's, you know, not planning on being a horrible shithead anytime soon, but frankly speaking he didn't like it. he was never afraid of it, but considering his power... dying isn't on the radar. he can feel the tug of death every time he uses his talent; he got accustomed to it.

but also she was way too powerful.

so... he's just going to be more prepared. if he's awful again. ]

Honesty isn't something anyone here is good at.

[ghostfromthemachine]

Goodness, I hadn't noticed at all.

[cawnflict]

[ nudging her shin with the tip of his boot.

didn't you ban jokes!!!!!!!!!! why can't he make them!!!! ]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ she banned jokes about things that are DISTRESSING? what happened to being mindful???

...trying to boop him back again. we're mature adults here, ]

[cawnflict]

[ mindful means he won't stab someone in front of her that she likes. probably. ]

You should make a list of people you like. I can't read minds.

That's a joke, by the way.
