Hey, this is Vriska! I'm ignoring my PCD right now. Leave me a message and if I like you enough, I'll get back to you!

[dicey]

No one ever trained me. I just do it sometimes.

[combatking]

Cool, self taught! [And then funfacts because he feels a lottle on edge.] There's a legend in our world about Sorceresses bringin' their art to life. I wouldn't doubt it, our Matron brought statues to life.

[dicey]

I can't do that.

[combatking]

Me neither, but it's neat.

[Awkwardly scratching at him neck..]

What's up?

[dicey]

[she just raises an eyebrow at Zell]

[combatking]

Yeaaaa I know. Well..

[dicey]

Well what?

[combatking]

Just well as a filler word, I guess. [This is one of those moments where I'm supposed to take the hint and we sit in silence, right?]

[dicey]

I don't even give a fuck about this event. We've had worse.

[combatking]

There may've been worse but this is what's goin' on right now.

[dicey]

I still don't care that much.

[combatking]

Well it's a stupid event. But people are gonna still act on it.

[dicey]

Of course it's stupid. I'm just not going to freak out about it.

[combatking]

Y'know sometimes I wish I had your detachment. I keep gettin' super worried about my human friends.

[dicey]

[she stands up]

Fuck you, Zell. I'm not detached or not worried.

[combatking]

Ugh, I didn't mean it like THAT. I mean being able to quell it.

[dicey]

That's not what I'm doing either!

[combatking]

[Blankly staring at her a moment..] Sorry.. you seemed so together on it.

[dicey]

You are such a clueless idiot sometimes, Zell.

[and she stomps out of the room]

[combatking]

[That stings. Knowing she's still sore about Pitch's disappearance makes him momentarily curious if she's bent on see-sawing between keeping it pent up and taking it out on him. Unsure whether to stay or go, he sits a moment, refecting. It's like either way I'm wrong with her. Suddenly being inside is making it hard to breathe, like a wave of claustrophobia.

Outside. I gotta get outside. Making his way out, he plops down on the porch.]

[dicey]

[a few hours later, he gets a text]

I know you don't do it on purpose, but it's true. You don't think about what you say.

Re: [Text]

[combatking]

I know I do not. We talked about it. I am working on it.

I do not understand what happened earlier though.

[dicey]

Seriously? You don't get why calling me detached and saying I'm not worried pissed me off???

Re: [Text]

[combatking]

I never said you were not worried! If you were not, you would not be at the House or going back and forth to Ta Prohm!! The detached comment was not meant as 'emotionally dead', it was meant as 'you seem to be able to keep yourself relatively calm in the face of the event while i am getting so consumed by it through having little to no interaction with civilians that I am easily startled and on high alert'.

You took it the wrong way.

[dicey]

You said it the wrong way.
