Oh— [Oh. WELL. He can put two and two together pretty quickly, though he looks tired.] So that's the game for the week? Hah. Well! That was me- [SAID SIMPLY.] -so I'm imagining I was right about what I saw being you. Looks like that was some sort of - Empathy spell?

[But the barrier itself is dissolved now, even as he glances around for traces of it.]

—Er, there was some man. You were angry at him - he was unfaithful. And terribly rude about it, on top of that?

[But she FORGAVE HIM ANYWAY he wants to bust into that memory and kick that guy's ass.]

[uncurtained]

That was you? Were you okay?! I mean, that thing, and your arm...

[As he goes on, though, she sighs.]

...Benji, probably.

[givethemhell]

Ah, yes - I was fine. Haha, it was quite the experience! But I managed to make it back home in one piece, and Lan Zhan was able to slay that creature, too.

[He just casually skips over all the parts where he almost died in between point A and point B, it's fine. ANYWAY, he clearly seems more upset about... what he saw... than what Beck saw...]

Why was he like that?

[uncurtained]

What does in one piece mean in this scenario, exactly?

[She’s just about the opposite - she sounds pretty concerned about what happened to him, but she’s nonchalant as she continues.]

He usually isn’t. He’s been... difficult lately, but...

[givethemhell]

In one piece! Nothing was missing.

[WAVING A HAND one piece is one piece, it's fine, don't ask for details they're all very bad!!

Speaking of very bad, he's making a face.]

I don't like him. [SAID SO DECISIVELY he really is 3 at heart.] He made you upset! And he didn't even seem to care!

[uncurtained]

Right, but were you hurt at all?

[Other than the arrow part which she already knows, and is Bad.]

...It's nice of you to be worried. Honestly, I don't really think we'll be together much longer.

[givethemhell]

A bit, but you know, that's to be expected when you're stuck in a cave for a little while with something like that.

[He says it light and with a little laugh, though... God. Anyway, he'll set aside his intense judgment for that guy to give her a sympathetic look.]

Good! You should have someone with you who can at least understand when to apologize. Isn't that just having a basic understanding of being decent?

[uncurtained]

But it wasn't anything that couldn't heal easily...?

[She still looks concerned, but... A little bit touched, too.]

You say that, but... He can be really sweet, sometimes.

[givethemhell]

Mm, right. I have a very robust body, fortunately!

[His stupid ass was unconscious for like a week or something and he almost died but NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT.

He's also just deadass giving Beck a look.]

Shouldn't you be aiming for someone who's really sweet all the time? Or at least most of it - or at least not like that when they aren't being sweet?

[uncurtained]

As long as you're sure.

[The smile she gives is... a little bittersweet, but it's there all the same.]

...People who are sweet all the time don't exist.

[givethemhell]

I'm sure, I'm sure - don't fret over it! I'm still here, aren't I?

[In like. A different body BUT HEY at least the snurtle wasn't responsible for him having to ditch the first one!

Also, his answer is disgustingly immediate:]

I know of at least one! [His shijie...] But you're right, generally speaking. Pick someone who's more bearable when they aren't being sweet, then!

[uncurtained]

[She exhales, an amused sound, even as she shakes her head.]

If only it was as easy as picking someone, right?

[givethemhell]

Hah - well, not like anyone could say anything but "yes, it would be" to that, you know?

[Sometimes you just get unlucky and fall for jerks though, hm.]

[uncurtained]

[There's something in her expression for a moment, like she's thinking of saying something... But then she gives him a smile.]

What about you? Do you have anyone like that back home? [...] Not someone like him, I mean, but - someone special to you.

[givethemhell]

[GLAD SHE CLARIFIED. He laughs a little, because he immediately thinks of Lan Zhan for some reason but! Haha! That's so silly!]

No, no - not in that way. I was very busy and have been for quite some time! When there are so many things that you have to tend to, it's all you can do just to stay on top of it.

[No time to date when you're inventing demonic cultivation in a cave!]

[uncurtained]

Well, I hope that changes for you soon. You deserve to be with someone great, too.

[givethemhell]

[The gay thoughts can't catch him now, he's living in their cupboard.]

Haha, that's kind of you! [HE'S STILL A PARIAH but hey it's the thought that counts.] I'd always hoped when I was young that I'd be able to get married to someone nice, raise a family, live on a farm... Well, at least I got the farm, haha!

[AND A KID THAT WASN'T HIS BUT HE RAISED HIM ANYWAY.]

[uncurtained]

[She shoves at his shoulder lightly with a little laugh.]

You don't have to say it like it's too late, you know.

[givethemhell]

[He just dramatically places a hand against his chest, and raises the other to place the back of his hand against his forehead... This fuckin drama queen.]

It is, though! I'm already well past my prime - I'm an old man! Wrinkled and tired, with a bent back and sore knees any time I get up out of bed in the morning...! It's far too late for me to find anyone who would settle down with such a crusty fool.

[uncurtained]

Ah, yes, 27... So close to the cold, hard grave...

[She’s just going along with it.]

[givethemhell]

[He very

very briefly considers telling her he's actually like 35, but considering how she reacted the last time he mentioned he was dead, he decides against it. THAT'S PROBABLY A JOKE THAT WOULD TURN THIS CONVERSATION SOUTH.]

I know! I've made my bed in it already, just in case my hip pops out of place and I can't stand properly anymore. Could happen any day, you know?

[uncurtained]

Well, lucky for you, I’ll be here for all your hip popping needs.

[that

may have come out wrong.]

[givethemhell]

[That absolutely came out wrong, but he's just going to be merciful since they all need a little mercy right now.]

Thank god! I can pop my hip out of socket any time I want, now!

[WHY WOULD HE WANT TO.]

[uncurtained]

[She laughs.]

Just keep in mind I charge per incident.

[givethemhell]

Hah - fair, I suppose! Do I at least get a roommate discount?

[WHAT IS SHE EVEN CHARGING IN, DICK CHIPS??]
