You're not pathetic, Brimstone.

[ puts a hand on his shoulder ]

[foreverphantom]

[ allows it! ]

What other word is there for what just happened? [ the fight ]

[productionhell]

An.... unfortunate fight?

[ leans against him ]

[foreverphantom]

Unfortunate because of how pathetic I was.

[ allows it ]

[productionhell]

I think you're being very hard on yourself. Saber is a master samurai, I'm pretty sure.

[foreverphantom]

And I could wipe out entire cities, entire militaries, without breaking a sweat. A samurai would have been nothing.

[productionhell]

Well-- why don't you work at being stronger as you are now? It's no substitute for the power you had before, but it could help a little.

[ also exercise releases endorphins ]

[foreverphantom]

I--what?

[ as though exercise has literally never occurred to him before ]

[productionhell]

You know, building strength! Look at Marcoh. I'm sure it took him a lot of hard work to get him to be that strong.

[foreverphantom]

Like...working out? Lifting weights?

[productionhell]

Yeah. And other forms of exercise.

[foreverphantom]

[ DRAMATICALLY ROLLS OVER IN EVEN MORE DEFEAT THAN BEFORE ]

[productionhell]

[ don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh ]

Is it that bad of an idea?

[foreverphantom]

...'ve never had to exercise for my strength before...

[productionhell]

[ don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh ]

Well, there's a first time for everything, isn't there?

[foreverphantom]

[ she should. she's allowed. ]

There's no way I can get back to what I had the slow, human way.

[productionhell]

[ she will not ]

Maybe not, but it's a start, isn't it?

[foreverphantom]

[ hunches in on himself a little more but otherwise doesn't respond. he's not sure how to. charlie has a point, but--it's hard to imagine. hard to stomach. ]

[productionhell]

[ pats his shoulder ]
