[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He watches both memories, back to back. And then - in a tone that is more praising than judging:]

You're terrifying.

[Note: Still missing an arm and an eye.]

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, did very little in those memories. [demurely.]

...I, ah, assume you will have those replaced, once you...make new ones?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You give yourself so very little credit.

[A laugh]

And actually that is why I was looking for you.

[He holds out a hand to Maiden]

Come. Let's walk and talk.

[forgottenmercy]

He would, ah, have done it on his own.

[takes his hand] Of, ah, course.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

True. But he was underestimating you the entire time. And you knew it.

[His fingers curl around Maiden's before he turns to lead them back towards the hotel.]

[forgottenmercy]

Men, ah, do.

[and going to follow after, then.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I hope you don't lump me in that category.

[forgottenmercy]

You are, ah, a little young for that.

But you, ah, did underestimate me at first...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Stiffens at being called young. What does THAT have to do with anything?]

I did.

And never again since then.

[forgottenmercy]

[it does mean a lot when age is a factor for social determination.]


You, ah, learned.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Whatever! Intensity decided he was an adult at age 10]

Is that why you put up with me, Maiden?

[forgottenmercy]

Because you, ah, learned? I, ah, suppose so.

But if you, ah, had not, then it would not matter.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No? You'd still treat me the same?

[forgottenmercy]

If you, ah, had not learned, then you would not be speaking to me, no?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that the logical conclusion?

I could have just held a vendetta against you forever. Certainly that's not unheard of.

[For him especially]

[forgottenmercy]

A vendetta requires you to think someone is worthy of notice, no? Rather than, ah, below your regard at all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You can still crush an insect just for the sake of crushing it.

As your--

[Wait for the sarcasm]

---husband so often demonstrated.

[forgottenmercy]

That is, ah, true.


...about, ah, business...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Using FiN powers to open the elevator doors and punch in FiN's floor.

That way he doesn't have to let go of Persephone]

I need the new eye and arm connector reattached.

[forgottenmercy]

[can't we just take the stairs. but focusing more on the job that is to be done so he can get through this elevator ride because he never got over the 'can't be in small places he can't leave whenever he wants' problem.

not having a very good time, here. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Chalking that up to "shit Intensity didn't know"]

Maiden?

[forgottenmercy]

[doesn't respond, too busy trying not to have a panic attack.

and the second the doors open, will stumble out in a hurry if he can.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Let's go of his hand]

...

You could have asked.

[forgottenmercy]

[give him a few moments as he calms down.]

...it does not, ah, matter now.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No.

But don't think I won't remember that.
