Alright, that's fine. Just, tell me what's up, Vriska?

Lea's just being weird at me because of all this stuff, and since he's your boyfriend I guess it should probably be... I don't know, fixed? It would be awkward for you if we didn't like each other, right?

Well from what I've heard you both have been touchy with each other. And I've heard a lot about it. Not just from Lea. [He's going to sigh really heavily and nod.]

It's already awkward, Vriska.

It doesn't have to be.

I know it doesn't. So we're going to fix it. Alrighty?

[He tries to sound optimistic, but her behavior around housemates lately has been less than stellar.] You want to meet in our room and we can figure it out?

Okay. I'll be there in like eight seconds.

I'll be waiting.

[enter room]

[flop on Hanna]

Hey.

[He runs his fingers through her hair a little before sighing and looking down at her.] Okay, So. I know you've been starting fights with everyone in the house. And being touchy, and I know they've been less than understanding about your friendship with Pitch, which has everyone on edge, and they've been starting some fights too.

So. Tell me what happened, and why you've been getting upset, and we can work from there, Alright?

-- Hey, hell no. That's not true. I haven't started fights with anyone! I fought Roxas that one time, and I only started the physical stuff. And everything with Lea has been started by him!

Vriska, people have been asking me if you're okay. Because they're worried and you're getting touchy. Okay?

I'm trying really hard not to be biased here, alright, and I'm sure you have a reason, and he has a reason. And right now, I want to hear why you got upset. What did he say that upset you, okay?

It's really hard, being stuck in the middle, you know? And I'm trying to be fair to both of you, got it? I don't want to start choosing sides, so work with me a little bit. Please?

Getting touchy when they're being dicks isn't the same thing as starting fights. And I'm not trying to make you pick sides.

Lea hasn't said anything that upset me; not really. He's just pissed at me.

[He's going to sigh again, real hard and lay back, closing his eyes. They don't have to be open for this do they? The light in here is going to give him a headache to go with this lovely conversation.]

Upset, pissed off. It's the same thing. Just tell me what he said, please?

I told you, it's not one thing in particular. It's just his attitude.

Okay then, what about his attitude then?

You know he likes to be sarcastic. And he gets defensive when he's upset, or mad. So. Tell me more about it. You wanted to talk about this, and fix it. So tell me what he does, what happens when you talk to him, that pisses you off. And maybe I can help you figure out why he acts that way.

I know why he acts that way! That's not the problem. And it's not the problem that I get pissed, either; I don't even do that much now. I just don't think he likes me anymore.

Either that or there is something else that's bothering him that isn't just you. [Hanna pauses a moment, continuing to run his fingers through her hair.]

You know...It really bothers him, that I don't want him to fight Pitch if he comes after me. And maybe, because of that, it bothers him that you're hanging out with Pitch. [Because Hanna still isn't sure that Pitch isn't using her to get to him.]

[she snuggles closer]

It bothers him that I'm hanging out with Pitch in general. And it bothers me that you don't want to fight back too, but I'm not taking it out on anyone else.

People react to things differently. Sometimes they can't help it, which doesn't mean that it's right, but, it's just something that happens.

[He pauses a moment.] You know, when you died in the mall? I got really angry at Roxas and Lea. I started screaming at them. And I almost punched Lea because I was upset about it, and taking it out on him and Roxas. It happens, Vriska.

But sometimes you just have to wait it out. I can talk to Lea for you though, if you'd like.

I know that, but...

[she looks up at him, and blinks]

... You did?

[she knows by now that Hanna isn't perfect, but still, she's surprised]

I did. Because while they were trying to be sympathetic, and help me, they said something that I took in the wrong way. And I got angry about it because I was still upset.

And you know how I am when I'm angry. I really let them have it. [He doesn't make any excuses about it either. When he's angry, he screams real good.]

... I know it's not totally easy for you that I'm close to Pitch. Especially after that. And I want to be friends with Lea again, but even more I want to make sure you're okay with all of this.

See, I'm just happy that you care enough about it to talk to me. And that you're trying to make me happy. And I think if you're worried that you might lose Lea as a friend, then you're not going to. Because that means that you really do want to be friends with him, and that's half the battle.

I'm going to talk to him about it though, okay? See if there is something on the side going on there that I can help with before you guys talk again, sounds good?

I think he thinks I don't care, and that's why I hang around Pitch. Roxas definitely thinks that.

But I do. I love you so, so much.

I think he's upset about it because he knows it worries me. And that's what I think. But we won't know until he comes out and says it, which might be a while. [He has nothing to say about Roxas though. He knows Roxas has...issues with people he doesn't like, for good reason.]

I know you do, and you don't have to justify that to anyone, because I know. So if someone tries to use that against you just tell them that. And don't let it bother you. Because you know it's not true.
