okay

[ here he is! at the park!!! looking around to find nimona ]

[sharkgirl]

[she's near a tree! just staring up at it, all bundled in her hoodie with the hoodie up. she glances over her shoulder at him when he approaches.]

You don't gotta do the question marks, I'm fine. I just wanted to figure out the tree house. [...] And ask you something, too, but you gotta promise you won't be mad.

[foreverphantom]

Okay.

What is it?

[sharkgirl]

You didn't kill Janeway, did you? I don't care if you did. I'm just curious.

[foreverphantom]

[ blinks ]

No, I didn't. What made you think I did?

[ his tone isn't judgemental or shocked at all. just curious ]

[sharkgirl]

[shrug.]

The way the burn marks were kind of made me think of what it'd be like if she'd tried to shoot me and I was a cat. [...] Long shot, and I wanted to rule you out.

[foreverphantom]

...huh.

No, I wouldn't trust myself to use your power in a life or death situation. I don't know it well enough.

[sharkgirl]

Yeah, fair. I'm surprised yours worked when I wanted it to.

[foreverphantom]

Did you end up using it, today? I didn't really catch what happened when the whole hostage situation was...undone.

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. Whatever happened with the hostage thing, I don't know. I just know Sigrun stabbed him, and I didn't want her to kill him because that piece of shit deserved to get voted for and executed.

So I grabbed her and moved her away.

[foreverphantom]

Huh. Nice move.

[sharkgirl]

[she's brave for 24 hours so it's a little that too, but she's not exactly aware of this.]

Thanks.

[foreverphantom]

It could've worked out disastrously if you didn't use it properly when you went for it, since you're so out of practice with it, but...

Color me impressed.

[sharkgirl]

[oh my god she just shoves him, laughing.]

Asshat. [affectionate!] Whatever, at least I can be a fox without getting stabbed by a thirteen year old.

[foreverphantom]

Wha--hey! That was a fluke, alright! If I'd had my intangibility, nothing would've even happened!

[sharkgirl]

[she laughs again, pulling a face.]

Yeah, yeah. Why do you two keep beefing, anyway?

[foreverphantom]

Mostly?

Because he keeps sticking his nose into matters I would rather keep private. And if I let him get away with it, then it would only encourage him to keep doing it.

[ and also because he refuses to suffer the indignity of being bested by a literal baby. ]

[sharkgirl]

You know you can just tell him no without punching him?

[she's mostly amused, though.] Like what's he gonna do. Whine?

[foreverphantom]

Telling him no has not, historically, worked for me. It just increases his efforts.

[sharkgirl]

Huh. I tell him no all the time and he listens. [...] Granted, I'm way cooler than you.

[foreverphantom]

[ rolls his eyes ]

I'm sure it doesn't help that I accidentally punched him last week.

[sharkgirl]

How do you accidentally punch someone...

[foreverphantom]

He shoved me into one of the picture booths, set off the flash to blind me, and then jumped me once I was in there.

And I tend towards the "fight" side of "fight or flight."

[sharkgirl]

Oh, that's right, I saw that picture.

[help]

I'm not gonna tell you he's not a goblin. He is. But he's my friend.

[foreverphantom]

[ oh god he's showing it to people????? ]

How?
