[ ...

that sounds a little lonely, in an odd way. ]

... I hope that works for you.

[sadiskick]

[ It's very lonely, but she won't talk about it and tries never to acknowledge it. She buries that feeling underneath all her pride.

She smiles, but there's little cheer in it. ]

It does most of the time.

[soba]

[ only most ]

Well. At least you have another person who knows about you, then.

[sadiskick]

[ Yeah, she died a couple times, so most.

She's silent for a moment before she leans over and pushes his cheeks together. ]

[soba]

[ kfjslgjdsgds

he makes a sputtering sound that's probably words but it's hard to tell ]

[sadiskick]

[ She laughs, and she looks more like a teenage girl than she has her entire time here.

She smushes his cheeks again, her fingers clumsy behind her sleeves. ]

Want to say that again?

[soba]

Hrop!!

[ that was probably 'stop' ]

[sadiskick]

Oh, do you want to hop for me?

[ She lets him go, so he can hop, forgetting that he's injured still.

She knows he said stop. ]

[soba]

[ he's rubbing his cheeks ]

Do I look like a rabbit?

[sadiskick]

[ Her smile is dangerous. ]

Yes. You do.

[ Maybe dying did not save Toi from this. Meltryllis is looking him like he's prey. ]

[soba]

[ every day i wonder what would happen if she lived and i get scared like i did with four in subd ]

I'll get you some glasses.

[sadiskick]

[ yea

i'll tell you something at endgame

Meltryllis smile only grows sharper. ]

Do you want to be in more pain that much? I'll be happy to oblige you, as a whim.

[ And cause herself pain, too, but that's besides the point. ]

[soba]

Oh? Feel free.

[ he's saying this because he

knows it will backfire on her ]

[sadiskick]

[ She sweeps him off his feet with a knife leg. ]

[soba]

[ skfjfjkslgjsd

he's falling over and landing on his back

at least it's not his front, which is where the injury is ]

[sadiskick]

[ She gasps and stumbles a little, not used to feeling pain for something so minor, but she doesn't regret it.

He said, feel free. ]

You need to build up pain tolerance.

[ Or maybe it'd better for her to feel pain normally. ]

[soba]

It's pretty good for a normal teenager.

[ ""normal"" he says as if he isn't a kappa ]

[sadiskick]

You got turned into a kappa.

[ Meltryllis doesn't know normal, but she knows that's not normal for most people. ]

[soba]

... I mean, not counting that part.

[sadiskick]

Is drug dealing normal?

[soba]

No...

[sadiskick]

[ Meltryllis honestly wasn't sure if it was or not where he was from. Or in general.

But that proved her point. ]

So?

[soba]

I don't usually get into situations where I need to build that up, still.

[sadiskick]

I can tell.

[ What she means is she hopes he won't have to, but she's not from a situation that she thinks it's likely. ]

Learn to block. Or cheat your way through it.

[soba]

How do you cheat your way through it?
