[BIG. FRUSTRATED SIGH, FROM THE DIRT.]

What does it look like I'm doing, Beau?

I stayed outside last night.

[disreguarded]

And what, lost your sense of balance? You didn't have that to begin with.

[ aaaaaaaaaaaa ]

[menially]

[...

Just


Turns to look up at her, his expression completely deadpan.]

Come on, Beau, if you're going to insult me, you can come up with something better than that.

[disreguarded]

[ she's giving him the most hopeless look aaaaaaAAAAAAAAA ]

Oh, please, like it'd be hard to come up with something. You're a walking bag of useless, laughable anxiety - what kind of person is afraid of women -- I'm sorry, fuck --

[ she slaps a hand over her mouth. ]

[menially]

[Thankfully, his expression doesn't budge much, outside a sheepish laugh at the apology just crammed in there.]

I've heard worse.

[He'll roll over onto his back, slowly pushing himself up to a sitting position.]

You must have been outside the cabins too, then, huh. Is this just affecting what you're saying?

[disreguarded]

[ she just. sits down on the ground and keeps her hand over her mouth. and nods. ]

[menially]

[aw, god, she's trying her hardest. Guy lets the silence sit for a moment, his smile gentle.]

If all you've got on me is low blows because of my phobia, then you're not going to scare me off. I've put up with that every day since I was a kid.

So don't worry about this curse. For right now, I know you don't mean it.

[disreguarded]

I don't think it's a curse, since two other people have it too, but I didn't really expect some stupid servant to know that. [ she just looks exasperated now. ]

[menially]

You know what I meant.

[He'll fold his arms, just looking amused ]

This stupid servant helped raise a pretty stupid teenager, Beau. I'm pretty sure you can't touch me here.

[disreguarded]

I'm not fucking doing it on purpose, you stupid fuck! [ SHE JUST LAYS ON THE GROUND ] You are so fucking insufferable, no wonder Asch can't stand you.

[menially]

[Oof.

That one gets a reaction, a tightening of his expression that could be irritation. But it's here and gone.]

Asch can get over it. He's more than welcome to ask me to leave if that's what he really wants from me. I've told him as much.

But I'm not leaving him behind to rot just because all his emotional baggage says that that's his only option left.

[disreguarded]

[ she's just quiet, sprawled out in the dirt with a frustrated look. she doesn't want to argue over stuff she doesn't mean.

mostly because she agrees. it doesn't really matter what asch wants when it comes to that. ]

[menially]

[we're just vibing in the dirt today, it's fine

He goes to open his mouth to say something, leaning forward in the process, but that's enough to make the world roll under him and he's back on the ground.

Oogh. Pressing a hand to his head this time, oh boy.]

You really do remind me of him a lot.

[disreguarded]

Of who.

[ ... she says, immediately biting her tongue after. she looks like she's struggling not to add more to that. ]

[menially]

Asch.

[A chuckle, though it's tired.]

I promise, I don't mean that as an insult.
