[falkeditupagain]

You're a little young to be dating me like that, so... [He's not a cradle robber, Vriska.]

And its okay. Its okay to be scared, or upset about something.

[dicey]

Well, I don't like you like that, either!

I'm not scared or upset. Do you know how raaaaaaaarely I get scared?

[falkeditupagain]

I have no idea, Vriska. [Because usually you don't tell him.]

[dicey]

... I'll try to tell you when I do get scared, okay? But I'm telling the truth when I say it really doesn't happen that often!

Here I was scared during that one event where we kept dreaming weird stuff and nobody knew what was real and what wasn't. The ghost event freaked me out a little, too.

[falkeditupagain]

Hey, its okay. Ghosts tend to freak everyone out. For good reason, usually.

[dicey]

I hate ghosts. I had a bad run-in with some on Alternia once!

... I remember being really, really scared when you were attacked by that dragon, too. Even though that probably doesn't count because the memories were fake.

[falkeditupagain]

Tell me about it. [He's had a few bad run-ins.]

But yeah, I remember that too... The feelings were genuine though. Even if the memory is fake.

[dicey]

No kidding.

[she remembers way too much about how he died and all the pain that his death price brought him, and she hates thinking about it]

... Look, now that I'm being totally honest, Iiiiiiii really did mean it when I said I don't like you in the, you know, making out way. Or anything sex-related. I completely swear that any jealousy didn't have and will never have anything to do with that.

[falkeditupagain]

[Make sure you take good care of your Hanna, Vriska, because that is probably going to be his death price again if he bites the dust.]

Hey, I get it. I didn't think you were...Its like, well. There is this saying, but you can't repeat it to Axel, alright? [And he's trusting you, with this.]

Anyways, it goes, bro's before hoes. And while you're not a bro, and Axel is not a hoe, the idea is what i'm trying to get at. I'm not going to replace you or stop hanging out with you. Promise.

[dicey]

[SHE PLANS TO, SOB]

I know you won't. It just kind of sucks that your species doesn't have platonic romance, but you know what? I can deal with it! I'm glad you're happy, and I'm glad that we're still close even if we can't be more than just friends.

You're a really special guy, Hanna. I know I haven't gotten you to believe that yet, but you'd better not forget it, or I'll be pissed!

... Is that saying seriously a human thing?

[falkeditupagain]

Hey, Vriska. we are more the friends. We're family. Don't you forget it, or i'll be pissed too. Okay? You're my sister, daughter, cousin, mother, rolled up into one.


[And yes, that is a saying.] Uh, yeah?

[dicey]

[... but what do those words mean]

You know how it's going to take you a while to believe that you're not a loser and people give a fuck about you?

[falkeditupagain]

Hey, I get the whole 'people give a fuck', I'm just slow on the 'not a loser' Uptake.

[dicey]

Yeah. Well, I think it might take me a while to believe this stuff. So we can help each other and be patient with each other, okay?

... Do you really not love Axel more than you love me?

[falkeditupagain]

[He never said that Vriska. He just said he's going to keep a balance. so you don't feel left out.]

Hey, that's not a fair question. While you may not believe me, there are different types of love, and people can definitely have platonic relationships. Like...heterosexual life partners or something. That's not sexual at all, but they stick together and have a strong bond. Think about it like that.

[dicey]

So you do love him more than me? If you don't not love him more than me, then--

-- Bluh, this is confusing!

[falkeditupagain]

Okay, okay, you can't measure something if they're different.

Its like comparing apples and oranges.

Or like your quadrant things, In the love quadrant, is it more important than the platonic one? Uh, pale one?

[dicey]

The pale quadrant's love too. It's just a different kind.

But that's what I asked! I wanted to know if you loved him more than you loved me, and you said that wasn't a fair question, so...

... I get it, okay? And I understand. Really! We love the people in our positive romance quadrants more than we love other people too, so even if I get jealous I promise I won't hold it against you. I'm a big girl; I can deal! And I know you do still love me even if you love him more, so it's not like I think you're going to totally drop me or something, hahahaha.

So we're okay?

[falkeditupagain]

[You're not listening to him Vriska, and at the moment he'll just sigh and try not to get frustrated.]

We are okay, but we're going to talk about this again. Later. Since you still don't get it.

[dicey]

Wait! Then explain it, okay? Because I want to get it.

[falkeditupagain]

You already answered the question yourself. Your quadrants, each one is equally important.

That's how I feel. Just because they're different doesn't mean they aren't a little similar.

[dicey]

Then why did you say it wasn't a fair question when I asked if you loved him more than me? I thought that was just your way of trying not to hurt my feelings by saying yes.

[falkeditupagain]

Well, you can compare love, but if they're different types, you can't put a number on them.

Or which one is more important, because they're not. That's all.

[dicey]

Then I guess that's a "no, I don't love him more than you"? Because you love us the same, in different ways. Or maybe I am totally misinterpreting, because I still don't get how that was an unfair question!

... I guess I sound like a clueless idiot, huh.

[falkeditupagain]

Yes. that's exactly it. I don't love you the same, but I don't love one of you more than the other. Alright?

[she at least gets a smile now.] Hey, I don't even know how to talk about this stuff and be, yanno. Concise, so don't feel bad at all.
