For a surprising change of pace, who is actually in favor of leaving the locals behind? Five hundred thousand odd lives, good as gone. Three hundred fifty of us in safety.

[because everyone who isn't is honestly an idiot.]

No lynching, please, ladies and gentlemen, let's have a civil discussion.

video, the better to yell at you with

[she was just going to use the audio option, but no. She needs to glare, even if her face is a disaster and she'll get in trouble for not healing it yet]

Jack.

[Yeah, he cannot...make himself reply to the jerkface who believes it is fine to allow his people to die, so he concentrates on what he can do.]

Madam, please allow me to assist you with your injuries.

[hyanaimne]

[oh good, someone else to glare at]

I am fine, thank you.

[senseandcecilbility]

...

[He is sitting at the edge of his bed with a straight back, hands joined in his lap.]

I fear I may not have another chance to offer my services.

[I am staying behind.]

[hyanaimne]

Then offer them to someone who needs them. I am fully capable of healing myself.

[senseandcecilbility]

[Oh.

He gives her one small nod.]

My apologies. I know it has been a busy day.

[hyanaimne]

[Sigh. Tempest rubs at her face, and tries to at least look a little apologetic]

No, I am being rude. Thank you for the offer, but I will be able to do it myself. I've just been more focused on others who need it.

[senseandcecilbility]

[He gives her a questioning look, because right now she seems more focused at yelling at jerks, not that he disapproves.]

[hyanaimne]

. . . what?

[senseandcecilbility]

Is the gentleman a friend of yours?

[hyanaimne]

He is, yes.

[senseandcecilbility]

I see.

[Why you are taking your time to scold him. That is what friends do.]

Please, take care.

[He is about to disconnect.]

[hyanaimne]

—why do you ask?

[senseandcecilbility]

Most would not have cared.

[hyanaimne]

That is the only reason I said anything at all.

[senseandcecilbility]

[He gives her a thin smile.]

I am grateful.

[hyanaimne]

You are grateful I am going to yell at him?

[senseandcecilbility]

Yes, this place...is an alternate version of my home.

[hyanaimne]

. . . perhaps you should yell at him as well, then.

[senseandcecilbility]

It would be rather pointless. Besides, I must save strength for later.

[hyanaimne]

So? My yelling is pointless, too. But I certainly feel better for it. Not much, of course, but.

[senseandcecilbility]

[He shakes his head.]

Your yelling is what good friends do.

[And he doubts any amount of yelling will make him feel better about this. He has...just arrived.]

[hyanaimne]

That makes no sense.

[considering Tempest has never had a good friend. She's done plenty of yelling, though]

video pls be gentle

[psychopath]

That sounds like I'm in trouble, Tempest...

video i'm never gentle sry bb

[hyanaimne]

Must you put it in such an awful way?
