I know guide says, "When you are bored, go to the boards," but this?

Not the "boards" it meant, girl.

[This is cute. Still...]

You want to do good by this blade of yours, don't you?

[bostova]

[ oh goddamnit.

she finishes this one stick before she answers. ]

Of course.

[ she takes out another stick, then looks at aidan again. because she's had similar conversations before. ]

And this is part where you tell me to "open up" to them, da?

[clayce]

No. This is the part where I tell you that opening up to them might suck just as much as closing up and carrying on as usual.

[Taking a drag now, watching the skyline.]

This is also the part where I tell you that regardless, any one of you may die. Might be you, might not be you. And dying too soon tends to fuck with plans and promises. [Slight smile in her direction.] Think about that, and figure out what you want to do from there.

[bostova]

[ close enough. ]

No plans or promises, then.

[ just... do things with them. be with them. they don't have to find anything out about her, and she doesn't have to say anything to them.

...that's what she thinks, at least. it's... working out, so far. ]

[clayce]

Only if you want there to be. But don't expect them not to ask about you, or try to get to know you.

[Finishing his stick now, stepping away.]

Have a good day, Yulia.

[bostova]

And you, Father Clayce.

[ she's not sorry about how the conversation went, but she... appreciates it. 'thank you' just isn't something she says out loud when she means it.

(she's also glad that this is over.) ]
