I was the staff of mine. Yes. [... as for the rest:] Taako was in danger. I wanted to save him. Something said it'd give me the ability to. So I said yes.
[ sounds about right. they turn to meet her gaze. ]
...Then... based on what you told me, I'd say - [ and with some emphasis, here ] fuck making the decision to kill someone. Fuck that.
I don't think it reflects on you that you wanted to save the person you love. I don't think it reflects on you that you lost it when you lost them, either, especially since it was in a situation designed to make you lose it. If you got coerced into doing this like that both times, and before, you made the choice and hated it, then this time, leave it out of your hands, and just do as much good as you can in the meantime.
You've already done a lot of good, here. Fate's a fickle bitch, but she's at least impassive. Flip the whole thing the fucking middle finger and walk your own path. That's part of what your job's all about. You get to tell death "not today".
[her expression shifts into something a little more warm, as they talk.]
Oh, well. I've done that already. [she told death "not today" the second she decided to eject her soul from her body. her hand falls from the back of her neck, and - well. she's incapable of saying it, and she's still embarrassed from earlier, but it's clear they've said something that makes her feel better. whatever it is.]
Taako is going to hang me upside down by my ankles. [she jokes, rubbing at her face.
Good. Me too. She listens, sometimes, or so I've heard.
[ if lup is really paying attention, she can see that some of the tension in their shoulders loosens, too, with the joke, and they sit back, laughing a little themselves. ]
That's probably true. Just elbow him in the balls on your way up and win your victory.
