week 2, wednesday

[vipmix]

[joshua and fie on a beach, t-a-l-k-i-n-g!

which is to say, since Fie likes to be on the beach and she made the mistake of talking to Joshua once or twice, this is now a pattern. sorry fie i don't make the rules]

Taking a break from lessons with Zuko?

Comments

[sylfied]

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. ]

[vipmix]

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

[ofc he calls her out]

[sylfied]

... [ JOSH... ]

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

[vipmix]

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

[sylfied]

Yep. I'm the victim here.

[vipmix]

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.

[sylfied]

I know. I still talk to you, don't I?

[ when the logical person would have left. ]

[vipmix]

[l m a o]

Ouch. Still haven't reached ankle-level, have I?

[sylfied]

Maybe. But I don't think that I've gotten any higher, either.

[vipmix]

Maybe. [who knows!!!] We're not very good at the "theme", it looks like.

[sylfied]

I dont hate you.

[ that counts??? ]

[vipmix]

A bond of mutual non-hate, is it? How impressive.

[sylfied]

I think it'd be weirder to be that fond of you in two weeks. This seems fine.

[vipmix]

Other people seem to be managing it just fine, though.

[not with Joshua but yknow he's joking anyway]

[sylfied]

Some people would trust you the minute you said "hi".

[ not with Joshua, though. ]

[vipmix]

I think they call those "extroverts". Quite terrifying, aren't they?

[josh, plz]

[sylfied]

Yeah, pretty much. I can only handle a few at a time.

[vipmix]

Oh? How are you even handling the island? It's got quite the handful.

[sylfied]

I go find quiet places until someone else finds me.

[ case in point: Joshua. ]

[vipmix]

Hmmm. I'd almost feel guilty, but I'm not an extrovert.

[<3]

[sylfied]

I don't think you feel guilt.

[ Just saying. Here he is, interrupting a bruised young lady who just wants to rest--!!! ]

But it's true that you're not loud and trying to drag me places.

[vipmix]

Oh, I'm sure I must have felt it... Once upon a time.

[josh, plz don't snark about you not having human emotions.]

Don't worry. I'd never drag you places. That's a lot more effort than ankle-level is worth.

[sylfied]

Aha. So I am still at ankle-level.

[ what a great friendship(???????) ]

[vipmix]

Woops.

[dramatically:]

It's the call-out during trial. It really slowed down our relationship progress.

[sylfied]

No one wants to be flirted with during a murder trial.

[ duh. ]
