But you said neither of them are hurt, right?

[She saw Kagachi, so she knows he at least didn't have any visible injuries, but.]

I mean... [She gives a little sigh.] Yeah, but what's new here?

[unpredicktable]

Permanently hurt. Tamamo cut off one of her extra tails to make sure the demon couldn't make any noise.

[ dick was. not around when she made that choice so he's belatedly unsure how to feel about it ]

... Good point. Still-- you know you can talk about it.

[uncurtained]

—Oh my god. Is she okay? I mean - as okay as she can be.

[She nods, giving him a small smile.]

Yeah, I know. I just... There's a lot that happened, and there's been some other stuff this week. [...] I think I just need a second to sort it out for myself. But, you know I appreciate it, like always.

[unpredicktable]

I took care of the stump, but... her pain tolerance is ridiculously high. She's fine. Demanded ice cream when we got back.

[ and as mvp of their quest she got it :T ]

Other stuff? [ hm ] You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I can go if you need the time to think.

[uncurtained]

Well... It sounds like it's as good as something like that could have gone?

[But also, yikes.]

No, you don't have to go, really. It's just... I don't think I can tell you about the other stuff. I know how that sounds, sorry.

[unpredicktable]

[ dick nods because. yea. yikes. ]

Yeah. Sounds like I'm talking to myself. [ self-dig! anyway; ] It's fine. You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to.

[uncurtained]

No, that’s not...

[There’s a long moment of pause as she decides the best way to phrase this.]

I want to, I just can’t. You know...?

[unpredicktable]

[ ... dick tilts his head ]

Is... it a role thing?

[ :? ]

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

Yes. [...] I really think that might be the limit of what I can say here, though. Carlos warned me.

[unpredicktable]

That's fine. I'd rather we not risk another incident like the other day.

[uncurtained]

[She tilts her head.]

The other day?

[unpredicktable]

[ dick. gestures vaguely ]

A few weeks back? With you, Kagachi and... Escha?

[ the Original incident ]

[uncurtained]

Oh, that other day. Honestly, it’s weird, that feels like it was so long ago...

[unpredicktable]

Well... it kinda was. We've been here-- what, six weeks now?

[uncurtained]

It feels longer.

[...]

What do you think you’ll do after this?

[unpredicktable]

[ dick... blinks a little, rubbing the back of his neck with a shrug ]

Not sure. I... don't know that I can keep the hero thing, after.

[uncurtained]

I know you mentioned a while ago you were thinking of taking a break, but... Did something else happen?

[unpredicktable]

I killed someone, Beck.

[ if you ever think he's over that, spoilers, he's not, ]

[uncurtained]

[She doesn't want to get into the same discussion about whether or not it was wrong given how the last one went, but—]

That doesn't mean you can't do good things for other people.

[unpredicktable]

[ he shrugs, looking away ]

Yeah, maybe. [ he obviously doesn't want to linger on that discussion, so: ] What are you gonna do?

[uncurtained]

[She hesitates for a moment, but:]

Break up with my boyfriend and go back to school, I guess.

[unpredicktable]

[ huh ]

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

[uncurtained]

Yeah, there's a reason for that. He's an asshole.

[hm]

[unpredicktable]

What did he do?

[ why does he immediately go #concerned ]

cw for drug use

[uncurtained]

[With a sigh:]

Well, there was the time one of my friends walked in on him getting a blowjob from another girl at a party, and his excuse was that she said she had good coke and he was stressed. That's probably a good place to start.
