[bindings]

No. I don't. And I don't want to.

[she doesn't even really like the smell of them, but you know. she's okay with it if it helps.]

[crucifer]

Yeah, figures. It's an acquired habit.

[ These are all for him... and the other smokers in the arena. It's just that it feels a little weird that non-smokers will buy cigarettes on his behalf, but he doesn't think about it too much. ]

It's fine.

[bindings]

[she tilts her head a little, and then leans against the wall.]

I'm sorry, regardless. [...] I won't lie and say it wasn't self serving as well, but I did hope provoking you into a fight would let you rid yourself of aggression.

[crucifer]

Yeah, well. I wasn't gonna actually start shit with blondie right in front of everyone like that, so gettin' yelled at like I was wasn't helping.

[ Admittedly. But also admittedly: ]

A real fight probably would've helped, yeah. But it's a temporary fix.

[bindings]

I have trouble telling, sometimes. [...] Temporary is better than nothing.

I won't do it again, anyway. Not in front of the others. Nahri was scared of me.

[crucifer]

Is it when the crash is worse than the high?

[ He sighs, lighting up and leaning against the wall. He will be courteous and blow smoke away from Shenhe, downwind to any kind of breeze they may or may not have. ]

You afraid of that?

[bindings]

[she appreciates that, at least.]

Yes. [...] Her opinion matters to me, as well as yours, and Vash's.

[crucifer]

That makes it sound like it's more about what we think, more than anything about yourself.

[bindings]

[she glances away.]

There isn't really a "myself." [...] So maybe.

[and then, with an exasperated huff:] You are all so insistent that I do what I think is right, but I know where that leads.

[crucifer]

Why not? Your gut is right to you for a reason, even if it's not pretty, but nobody's guts are.

Just because it's not always the best doesn't mean you shouldn't at all.

[ Though, he supposes maybe they should just stop making assumptions first. ]

Where exactly does it lead?

[bindings]

Down the most direct path. And mortals do not usually enjoy the direct path.

[usually because it means beating the shit out of whatever is in the way, but you know.]

[crucifer]

I dunno, I'm mortal and I like the direct path the best.

Gets what you want in the shortest amount of time.

Wounds heal. You don't recover something like time.

[bindings]

[dryly:] Hm. I suppose I will kill four people next Thursday, then.

[crucifer]

Damn, calm down overachiever. Settle for one like the rest of us.

[ Dully. ]

[bindings]

[the only reason she hasn't killed everybody not on her team in one go is because she wouldn't get any points for it. thank you jan for making me able to play the murdergame.]

Nahri and Vash do not want me to kill anybody. [... so.]

[crucifer]

[ Help the image of Shenhe going 'can I tpk' and the Reapers telling her no and she's just like understandable have a nice day. ]

I don't think you should risk yourself, either.

[ Though there's a clear distinction here that divides his own and Vash & Nahri's stances. ]

Hopefully, neither of us get our hands forced.

[bindings]

[that is exactly what happened]

... I don't think that I would want to be the only one that people were looking for, in any case. [she says, with a sigh.]

[crucifer]

...

[ Man, he's going to start hating Sundays. This was supposed to be the day of rest. So he's just going to veer this conversation so off-course it leaves skidmarks. ]

Wanna get frozen yogurt?

[bindings]

[HELP she is STARTLED by this sudden tangent, but like. she's not against it, so she just blinks at him.]

Ah - yes? [is that food..... she assumes it is.]

[crucifer]

[ HE'S SO TIRED OF DEPRESSION HE'S BEEN DEALING WITH SO MUCH DEPRESSION he's obviously not genki by any means but by god. ]

Let's go.

[ Heading to the food trucks IMMEDIATELY. And pointing at the list of flavours. Pick one. Or a lot. ]

[bindings]

[that's fair have you tried not feeling emotions at all it's really great (not)

she seems kind of bemused by the way he just goes... she follows, looking at the flavors. she kind of wants whatever birthday cake is, so she'll get that.]

[crucifer]

[ Wolfwood's unfortunate problem is that he feels a little too much and that's why God hates him.

COOL

He doesn't get one it's just Shenhe. ]

Happy birthday.

[ Like, a joke, but really just such a bad one. ]

I just need to get away from all this shitty gloom and doom.

[bindings]

It isn't my... [oh, right. jokes. she pauses.

she's going to look at him like ): don't you want one...]

I'd like to help you do that.

[crucifer]

...Do you actually have a birthday?

[ Speaking of. ]

[bindings]

I do. March 10th.

[if months are different in genshin pretend she said whatever the third month is i'm too lazy to look it up]
