[ Feferi looks worried-- frowning, braiding and unbraiding a lock of her hair ad nauseum. She doesn't speak at first, distracted by something offscreen as soon as she turns the feed on. She brings her attention back to the tablet after a few seconds. ]

I have been thinking a lot lately, and I think I understand now what other people have been saying the whole time.

We should leave here. I mean it, just leave the Hold! They cannot do anything about it if we do. I know they can't send us back, and they're probably not going to kill us because they need us, and even if they tried, I bet we could take them on! We fight and win against the UE, why couldn't we fight and win against the Initiative? We have magicians, scientists, doctors... everything! We could make it on our own if we wanted to!

[ She gets herself all worked up the more, the finally sighs and deflates a little, her shoulders sagging. ]

I don't want to be here anymore, I am tired of being the scapegoat for something we didn't do.

[ And, quieter: ] I wish my lusus was here...

[[ ooc: Feferi is currently falling victim to the runeblade shadow demon thingies from this plot here. ]]

[He flops down next to her and curls up beside her.]

I live here for the sake of being with you.

[fintastic]

[ Oh good. Now she can drape an arm around him. ]

I never really thought about that...

[biwinning]

Well, now you know. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here. And I'd probably be a lot worse off without you being here. I need you.

[And he puts one around her, still smiling a little to be more reassuring, and traces a line over her jawbone, and heading near her fin.]

[fintastic]

I don't know what I would do without you here, either.

[ He's lying. ]

...you are not just saying that to try and make me feel better, right?

[biwinning]

FF, I'm tho shit at lying, it'th not even funny.

[fintastic]

[biwinning]
