[cactusy]

-- Yeah. Okay.

[ichoosefight]

Thank you.

[ ... ]

I'm sorry you got fired. If it sucked for you as much as it did for me.

[cactusy]

I was pissed off at the time. It's, uh-- been a while, though. Had a lot of different jobs since. Including taking orders and not asking questions.

Can't really picture you even trying to do that.

[ichoosefight]

It mattered a lot to me. More than it should have.

But yeah, I'm not really about that kind of one-sided partnership anymore.

[cactusy]

[Honestly, being kicked out of her residency had mattered a lot to Shaw too, in its own way: even now, there's a part of her that still internalizes the idea that she isn't truly fit to save people. But it's not an easy thing to voice, and so she doesn't try.]

So what now? Freelance?

[ichoosefight]

Mmm, not exactly.

[ How does she explain this without actually explaining anything? ]

I came back and got a higher position.

[ Yeah, that works. ]

[cactusy]

Did you... stage a hostile takeover?

[ichoosefight]

Uh... no? Is that what you did?

[cactusy]

Not my thing. Seemed like it might kinda be your thing, though.

[ichoosefight]

Wow, I guess I really came on too strong, huh. Not sure if I'm more proud or embarassed by that.

[cactusy]

I mean, you also came on kinda stupid.

[ichoosefight]

Well, thinking I was gonna get myself killed was the only thing that seemed to get through to you.

[cactusy]

Not sure I'd call any of this "getting through to me". If anything, I got through to you and got you to calm the hell down.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, funny story, I was never going on a suicide mission. You were definitely hanging up on me, though, and like I said, I'm not okay with that when you have a gun and I don't know how you're going to use it.

[cactusy]

You weren't, huh.

[ichoosefight]

I don't have to go without food or sleep to track you down. By the time I found you I would've been too weak to sneak up on you anyway.

[cactusy]

Assuming you found me at all, which wouldn't've been a guarantee.

[ichoosefight]

It would've taken a while. Which is one reason I was so annoyed.

[cactusy]

Why be annoyed about something you were only bluffing about doing?

[ichoosefight]

Oh I was gonna do that part. I just wasn't going to kill myself doing it.

[cactusy]

Oh, god.

[ichoosefight]

Let me guess: I'm a reckless idiot, and there's no way I know how to track a person in the forest without getting myself killed by either nature or our mysterious archers.

[cactusy]

You're a reckless idiot, and even if you're a good tracker, this place is big.

[ichoosefight]

I'm a reckless idiot, but I don't have to show you all my cards.

[cactusy]

You could be the best tracker in the world, and there's still no card you could have that would make that a doable plan.
