That's the other side for you. [ so, so fondly... ]

[foreverphantom]

Vi, I don't understand a single thing that's happened in the past 24 hours.

[doublefists]

[ help she kind of laughs at that, reaching to ruffle his hair gently. ]

Kiddo, I was over there for weeks and I didn't understand what was going on. [ a beat. ] You really did have a quick turn-around time, huh.

[foreverphantom]

I knew I would but somehow it's more awkward than I imagined.

Also, who's the kiddo? I'm literally older than you.

[doublefists]

You don't act like it.

[ she's annoying and going to keep doing it, help. ]

You okay after all that? Looks like they ran you through the paces, but.

[foreverphantom]

I mean, I'm hungover, but that's about it.

[ and freshly pierced. newly holed ]

[doublefists]

I meant after getting stabbed on Sunday.

[ she's thinking a little about how her voice sounded off during his execution, which comes across, but: ]

Multiple piercings, I guess.

[foreverphantom]

[ snrks a little at that ] I mean...I was healed up the second I got there. So, yeah, I'm fine. [ surely vi should know that?? ]

[doublefists]

Yeah - okay. Not physically. I meant how are you dealing with being scapegoated and killed by someone who you seem to like, but I'm not gonna force you to answer if you don't have one.

[ sir your emotions ]

[foreverphantom]

Oh.

I mean. I would've preferred not to, obviously. And it's kinda embarrassing, to have had that whole execution happen and then come back right after.

Mostly I just feel bad that I got to come back all healed up but Maya's still injured from my execution.

[doublefists]

She better have gone to the defib.

[ grumbles. but. ]

... That's not something you can control. But I get it. I'd feel bad too.

[foreverphantom]

She did. But it heals a lot slower than instant death healing.

She should've just let me take that blow in the first place... It was meant for me anyway.
