[she says, fiercely. she looks at him stubbornly with tears dripping down her face.]
I hate this. I hate it here. [but that's not really true, is it. because she doesn't. this stupid penthouse and this stupid city has been more of a home than the kingdom ever has.] I couldn't make him see how good he was to Nico, or you, or Datz, it's not fucking fair.
[ he feels weird being put into the list even when it's true. anyway he finally lets go of the railing ...... because he is climbing back on the other side of it and dragging her back over so he can sort of hug her loosely ]
... Yeah. I didn't ... [ he is just going to make them both sit down on the roof now. just dragging nimona along for the ride ] I don't remember what the last thing I said to him was. I don't... remember if I saw him.
[ace is like the only person i think that has free range to just drag her around like a rag doll so she doesn't care, but. she wraps her arms around him again. his poor soup brain.]
He - we saw him earlier, too. Before curfew. You saw him, when we were all at the penthouse.
[ he doesn't usually just drag her around this much but. he just. is doing that now. even though earlier he did not seem to want to be touched. it's fine. ]
Right. Yeah, I... he punched somebody. [ we really memshared jokes when his brain is soup. ] I remember that. Maybe he punched his killer too.
What universe are memory lapses fine in because it's not the one we live in. [she doesn't bother taking her hand away though, he can just stop her from punching him again. she brushes her face with her shoulder. ow.]
