[he

looks away!]

[probe]

You could just admit I'm right. I won't tell.

[enfangs]

S-Shut up...

[probe]

Nope. [another sparkle of fond feelings.] Seriously...toxic masculinity is really bad, White.

[enfangs]

Why is this what I'm being scolded on, of all things...

[probe]

Because I'm giving you a break since I'm pretty sure it's easier for you to argue with me than be honest with me sometimes.

[enfangs]

[... well, he can't say anything to that.]

[probe]

[...she just uses her foot to kick him lightly.]

You're gonna have to deal with this, but I will tell you literally every day that you're a good person who deserves good things and it's not because you're some big macho guy.

[enfangs]

[stop!! he's getting embarrassed!!!]

... T-Thanks...

[probe]

[hehehe. there's fondness but also major gremlin energy. there's a reason wrath is one of her favorites.]

...tomorrow'll be better, at least. No execution or anything.

[enfangs]

If nothing happens, I'm going to spend the entire day napping.

[he is so tired]

[probe]

You and me both...mostly. I am gonna have to prepare for next week even if I really don't know if I want to anymore.

[enfangs]

I don't blame you. Everything's just exhausting.

[probe]

I know...what am I gonna doooo. [uggggggh. she would love a twenty-thousand year nap. and then monday happens and everything's just as bad but it's fine.]

I've been trying to figure out how to make it less exhausting but so far no good.

[enfangs]

Throw a party? Don't think anyone's in the mood for that, though...

[probe]

Tried that already, and then everybody started playing that game. [frowning.]

...but hopefully after today people will be a little more secure. You guys pulled off something that usually would be impossible.

[enfangs]

It is seriously weird being around so many... cooperative and non-murderous people.

[probe]

I worry about the kind of people you normally hang out with, but I get it. Especially after so many weeks of people being around and actively starting to ruin stuff.

[enfangs]

As soon as people starts killing, it usually spirals, yeah. Pretty weird that we managed to... slow it down?

[probe]

It both is and isn't weird. Especially when you look at the people we have left. I'm impressed now, but I'll be more impressed if it stays like this.

[enfangs]

We'll see next week, then—if we only succeeded 'cause of Harrow's threat, or if someone's just biding their time.

[probe]

...she's pretty intimidating, so I think it might've actually worked, along with a few other things. You guys even convinced Primrose to change her mind.

[enfangs]

Well, I dunno if I'd really call it changing her mind, as so much no one really wants to be the odd one out.

[probe]

You don't think it's going to be a problem going into next week then, do you...?

[enfangs]

It'd better not be.

[he's immediately on edge, largely out of protectiveness for mineo.]
