[ she didn't ask for this!!!

But she answers him anyway, because this is her life. ]

I don't need to be around for most of it.

That's good. He strikes me as the exhausting type.

He is. I was actually thinking about a nap.

On a Thursday? Is that safe?

[also, does not even offer to let her nap because <3 no]

[ why is he like this ]

Maybe there's some risk, but if someone wanted to kill me, it'd probably happen whether I was asleep or not.

Fair enough. [it's exactly the argument he used on zuzu he can't disagree] You don't seem too worried about the possibility, as usual.

Neither do you. Worrying would just be a pain, though.

If I die here, the problem's really not my own. [looks at the sky] Not to mention, there's better things to be doing here than be in a constant state of worry. Though we've talked about that before.

Mm. According to the chiefs, we're supposed to be bonding. I still don't get why, though.

[ this isn't exactly the ideal place to build trust. ]

It's more than odd to ask for teamwork and trust in the same breath as asking us to murder one another, that's for certain. I'm not sure what they want out of this.

[and it is killing him tbh]

I don't know, either. If we're just going to kill each other, it's better to not even try to care. Logically.

[ Fie,still nursing bruised ribs, because of caring. ]

Hee hee... Is logic why you spent all week helping Zuko train people?

[ofc he calls her out]

... [ JOSH... ]

Sometimes it's better to just go along with something when it'd be more effort to keep saying no.

So he outstubborned you? That's all that was?

Yep. I'm the victim here.

Of course. Who'd ever think otherwise? [he says, thinking otherwise] Though, you know... It's not actually possible for people to be completely and purely logical at all times. Jaeger or not.
