[ deliberate, voice even ] The point is taken, thank you.
She already understands that she is not welcome. And I will talk with her.

As for John—
I don’t think he takes pleasure in it, no. But... [ brows creasing a moment ]
Well, all I can really say with certainty is that he’ll die if he thinks it’s appropriate to die. It’s... the rest of this that’s seemingly new.

Re: Sometime 241

[earthquaked]

I'm not here to fulfill whatever death wish he thinks he has. If it comes to it, I'll make my decision.

What "rest of this" is new?

Re: Sometime 241

[shutthefoxup]

Just making sure Nychta is filled in too. That way if there was a further issue we could discuss it now and get it over with. Since that would involved more than just one member of Lilis.

If you're only interested in discussing just John's missteps, this meeting is pointless. If that's the case, we only need to talk with John.

As far as you go, you're just trying to ensure we won't come after Lilis over John, right? That decision is up to Nychta. I'll support whatever she needs to feel backed up by us.

Re: Sometime 241

My goal is to not have this become something where we strike each other relentlessly in games. I don’t want that kind of war with any unit, but you make Coriander happy, and that’s something worth protecting as well.

Nychta, [ turning to her ] I do not know you well, but I know you act as WILD CITY’s guardian. That alone should have been reason for John to show you a degree of respect. I cannot undo what has been done, but I can do everything in my power to make things right.

[ a pause ] The part of this that is new for John, at least as I’ve known him, is where he’d attack someone without planning to die in the attempt. He says he lost control. It is nowhere near sufficient as an excuse.

[ she nudges Silver gently, thanks, but. ]

If you think that alone would make John respect me your head's not on right. He doesn't respect shit about me. John doesn't see me as a guardian, he sees me as a fucking dog with no leash and decided to put me down like one. I don't see how that's "losing control." I have plenty of experience with losing control.

We don't relentlessly hound Lilis to begin with and with your Haruto clone there we especially had no intention of doing it. What kind of people do you think we are?

Re: Sometime 241

[shutthefoxup]

We don’t go after a unit for the actions of an individual. We haven’t punished Sensitiv for Izanagi and we wouldn’t punish Lilis for John.

If we hit Lilis in games, it’s not because of John.

And seconding Nychta that isn’t how respect works with John. I can get John here if we want to actually talk to him, by the way. He can answer that for us real quick.

[ When Nychta says, “a fucking dog with no leash,” there’s a subtle wince from Amaranth—sympathetic, maybe.

She turns to Silver. ] If you think it would help.
[ mournful, almost? ] You’d be the better judge of it, between us.

[ to Nychta ] ...And I know... entirely too well, in fact, what you mean—about John seeing you that way. To be very blunt, I do not think he has told me the entire truth of his feelings; it’s just that I don’t think I can get any more detail from him than I already have. But... speaking as just myself, rather than a representative of my unit...

[ she meets her eyes ] You have my entire sympathy, and my deepest anger on your behalf.

Re: Sometime 241

[earthquaked]

[ -- vaguely stunned by that, and confused, but she goes quiet.

... and after a moment, glances at Silver. ]

Re: Sometime 241

[shutthefoxup]

Up to you, Nychta. I can get John here for you if you’d like us to discuss things with him.

If you don’t want any action taken against Lilis as a whole, then we should get John here.As it stands through, I don’t think anyone on Lilis has much control over his behavior. So any talk without him will be ineffective.

Re: Sometime 241

[worthathousand]

He'll come, if you ask him.
Especially if you tell him that it's the best way to ensure his actions don't have repercussions for the rest of the unit.

Re: Sometime 241

[earthquaked]

... no. I don't want to see him.

I can't promise I wouldn't rip out his throat right here.

[ that's a pretty blatant lie, but she just leans heavily back against her chair and takes a long sip of her coffee. ]

Re: Sometime 241

[shutthefoxup]

Okay, if you don't want to see him then I won't call him.

[Reaching over to take her hand]

Want to head home then?
