week 3; monday ( stephanie )

[axilium]

[there's a number of things he wants to discuss with steph, but he'll start off with the obvious.]

How'd things go with your boyfriend?

Comments

[vigilantics]

So, you know, when something's bothering you, you should tell me.

[ she hasn't let that go from when they were drinking together. ]

[axilium]

Do you think I'm hiding something?

[vigilantics]

Nothing to do with the job. I know you'd tell me.

[ that comes easy enough. ]

But no one is always so chill all the time. I'd know.

[axilium]

[honestly, the fact that she trusts him so easily... well, he doesn't know how to handle that. nobody trusts him like that.]

Maybe I'm a special snowflake.

[vigilantics]

You're my special snowflake.

[ it's said in a song-songy tone, but then she drops it. ]

I think you're a very private person, but I also think that nothing good from bottling absolutely everything up.

[axilium]

[why do you think he drinks so much.]

A hero and a therapist? What can't you do?

[vigilantics]

Calculus.

[ ... ]

You're doing it again though.

[axilium]

Hey, I'll do the job just fine. Don't worry about it.

[vigilantics]

I know you'll do that just fine, Belph. I'm not worried about that.

[ he has clearly shown himself capable for this. ]

I'm worried about you, you nerd.

[axilium]

Thanks! There's nothing to worry about, though?

[vigilantics]

There's always something to worry about. It just depends on whether you let others worry with you or not.

[axilium]

You're going to burn out if you keep expending your emotional energy on everyone like that.

[vigilantics]

I did warn you I'm annoying.

But my special therapist rates goes to people I really like.

[axilium]

Careful, Steph. I might actually fall for you at this rate.

[vigilantics]

[ she sighs. alright. ]

I'm surprised you haven't already.

[axilium]

I have very selective standards.

[said standards are apparently "can kick my ass".]

[vigilantics]

[ fuck you steph fits those standards ]

I don't know whether to be offended or not.

[axilium]

[yeah and that's why he said he almost fell for her!!!]

It's okay, you still have Hikage.

[vigilantics]

You keep saying that and I'm not entirely sure he even considers us friends.

[axilium]

... He's a pretty confusing guy.

[vigilantics]

That's definitely an understatement... but he won't be getting jealous of anyone.

[axilium]

That's too bad. It would've been pretty entertaining.

[vigilantics]

Be nice to him! He's suffering from... some weird ailment, I guess.

[ she has no idea what the fuck the love potion deal is but she assumes the castle is behind it because. what the fuck. ]

[axilium]

Yeah, I think he's lovesick?

[vigilantics]

He's like a blushing maiden from an 18th century romance novel...
