[oh, this - well, listen, this is very effective. livio's presumably got wolfwood which means shenhe just has a punching bag to aim for but - nahri grabbing for her arm makes her stop almost dead in her tracks. vash stops her the rest of the way.

she has to clench both of her fists very tightly and close her eyes to try and calm down.]

Stop it. [ she is too freaked out to be mad. she isn't letting go of shenhe's arm though. ]

[very tightly:] I'm trying.

I know. I know. [ she might be shaking a little. ]

I'll just put up a barrier if Vash lets you go. Don't do this.

[a deep breath.]

You should just let me fight him. It will make both of us feel better.

I'm not going to.

[she adjusts her bindings and just sits down right where she is.]

[ sits and puts the blanket on her shoulders instead. ]

[after a moment:] I didn't hurt you, did I?

No.

[she brings a hand up to rub at the bridge of her nose.]

... Alright.

Will you be okay if I leave?

[she is quiet for a good second, and then:]

Yes.

Can we—I don't know what's going on, but can we not fight?

[HELP POOR ALEX shenhe just

... Sorry. [she does genuinely sound it - she just has a temper problem.]

It's fine as long as everyone just stops.

[she's just silent now, staring at the ground.]

[ also gonna come to awkwardly hover around her at some point.... trying to figure out how to do an Emotional Support ]

Hello, Livio. [she doesn't seem to mind, at least!]

.... Sorry about all this. Ya gonna be alright?

[ also gonna give her a few pats ]

[she is a little confused about the pats but she only slightly shrinks away from them.]

I'll be fine. Is Wolfwood alright?

[ withdraws his hand!! ]

He'll be alright, it's probably just some stupid fight they had that got blown out of proportion.

[ he sounds affectionate despite everything ]

I'll make sure it gets sorted out.
