[.....mOTHERFUCKER I FORGOT TO GIVE HER BRUISES FROM THEIR WRESTLING/KICKING DURING TRIAL AAAAAA COULD I HAVE GOTTEN SCAPED???]
Ah...
[well.
if that's the case - and jiuqing had been wondering, because every other gumball had been instantaneous (she knows that firsthand; if vanille's healing had been delayed, she might have died) - then...
he'd been acting strangely even before chinatsu and chang geng had ied, so...]
...I'm glad, then. That you've come back to yourself.
[ you had your chance to die with malik and you didn't take it so suffer. ]
...Me, too. [ he looks away, smile fading a little. ] I didn't think anything of it at the time, but I hate that I acted like that. No one deserved to hear the kinds of things I was saying.
So... I'm sorry, too. For talking about your life that way.
I mean... I did believe it at the time, so that's probably why. But that's part of refraction, I guess.
[ ... ]
Steel said they weren't sure about Percy, though. I don't know how much I can really do if he's still refracting, but I'll at least try to keep an eye on him, in case anything he does looks similar to what I was going through.

[she smiles faintly]
It's alright. I'm... glad to hear that it wasn't really you. I thought so, but you were so insistent, I almost caught myself doubting it.

He did not come out of that safely just to fall to this place's whims again.

It's just a precaution, doc. Just in case. I want him to be alright, too - believe me.
no subject
...yes. I - my apologies. Today has left me a little on edge.
no subject
It's just... if this is the only way that I can help, then I want to try, you know? It's the least I can do.

That makes sense.
