But it already happened, Hanna. You trusting me with the big stuff isn't going to change me in any way that fighting for my life since day one and killing thousands of other troll kids didn't already. It's like you think I'm in this bubble of innocence, but I'm not. You're a lot more innocent than I am, Hanna.

[falkeditupagain]

Vriska, I know. I get it, its just hard. I told you.

[dicey]

I just don't know if you want to keep trying for real or not.

[Vriska hesitates; she knows she's kind of repeating herself by saying that, and he's already said that he doesn't want to stop trying-- maybe that has to be enough for her for now, considering everything else that's going on]

Wait. Okay.

... Okay.

[she takes a deep breath, and takes her hand off the doorknob]

We're going to have to talk about this more-- a lot more-- later. This isn't fixed. You still did what you did, and like you said, you also still have a habit of telling Lea stuff and leaving me out. And like I said, I can't be your moirail if there's fake feelings behind it and you only tell me things out of duty or guilt, not because you really want to. But right now let's just focus on this Pitch shit. You feel awful and you don't know what to do, so let's figure that out. And you know he's going to come back pissed, so let's come up with a plan for that, too. There's a time limit on this one; we probably only have a week.

Do you want Lea to be here, too? Maybe he should be. It's hard for you to talk about things twice and it's not right for you to keep choosing him over me, okay, but it's not like choosing me over him would be any better for you. ... I don't think, anyway.

[she doesn't know all that much about what human relationships are supposed to be like, but she's gotten the sense they have a moirallegiance aspect to them, which means Lea probably shouldn't be left out]

Talk to us both at the same time; that way you only have to say it once.

[falkeditupagain]

Okay. Okay...

[This is a little better. This is something that needs to be focused on, even if their relationship status is important to. But that isn't something that ignoring for the moment could get them killed. He lifts his head, looking around and sighs, nodding before pushing himself up slowly.]

We need to figure out a game plan, make this house safe...I think I can get enough barriers up and keep them up to keep him out, but...I dunno. I don't want anything i've done to blow up in either of your faces, because it's happened before and it's not ever my intention...

If anything really truly happens, i'm the one who fucked up and I should pay for it.

[dicey]

You know neither one of us is going to agree to that.

[she pulls out her PCD and types in Axel's name, though she doesn't send anything yet]

What do you think? You want to get him over here now?

[falkeditupagain]

I honestly don't want to think about it today...as stupid as that as. I know we have to...but, man.

I just want to run away from it for a day. Let it be. [And he'll be putting his head in his hands and sighing. He's still sore from the fight, still bruised up and beaten and he doesn't want to think about it any more than he has to when it's still so fresh on him.]

[dicey]

Okay.

[Pitch wouldn't come back for at least a week, so getting behind by one day wouldn't hurt things, right? she turns off her PCD and slides it back into her pocket]

[slowly, Vriska leaves the door and walks over to Hanna, reaching out and putting a hand on his shoulder]

[falkeditupagain]

[When she does, he looks up, looking a lot more tired than he had minutes before.] How do people do this...?

I hate the guy, and I still feel fucking horrible.

[dicey]

Come here.

[she holds out an arm to wrap around him]
