We didn't leave him anywhere. It's not like we're always hanging around each other. Like so.

[ they gesture around, like showing how war and famine aren't here. ]

We had no reason to think he'd get attack.

[intrapid]

You were all out there being traitors behind the cult's back, you should've at least been prepared for something like that.

[ he tries not to sound accusatory but also, AAAAAAAAAAAA



deep breaths ]

You guys know better now, so you need to stick together. Don't go off by yourself at midnight just 'cause you got a brat asking you to.

[mygod]

[ THEY'RE BEING LECTURED BY SAID BRAT.... OK ]

Karma... you're a lot nicer than you let people believe...

[intrapid]

[ he's going to destroy them ]

Are you even listening to me?!

[mygod]

I am. I'll be careful. I don't want to get killed here of all places.

[ it feels too much like losing. ]

But my point stands.

[intrapid]

[ not here of all places, not by karma of all people ]

Your point isn't even what we're talking about.

[mygod]

It's related! You're concerned about our safety!

[ WHICH IS A NICE THING ]

[intrapid]

[ NO ]

Stand real still and don't move.

[ he's going to punch them in the face is2g ]

[mygod]

You just told me to be careful, so no, I think not.

[ NO PUNCHY ]

[intrapid]

It's fine. I won't kill you.

[ just maim to an inch of their life-- ]

[mygod]

Mm, no one who says that ever means well, you know!

Are you that adverse to people saying nice things about you?

[intrapid]

No. [ YES. no. ] It's just... a conversation killer, okay? [ aka he will kill anybody who says anything, shut up ]

Let's just get back on topic.

[mygod]

Okay, okay.

[ murdery tsun... ]

I'll make sure the others are careful too.

[intrapid]

[ tsuns bc he died before he could murder ]

Good. And that includes all your little charges.

[mygod]

[ karma.... ]

Do you do this with them, too?

[intrapid]

Who? Your charges? Some of 'em.

[ the worrying ones!!! there are so many, actually ]

[mygod]

[ pesto is once again thinking he is nice but now they know not to say it out loud ]

Hmm, are you used to giving these kinds of warning?

[intrapid]

[ they're learning... if only other people could be the same ]

It's not like I make a habit of it or anything. This sort of thing is situational, and as far as my classmates go, they all know what they're getting into and they're all fully capable of handling the risks. I believe in them.

[ the fucks here, though? no he does not!! ]

[mygod]

Mm, well, I guess people are used to different rules, too. People who aren't used to having to protect themselves, or are normally super powerful, don't always have to think about survival in a certain way.

[ and now they must. ]

[intrapid]

Yeah. It's quite the reality check, to suddenly find yourself powerless in the face of everything. But it's not a bad thing, to be humbled like that.

[mygod]

Mm.

Well, it's always better in a less dangerous situation, though.
