[EVEN MORE AAAAAAAAA but he comes over, concerned. i hate that it happened to her again.]

...Can I get you anything? Water, painkillers?

[doublefists]

[ ghh.

she pulls her blanket closer to her. ]

M'okay. [ raspy voiced, tired. ] You don't need to get anything.

[agleam]

If you're sure.

[after a moment:]

Do you want to talk about what happened?

[doublefists]

Does it matter? None of it was real.

[ but she knows what he's going to say, so: ]

I know, I know. [ it still sucks, it still leaves damage ]

[agleam]

[after a moment:]

I'm not going to push you into talking about it, at least. I'm just sorry for whatever you went through.

[doublefists]

[ sorry for what you went through... and sorry for subjecting rupert to a thought share of a blurry powerpoint quality vision of a guy in a familiar yellow coat getting thrown and splattered into a wall by this thing. ]

[agleam]

[WELL

he startles a little bit because what the fuck!! surprised enough that he asks on instinct:]

Is that what hurt you?

[doublefists]

[ YEAH IT STARTLED HER TOO SHE GETS IT

a beat, and then kind of choked out: ]

-- Yeah. Yeah, it. I went after it. After that.

[agleam]

[can't say i blame you, but...]

Do you know what it was...? Some kind of monster, obviously, but...

[doublefists]

Ogre. Big darkspawn.

[ ... ]

I was supposed to protect them from it.

[agleam]

On your own...?

[doublefists]

No, Ace and Yoru were there. And that Nanaki girl.

[agleam]

Ah - right, I just know sometimes people start off alone, or get put into specific roles...

[pausing for a moment]

I know it doesn't change what happened, but - I'm sure he'd tell you it wasn't your fault even if it was really him.

[doublefists]

Stupid thing is he barely cares.

[ rubs at her face. ]

I told him, and he shrugged at me. I would've punched him if I'd felt up to it.

[ CARE MORE ABOUT YOURSELF YOU DUMB NOBLE ]

[agleam]

Would you be upset, if your positions were reversed...?

[doublefists]

If I died in front of him and he couldn't do anything about it? Gee. That's never happened before.

[ this is so uncalled for and she pauses. ]

-- Sorry.

[agleam]

[pauses]

...No, I'm sorry. You're right, I shouldn't have said that.

[doublefists]

[ shifts, wincing slightly. ]

You didn't mean it in a bad way.

[agleam]

Sure. It was still pretty stupid, though.

[kind of half as a joke, hoping it'll break the tension.]

[doublefists]

[ makes a face at him, but she's not really that mad. ]

... He takes so many beatings already, I just - I don't want him to take more. That's all. I shouldn't have told him what happened.

[agleam]

Yeah. I think he would have rather known... But I get how even that's frustrating, too. Like he just thinks it's fine if that kind of thing happens, right?

[doublefists]

Yeah, exactly. It's not fine and he's stupid for thinking so.

[ angy ]

[agleam]

...I do think he's learning, at least. Not to say you don't have a right to be angry. Maybe I'll give him another talk later...

[doublefists]

He's better than he was. But maybe he'll listen to you more. [ slumps into the mattress, frowning. i just want him to be happy. ]

[agleam]

I'll try, at least. But it's not like he doesn't care what you have to say, either.

[you're a good friend.]
