sadiskick | STAND BY ME ONEGAIIII (toi catchall)

Is drug dealing normal?

No...

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

But that proved her point. ]

So?

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

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.

How do you cheat your way through it?

[ ... ]

Hit me.

[ he raises an eyebrow ]

Really?

If you're too scared.

[ She holds out her sleeve-covered hand. ]

Squeeze my hand as hard as you can. Over the sleeve.

I'm not scared.

[ but fine, he'll grab her hand and squeeze

... he's still like, a 14 year old boy? like, his grip is stronger than expected and that's only because he has definitely gotten into a lot of fights, but it's nothing that would be super impressive. ]

Do I need to teach you how to defend yourself?

[ It's okay. She can't feel anything in her hands, so he will also feel that.

Or not feel how hard he's squeezing as it were. ]

... normally it's not an issue back home.

You aren't normally a kappa.

[ Just pointing out that he can't say anything about normally anymore. ]

[ ... ]

Fine.

What is that a fine to?

[ She's not going to guess for his sake. ]

I'll figure out defense.

If you die before we escape, I'll have to reevaluate what kind of person you are.

I don't plan on dying here.

I doubt anyone does, but that doesn't stop monsters from attacking.

[ Her fingers curl, and her lips press into a firm line. ]

That doesn't stop anyone from turning into a monster.

... I know.

But I meant that I'm not going to let it be easy, at least.

Leave your mark. However you can, make it something that can't easily be hidden or healed.

Well, it would be preferable if it's something whoever is attacking me doesn't notice.

[ She opens her mouth before she closes it. ]

A monster may be dumber than you think. Be smart, and think of yourself first.

[ i hate you

but he nods ]

... right. You, too.

[ It's end week. Every time she's opened her mouth and closed it in the days between being turned into a monster and getting murdered is her trying to confess to Toi.

She smiles, and it's softer than any smile she's given him before. ]

You don't have to worry about that.
