In general, sure. I just think that right now he's not in the right place for it, is all.

Can I ask what all this was about to start with? Or is that, uh, overstepping.

[devoutish]

[Maybe Angel is the one he should have gone to in the first place, he thinks. She's a young girl and she's too soft on Rhys, but she is more level-headed.]

A man has stolen my pills and is trying to ransom them back to me. Nothing I need now, nothing dire, but it's nothing I'm gonna stand for.

[phaseshifter]

...oh.

Oh.

 

 

Uh, yeah, I-- in addition to everything else I said, there's extra reason for him to be weird about it. We've done that before. Stolen pills, that is. Oh geez.

[devoutish]

I've heard. Yes.

[phaseshifter]

Ergh. It felt justified at the time! Don't judge too harshly.

Though. Looking back, part of that was me acting out after being freed? The freaking hero squad had arrested Jack for abducting us, and he was being put on trial, and it was all so freaking dumb and I was really resentful over how everyone else got to decide how Jack was punished for something he did to us. Rhys needed the pills, sure, but it was also about how House was being a douchebag and about how I wanted to separate myself from-- you know. It was about being a bandit and not a damsel.

 

Er, sorry. Rambling. I just didn't really think of it that way until now.

[devoutish]

Angel, I'm not judging at all.

[phaseshifter]

Really?

Geez, now I feel even dumber for the rambling.

[devoutish]

Mm. I'm a bandit myself, remember.

[phaseshifter]

Yeah, but - there isn't universal bandit morality, is there? And people got really freaking mad at us for it.

[devoutish]

Sure, yeah, I'm not gonna pretend I never think anybody goes too far. But I am not shocked by thievery.

[phaseshifter]

Dude, saying something like that is practically daring me to say "challenge accepted" and start plotting the most shocking heist possible. To steal your beard, or something.

I'm not really planning any heists, beard-related or otherwise. Obviously.

[devoutish]

I'll need to keep any razors out of your hands, won't I.

[phaseshifter]

Don't forget the wax. And the scissors.

[devoutish]

Wax would be an awful choice. I'd be struggling and you'd get it all over your fingers.
