[ WHEEZES LIKE SHE'S DYING ]

[sancrimony]

[ dry, ]

But I suppose I'm still not there, yet.

[stakesthesame]

[ give her a second this really fucking hurts, so in between laughs here's hisses and "ow-- ow," but she manages to calm down enough after a moment ]

This is a good first step for big boy words-ing, I guess. Good job?

[sancrimony]

If you could please forget that this happened, I'd appreciate it.

[ . . . ]

Anubis-san can heal you, if you'd like him to. He'd never do anything to hurt anyone.

[stakesthesame]

Absolutely not, I remember everything forever. And nah. Really don't want you guys scarring me up.

[ a pause ]

What were you looking for, anyway? When you used your powers. You didn't open me up, so.

[sancrimony]

I've healed you before . . .

[ with a pause ]

Hmm. I suppose saying that it's a secret is a bit detrimental to this whole exercise.

[stakesthesame]

You were lookin' for that huge slice in my side from the fight with Sanguine, right?

[sancrimony]

Mm, that as well, yes.

[stakesthesame]

... you've only healed me the once, I'm pretty sure.

[sancrimony]

Ah.

Wait.

Ah, no.

[ . . . ]

I was looking for every major scar that you still had.

[stakesthesame]

Oh.

Well... haven't had many fatal ones. 'Cept that. The others aren't worth paying off.

[sancrimony]

Mm, that's good.

I was looking just to see. It was a test, I suppose you could say, and you passed it.

[stakesthesame]

What, I passed the idiot exam? Great. Wish the rest of Zrael would too.

[sancrimony]

Unfortunately, that seems to be the natural requirement of being a member of ☆ZRAEL. But, that is why I feel at ease with you.

[stakesthesame]

Yeah that's uh... true...

... at ease??

[sancrimony]

Mm.

I can trust you.

[stakesthesame]

...

What?

[sancrimony]

I can trust you?

[ c,,,,onfused ]

[stakesthesame]

[ ALSO, CONFUSED ]

Whhhhy would you trust someone that wanted to kill you.

[sancrimony]

Eh?

Is that strange? I trust Avenger, though. . .

[stakesthesame]

That's a totally different situation!

[sancrimony]

Hm.

Is there a reason why I shouldn't trust you? My life being disregarded here - I don't particularly care when it comes to that.

[stakesthesame]

-- that's usually THE best reason not to trust someone!

[sancrimony]

Mm - well, it doesn't matter to me, so.

[stakesthesame]

Okay but like, even if you don't care about yourself you should PROBABLY take into consideration the people that do, right?
