[ snorts with genuine amusement ]

Good.

I have.

...

I guess... That probably aint bad to plan.

If we get uh, real mangled here.

[ his turn to metaphorical yellow question mark ]

Wait, really?

Okay so I know this sounds sorta-... I know how this sounds.

But if something gonna overwhelm what our healers can do, and... Well, we can't die. If it's they're gonna go fast or slow....

[So about Sun Sign and the Executioner... ]

No, I— I get it. I just said I'd been thinking about it. I just didn't think you'd agree that easily??

[ pauses. considers. eh, fuck it ]

I mean. I'm weird, right? Black sheep of Acidia. The guy that breaks stuff 'cause he can't heal or restore or do anything a real Acidia can do. When you said I had good in my talents... you were right, I'm great at doing damage. Maybe that's not what you meant? But it's true. I used to think that was useless, but now, when someone has to do the damage, sometimes?

Look, I'm not gonna drag what happened out of you if you don't want to talk about it. But while you're wallowing and trying to tell me I have good things going for me, consider: we have the same shitty talent.

[ reaches up again, this time to pat Brocade on the chest. ]

Heart's 73% water, remember? I could do it, right now, completely on purpose. No collars, no cupcakes. If you told me you hated what you were becoming enough to...

[ shrugs, dropping his hand ]

You get the point. Don't try to tell me you're so much worse, boss.

[So here's the thing, if Cinth is feeling his pulse, the water and cells surging through his veins... It doesn't speed up at the touch.

It calms.]

What are ya talkin' bout? If it weren't for ya, Trashcan and That One wouldn't have even made it to the vet that day.

Huh?

You know, the day we found em? Like, when it was Trashy, I figured I was just stressed out an I wanted that scent change but... Was pretty clear with That One.
