Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.
[ great, obviously! although she has fared better than a good number of people here. never saw the inside of a healing pod and was never in a situation where she had to. so, maybe, it actually is great in a relative sense.
[Well, he's not saying he isn't a twink with a constitution of ONE, but. He can have a bit of a bite every blue moon when the right buttons are pushed.]
[NOT THE RESPECT FOR THE STRINGY NERD RISING BECAUSE HE HAS A TINY BIT OF SASS!!]
Solving them with the sword, you mean? You sound a lot like Lucien. I think he would try to solve every problem with his head if he could--by smashing his horns into it.
Don't make your revival sound like a waste. You can think about how it should've been someone else, and every minute you do, you just waste what time you have back here. Which doesn't sound too grateful to me.
No. I just don't like listening to your whining. You have a second chance at life to do whatever you want. Thought you'd use that big brain of yours and figure it out on your own.

[ he looks solid enough, so she won't touch him to make sure.
since he's watching the jellies, she turns her eye to them too, like maybe she will divine what else to say.
the jellyfish are not that profound. ]
You're stuck carving out a living like the rest of us.
no subject
It looks that way, yes. Hopefully soon it will be all of us once more carving out a living.
[He looks at her reflection.]
How have you been?

[But he doesn't press her to say anything, though. He gets it. He puts up with quite a few people who act like this.]
no subject
[ a sigh. ]
This place is a shithole. I'll be glad once it's all over.

We agree on something then. Two things.

It's just one shitty life to the next. I prefer going back to solving problems my way instead of tolerating everything that happens.
[ it is INCREDIBLY frustrating she can't just eviscerate her problems. ]

[ you stringy nerd ]
no subject
I suppose I'm on the opposite side of the glass. I love to work out my problems. Annoying sometimes when they're difficult to solve, but still.
no subject
Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

[It's like she's missing an eye.]
I'm pretty sure "thinking" is about all I've got usually.
no subject
Fair enough. Can't imagine you beating someone to death.
no subject
He gives her a very strange, somewhat suddenly worried look and then glances quickly away.]
no subject
Even with all the surprises here, I still can't envision it.
[ you do you buddy she just thinks you're a nerd ]
no subject
Maybe it isn't beating you should be worried about.
no subject
Whatever you have to do to survive.
[ although she does have enough sense to remember she's talking to a previously dead man. ]
You still came back, so I don't wanna hear any moping about it. You get another chance.
no subject
I know. [He sounds apologetic which is funny.] I'm grateful, I am.
Maybe someone else would have been better. Sidon. Dion. Margaret. But... I guess there isn't anything I can do about that now.

no subject
But he doesn't really have anything to say against this!! Annoying!! A labored, resigned sigh.]
Alright, alright. Are you giving me... a pep talk?
no subject
No. I just don't like listening to your whining. You have a second chance at life to do whatever you want. Thought you'd use that big brain of yours and figure it out on your own.
no subject
Well, I think it's a little less... um, freeing as simply doing whatever I want. But... I understand. I'm not trying to squander it.
