I'm not sure. We didn't get to talk long...

...of course.

[And she just looks...so embittered at the world.]

Says the girl whose pursuing a battle she can't win.

[A pause.

He wraps the blanket around one shoulder, crossing his legs, holding one corner tightly to his chest while extending the other out towards her eyes gently pleading. It's a hesitant invitation this time.

Can we be scared together? I won't hurt you if you don't hurt me.]

You mean getting out of this place? If so, that's different.

[Well, now you get her perspective on this.]

[You don't want to kill.]

[But you see an alien woman.]

[You know her every crime. Everything she has done to you. How much she has taken. How much excessive cruelty she's performed simply because she COULD. To you, to everyone around you, to so many alien races. How unrepentant she is, how she targets you, and your friends.]

[How she demands you to save her race for her to enslave as she took away yours.]

[How she killed the last of your family twice.]

[And suddenly it's so very easy to imagine yourself draining every tyrian drop from her body just to make sure SHE STAYED DOWN.]

No, it's not.

It's a battle you can't win, just going 'how do i leave this cell?' Leaving the cell is easy. That's NOT THE PROBLEM.

But I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Peeps dun like to listen to me anyway.

DW: I'll figure it out.
DW: Actually, I might already have.

...No, I am listening. What is the problem?

[ this is a very good thing with him since he sucks like that, but it might bring out his tsun side a bit ]

. . . Same for you.

[She hesitates. She hesitates for a long time.]

[But...]

[She wants to trust. She wants that comfort. She doesn't want to be alone.]

[Slowly, slowly she creeps forward, watching him for any sudden movements.]

But that's why I'm here. So you don't have to be alone while she's gone.

[There is still that pile of pumpkins.]

[And crying on the other side of them.]

[The urge to shrink away again is SO STRONG, but he fights it, uses his power for his own benefit to keep him steady, to keep his poker face on.

He stays still, waiting for her.]

TG: have u?

[There used to be a time when I would have been surprised to find out there was another person with the same sort of worldview and willingness to do horrible things as Lila.]

[Used to be. Instead he just nods.]

[blood is deets. Maybe the brown, then?]

[She scoffs.]

Ah, yes, arrested together, FUNTIMES.

DW: well. Maybe.
DW: But I'm still in the 'figure out what in this room does and doesn't kill me' state of mind.

The problem is HER.

The problem is always her. Everything wrong and will go wrong in my life is because of HER. Because she manipulates and controls everything that decides every major event that makes my life a living hell. Even when it comes to the fact I can walk through walls, she gets a dog girl who will port me RIGHT BACK HERE before I can get away.

She makes even saving an entire race leave a horrible taste in my mouth because doing so means she's gonna ENSLAVE 'em.

[ccccarefully stepping over the pumpkins to peek at the other side of the pile]

[From here]

Mm, that's where you need to go.

[ but it's good you came here ]

...I'm sorry. I know what it feels like, to be that powerless. It's maddening.

[Slowly, carefully, she crosses the last of the distance, moves a hand to grab onto his shirt and looks up. Is it okay?]

[There's a deep shudder and a squirm at the touch. But he closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and wraps the blanket around her, gently pulling her closer.]

[Brown is...different. It's not a death. But it's someone. Wren of Takshaka. You see him, another troll, and you realize it's been put in your hands on whether or not his race will live or die. You wonder if he'd ever see them if you saved them, or if he would remain dead?]
