[ A flicker of surprise, then — amusement. ]

Lots of people around here underestimating me. Or overestimating, I guess, depending on how you look at it.

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

Well, don't keep me in suspense. Did you keep it?

Re: ENDGAME

[at_heart]

Oh, we kept it. Made a promise, after all.

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

[He lets out a bark of a laugh.]

You made a promise to protect yourself?

Re: ENDGAME

[at_heart]

I made a promise to protect LiliS.

[ He would be so much worse at protecting himself that it's not even funny,,, ]

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

You make it sound like you are not a part of LiliS or that you would not protect yourself? Sometimes sacrificing is easier.

But you aren't here to hear me prattle, are you? Did those you care for come out unharmed?

Re: ENDGAME

[at_heart]

[ He doesn't blink at that observation, but you know. Probably for reasons. ]

Too much poison for the antidotes to take care of it all, but we got a win. So Persi's okay.

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

I noticed you didn't mention yourself.

Re: ENDGAME

[at_heart]

She's the only one who took it without an antidote.

[ Simply. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

That means three teams did select you. Am I correct?

Re: ENDGAME

[at_heart]

Nah, only two. Every vial had two doses in it.

[ Things you might not realize if you didn't get poison and have to dole doses out. ]

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

Ah. I had assumed the antidote would have had too as well, but how overly generous of them to not.

And are you upset with the other units at large?

Re: ENDGAME

[at_heart]

You mean, am I upset with you?

[ A genuine question. Because maybe Alex doesn't, maybe Alex really wants to know if he's upset with units like sIV for never taking care of themselves. ]

—I mean, that'd be hella hypocritical. If BiT hadn't lost the coin toss, it would've been an exchange.

Re: ENDGAME

[firstworldproblem]

Injuries cause those to become emotional with good reason. I am simply asking where we stand.

[But he laughs.]

Good. Though for such a show of practicality I think would this type of event happen again, I would pick a different unit. Just to keep it interesting.

[ FUNNY STORY ABOUT THAT IN FACT but he'll deal with the Alizarin Fallout shortly. ] [ With an expansive gesture: ]

Hey, I keep telling people, I'm not gonna take this kind of thing personally. The production has too much control over my life as it is.

[ Hands settling back on his hips. ]

Not that I've got anything against you livening things up a little by not poisoning us next game, but in the meantime? I'll settle for a drink.
