[ she blows a raspberry at him!! she's being genuine, wow!! ]

Yeah, really though. I wanna know who is transforming into an animal and just fucking murdering people left and right. There's no way in hell they'll be honest about their power now, though.

I'm glad they didn't question me too hard on the Howling thing.

[haw]

[ he looks around for cups... before he just realizes, fuck it, who cares about cooties and shit. not him!! so he just goes and waterfalls a bit of liquor before holding the bottle out to her. ]

Did they really just take ya at face value?

[disreguarded]

Yeah, they sure fucking did. Which is crazy to me, but hey.

[ she takes the bottle, and also waterfalls herself some booze. thank god, she really just wants to be tipsy. ]

Because I don't know how I was gonna prove it otherwise. "No, it wasn't the Howling, because he was a crab this week!"

[haw]

[ fuckin mood. they gotta take advantage while phoenix isn't around... but then, he snickers. ]

Alpha crab is what I think they were callin' me, thank you very much.

[disreguarded]

[ dad's not home, quick, drink all the booze! she offers him the bottle back. ]

Asch called you the alpha crab, which is not the greatest of fucking endorsements. [ ... ] You know he apologized to me?

[haw]

[ he will take it back... and it's a good thing he doesn't drop it when she says that last bit. ]

Wait, like—sincerely?

[disreguarded]

Yeah, sincerely. He came up to me and apologized without me saying anything first. Nvver been so surprised in my fuckin' life.

[haw]

He wasn't cursed again, was he?

[disreguarded]

[ snort. ] No. He was himself.

I get the impression maybe someone coached him through it, but. It's fine. I'll take it.

[haw]

Eh... words are one thing. Actions are another. [ he waves his hand, almost dismissively ] We'll see if he can back it up without bein' a shit.

[disreguarded]

I'm giving him a chance.

[ her lips twitch. ] Look - when I was his age, all I wanted was someone to understand. So I'm trying.

We'll see.

[haw]

...Heh. Look at you, bein' the bigger person.

[disreguarded]

[ she laughs this time, and scrubs at her face. give her more booze. ]

It's hard to be, actually. But I figure the harder I have to work at something the more I'm supposed to be doing it?

[haw]

[ he's just gonna hand her the wholeass bottle and get another one out from under his bed. it's fine? it's fine. ]

I think we call that "growth." S'a good thing, ain't it?

[disreguarded]

[ she smiles! being told she's growing is... well, it's nice. it's really nice to hear. validation!! ]

Yeah. It definitely is. [ she's also just going to finish this whole-ass bottle. ]
