... maybe it’d be more responsible if we all kinda wished for a door home first, though.

[ well. there’s certainly nothing accusatory in her emotions, or anything to suggest she’s holding some of grudge or blame over hansa’s head. weirdly, there’s almost a familiarity there —- like she understands what he’s saying well enough to be immediately concerned or exasperated by the idea. ]

Still. [ she’s still holding her pen so she gets a free pass for tapping him on the side of the head with it. take that rule 9. ] Just because it’s normal for you doesn’t mean people stop worrying.

[robopriest]

Wouldn't that be nice.

[He blinks at her tapping his cheek, glancing aside - its hard to decipher his feelings here, a mixture of a mildly exasperated feeling of its fine, some disconcerted emotion at being called out, and a mite of fondness, at the same time.]

...I guess. [He says, after a moment, finally glancing back at her.] I appreciate it, though. Thanks for looking out for me.

[chanteuser]

[ there's a whole lot of exasperation on her end, with a similar mix of -- well just something that's entirely the equivalent of "???" in emotional form, and fondness in there as well.

exhausting. ]

You're welcome. But I should probably be the one thanking you. Again. [ her challenge next week is to not do something that gets her injured, and ends with her being carried away by hansa. ]

[robopriest]

I don't want you to thank me when I got you hurt in the process, Alex.

[He smiles, but there's definitely an undertone of guilt, there.]

I'm always happy to help, though.

[chanteuser]

It is literally not your fault a bird somehow managed to spit a sword into my leg, y'know.

[ hansa? no. no guilt. she's tapping him in the side with the pen again because no. ]

[robopriest]

But its my fault that you got shocked...

[He puffs out his cheeks a little - let him feel guilty!!!!]

[chanteuser]

[ no!! ]

If you hadn't helped I'd have spent about an hour trying to get out of that house, what with all the birds. And snakes. And the fighting they were doing. [ while bleeding. she'd probably have just laid there and bled on the floor. ]

[robopriest]

[He's frowning, but he sort of looks like a pouting schoolboy.]

I have to take responsibility for causing trouble for you. [>:I] But I'm glad I could get you out of there, at least.

[chanteuser]

[ >:U ]

That's the main thing. I'm not holding a grudge, so there's no point in sulking about it.

[ just. just call a guy out for sulking, alex. ]

[robopriest]

I'm not sulking.

[He said, sulkily.]

[chanteuser]

You are so sulking.

[robopriest]

Am not.

[chanteuser]

You are!

[robopriest]

[>://////]

Shut up.

[chanteuser]

[ she just laughs. but it's happy, rather than mocking. ]

... Shutting up.

[ ... ]

Still, how was fighting an alligator? That's two weeks running you've got to beat up the local fauna, right?

[robopriest]

...Heh.

[His prior sulking eases back into soft amusement, mood improving especially with the mention of the reptile.]

I think it was a crocodile, but not sure. Honestly, it was pretty good. I'd be fine if it was a recurring experience.

[chanteuser]

[ sometimes all it takes to make a guy happy is to talk about that time he wrestled a crocodile in a swamp. who knew? ]

Even with the snakes swimming around? [ and the leeches. wow, the leeches. ]

You've managed it two weeks running. Who knows what next week'll bring?

[robopriest]

Eh, the snakes were annoying, but its hardly like there's a lot of flesh and bone to bite.

[He's just...a simple man.]

Maybe I'll fight a shark, next. That would be exciting.

[chanteuser]

[ she feels exhausted suddenly. enjoy that. ]

Please be careful when fighting a shark.

[ it's not even like she thinks he wouldn't. he absolutely would. if next week is beach week, hansa is fighting a shark. ]

[robopriest]

Haha! Don't worry! I'm very waterproof!

[THAT'S NOT THE CONCERN HERE, HANSA]

[chanteuser]

[ hrrrrrrrrrrrrffffffffffffffffffffffffffeeeeeee-- ]

Are you sharp tooth proof as well??

[robopriest]

Unless I meet a shark that can chomp through thick metal, I sure am.

[chanteuser]

If you were going to meet one anywhere, it'd probably be in this place.

[robopriest]

It will be a worthy challenge then.

[hansa you stupid jock]

she whacks him with the pen ]
