[outsidebones]

I agree. I prefer to make my own choices. And while I can't choose whether to do this, precisely, I can choose whether I wish to involve them in it.

[guestservices]

[ there's a smile in their voice that is unmistakable. ]

Well said, Harrow.

[outsidebones]

Some would think I was being cruel and unfathomably stubborn...

[guestservices]

Some would. Some would think that choice to do so is up to you, no matter what the consequences are.

[ they hum. ] If they figure it out - aside from the fact that they'll likely cover for you anyway even if its in the middle of the trial - you'll have to face them afterwards. Are you ready for that?

[outsidebones]

No. I may be burning bridges I would rather not burn. But...I feel I will hurt them either way.

[guestservices]

I don't think your bridge'll burn as bad as you think it will. I think they'll be angry, sure.

[ they tilt their head back and forth for a moment. ]

...but, ultimately, I think they'll understand. Sort of a "that's what I thought you'd do, you dumb bone girl" situation. [ this is a fairly decent lup impression, actually. ]

More than anything, I think they just want you alive. So, you know what that means, right?

[outsidebones]

It means Mollymauk will try to dramatically die for me if I get caught.

[a deep sigh.]

I've been dramatically died for before and I don't recommend it. No thank you.

[guestservices]

[ help this makes them laugh ]

He almost certainly will, yes.

[ they reach up under their veil to adjust something, or rub between their eyebrows. ]

I was going to say it means don't get caught, but that'd be a byproduct of that anyway.

[outsidebones]

Yes. Quite. I will try to avoid it.

[guestservices]

Maybe avoiding Molly's theatrics will be a better motivator than anything else, actually.

[ they laugh again, though. ]

I wish you luck, Harrow. I'm not really supposed to have favorites, but I'll be rooting for you.

[outsidebones]

[this actually does seem to surprise her.]

You say that now, until I happen to kill one of your favorites.

[guestservices]

[ harrow is so cute... ]

Eh. I doubt you will.

[outsidebones]

[person...liking...her? strange, difficult to comprehend.]

I would not be this confident if I were you.

[guestservices]

You've got pretty good taste in people.

[ they laugh, though. ] Don't look so surprised!

[outsidebones]

[she just makes a face. like a baby.]

[guestservices]

[


they immediately reach out and pinch her cheek like they physically cannot step themselves from doing this ]

[outsidebones]

[god!! she's so indignant but she's too mad to resist.]

[guestservices]

[ this only makes them more powerful. it's more of an annoying big brother pinch than anything. ]

Look at this face you're making. Why're you making this face?
