[very... very tricky... it's hard to see good intention when you don't really believe it exists most of the time]

And? So you messaged me to make me wallow in this suffocating flesh? To listen to me weep like some sort of sniveling maiden?

[theseuschip]

Sometimes it helps to talk about it, that’s all. What good would it even do me to gloat about it?

[kisha]

What good would it even do to talk about it?

[theseuschip]

It might make you feel better?

[ what makes this slightly less tricky is talking to Hayame where Simon can’t see her terrifying angry faces ]

[kisha]

I assure you it will not.

[what is with all these huggy emotion weirdos why don't they understand that the best way to cope is represssion and hate fire???]

[theseuschip]

If you say so.
I just don’t know how you can bottle everything up like that. Being stuck in the wrong time, place, and body all at once is isolating enough as it is.

[ she’s either dealing with it way better than Simon did, or way, way worse.

maybe both, her method doesn’t sound super healthy. ]

[kisha]

Because unlike some people I am not trying to flaunt my weaknesses about for all to see!

[theseuschip]

Being thrown into bad circumstances doesn’t make somebody weak.

[kisha]

Letting then affect you does.

[what kind of worlds did these people grow up on???]

[theseuschip]

It’s really not that simple.
So, there’s no room in the Warrior Code for mercy and compassion? Or is that just you?

[kisha]

Mercy and compassion are the prerogative of the strong. As is deciding what makes a warrior- I cannot take credit for that.

[theseuschip]

Why not? You don’t seem to have a problem deciding what makes other people weak.
A lot of people would say that mercy and compassion are strengths, not optional favors.

[kisha]

All you need to decide that is eyes!

And a weakling, no matter their desire to give, will never find themself in position to do so. Is it a foreign tongue I speak? Is that why you never understand what it is I say?

[theseuschip]

I understand it, I just don’t agree with it. It’s not that black and white. Nobody just goes through life totally unaffected by their experiences.

[kisha]

But the strong know what they can show and what they cannot. It is as if you intentionally mishear me!

[... no hayame ur also just really bad at explaining urself]

[theseuschip]

That’s not what you said.
Why does it even matter? Why is being strong so much more important than everything else?

[kisha]

The weak spend their lives suffering and their deaths forgotten.

I will not die like that.

[er- live like that]

[theseuschip]

[ hayame oh my god ]

What is it with the dying thing? Nobody’s asking you to. We’d all really prefer it if you didn’t die, actually.

[kisha]

And has anyone asked what I prefer?

[theseuschip]

You want to die?

1/2

[kisha]

[kisha]

There are far more pressing matters at hand than arguing with you over such foolish things. I am done with this.

[theseuschip]

[ oh god it keeps happening...

how is Simon supposed to take this? He can’t afford to not take it seriously, right? WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO... ]

Wait, wait, Hayame— Jesus Christ, okay, now I’m even more worried. Look, you’ll be out of there soon, don’t do anything dangerous.

[kisha]

I do not need nor want your worry!

I will be out of here once it is no longer necessary that we hide amongst these humans! So continue the mission!

[theseuschip]

We are continuing the mission. It’s called multitasking.
I didn’t want this to turn into another argument, either. Yelling about which one of us is failing somehow by not prioritizing the right things hasn’t been getting us anywhere.

[ he keeps thinking he won’t do it the next time he talks to her, too. What is the wizardry Rey’s been using? ]
