Eli stop angsting

[truestpatriot]

I don't have the right to use that username. And most of the icons you choose for me still have me in uniform.

Can we stop playing pretend before we even start? I don't have the energy for this. And being honest, neither do you.

...I thought so. But you can't say I didn't try.

What do you want me to say here, Eli? I could say it'll all be okay but that'd probably just piss you off. I already told you I'm not going to agree and say it was all your fault. Because it wasn't. So I'm not sure what exactly you want me to do.

[truestpatriot]

I want to do the right thing. We all know we can't just keep doing this- keep losing people, keep endangering innocents.

So why is everybody acting like I'm being a coward by doing what I think is the right thing, for once?

[artemisaim]

Funny, I don't remember once acting like you're a coward. If you want to quit, that's your decision and there's nothing I can do about it. But I'm also not going to sit here and act like you were right the entire time. That's all.

[truestpatriot]

Exactly. It's my decision and if I choose to not be Patriot anymore, I'm entitled to be pissed off if a mundane ignores that choice.

[artemisaim]

I never said you weren't. You can be pissed off at whatever you want. We both know that's something you've always been really good at.

...But, if it counts for anything, I don't think you're anywhere near as terrible as you seem to think you are.

[truestpatriot]

...I think that's the closest to a compliment I've ever gotten from you. I must really look down.

[artemisaim]

Oh come on, I've complimented you before. [Only if the slightly troll-y "hell of a kiss" comment in Asgard counts] I'm just being honest. You wouldn't have been with us for so long if you were really a terrible person.

[truestpatriot]

I never said I was a terrible person. You don't need to be a terrible person to make mistakes too big to go back.

[artemisaim]

You know, you're really hard to cheer up.
