[i was about to say excuse, he only has three, but i forgot about the knife he stole, so yeah. four.
he freezes up, but hey, he's at least not throwing her off, so that's probably a good sign? ... he doesn't even know where to begin computing the second request, though.]
[She doesn't exactly pull away just yet in that case, but she's ready to move just in case. Has anyone ever hugged this child? Jeez.]
I'll be honest with you since that's the agreement we made. [Was it?] It won't be easy, and sometimes you might slip up and get mad at yourself all over again, but it isn't impossible. I promise. If you want to keep talking strategies during our meetings, fine. But I'm here to help you with whatever you need. So please remember that?
[She squeezes his shoulders and finally stands up to her full height even if she doesn't, like, go back to her side of the table. It's a lot to think about.]
[There's a smile.] Okay. [It gives her time to finish her cookie, too.] We don't have to talk about anything, but it's kind of nice being able to see you like this. Sorry if that's a little weird.
I'm not used to it, but at least it's not as bad as it could be. Since we only have to wear them when we're seeing you guys I can take it off in my room or visiting the others and stuff.
Not only that but just so that people weren't automatically biased toward one god over the others. You think people wouldn't have feelings if they realized a bunch of us are teenagers?
At least it's been based on getting to know us? [Ugh.] Either way, I think the idea was that without seeing us or hearing about our histories, you could make a more informed decision based on what we could offer and say to you at the time. Do you think that's true?
Technically, everyone can just fulfill that rule by talking to Fortune... but I'm obviously not going to complain if it gets people talking to you, at least.
So far it's been the regulars which is still okay. Loyalty is nice...but there's still time. I'm trying to be as fair as possible until we have to strike for the win.
