[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.

[ichoosefight]

Do you think if you scoff hard enough you can shame me into explaining? I can't even convince you I'm a real person. Why should I bother trying to convince you I know what I'm doing?

[cactusy]

I'm trying to tell you there's a difference between knowing what you're doing and being invincible. You obviously think you're the latter, and that's what's gonna get you in hot water.

[ichoosefight]

[ Just. Just give her a moment. She's trying not to laugh. ]

You have to know how that sounds coming from you. I mean, seriously.

[cactusy]

When have I ever said I'm invincible? The death thing doesn't count.

[ichoosefight]

How does that not count? You literally said you couldn't die just yesterday.

[cactusy]

"I came back from being dead" isn't the same thing as "I can track someone down, by myself, in who-knows-how-many square miles 'cause I'm cute and plucky".

[ichoosefight]

You said, and I quote, "Whatever happens here doesn't matter. We die, we just reset!"

It's on record. You can't deny it.

[cactusy]

It doesn't matter in the real world. To us, while we're in here-- yeah, sure, okay, it was some crappy phrasing. You gonna harp on it forever?

[ichoosefight]

For as long as I can, absolutely.

Don't worry, I know I'm not invincible. I know it better than most.

But for the sake of your budding social skills, I have to tell you, telling someone that what they're doing is stupid or dangerous is probably the worst way to get them to stop. It only ever made me more determined, and people have been trying for four years.

[cactusy]

That's because you're nineteen. Try not running on pure spite once in a while.

[ichoosefight]

[ She sighs, but this time it's mostly coming down from the high of getting to rub Sameen's own words in her face. ]

You keep citing my age like it means so much. Not everyone matures at your designated rate, you know. I got past the spite stage years ago.
