On a upcoming drop in IC

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...So I was right after all.

This just makes that whole "meme" thing you did with Randy a while back all the more true. I can't rely on anyone, Sure they come into my life and make out they're gonna stay there but in the end they always leave.

It doesn't matter how dead he is. Ravus' words always seem to ring truths.

Maybe I should just give up on everyone already, They're all gonna leave anyway so what's the point?

how come these two always end up in feels

[And unlike usual, Berri sinks. She does exert enough power to keep from just dropping the few extra feet to the ground, instead just sliding down, but she doesn't float up or anything.]

You can and you do. I don't know if it was inherited from your mother or your crazy side, but you're a survivor. You keep moving, even when you feel you can't.

Because Berri's best surrogate mom figure.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I don't know...

Are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you.

[meng_huan_myuu]

And that's why you didn't. Even if you have his power under there, you aren't him. I told you that, didn't I? You have a heart underneath the scales, and it's not black.

It's not the blade, but who wields it that makes power good or evil, child.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

And you'll still be here...

even if I lash out at you like this?

[She's doing her best not to cry here so she chokes back a scoff and hides under her bangs. She doesn't want to have a huge crying session in front of Berri.]

Why? You know what I'm like and you've seen how destructive I can be when I'm like this? Why do you even bother with me Berri?

[meng_huan_myuu]

Because you're better than me. More importantly, you still have a chance to keep from jumping off that slope.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I'm not better than you Berri.

You've got...like years of wisdom over me, All I've got are unanswered questions, a stroppy attitude and abilities I'm still not entirely sure how to work right.

[meng_huan_myuu]

...You saw what I did to Trevor. It was your first impression of me.

Certainly, years of wisdom were put to use there.

[Yeah, there's a bit of a sardonic tone leaking through, now.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Okay, Okay there's that.

But I'm still pretty stupid.

[meng_huan_myuu]

You're far from stupid. You're impulsive and emotional, and those aren't necessarily bad traits.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She just sighs now.]

I still feel pretty crummy about it.

[meng_huan_myuu]

Stop beating yourself up over things you can't control, and we'll call it even. Deal?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Deal.

[meng_huan_myuu]

...So, now onto proper business. When are you and that turtle gonna decide to settle down together? You aren't getting any younger, child. ♥

[Welp, this was a complete 180.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Berri!

...W-We're barely together as it is! I'm not even sure if Leo's still into me. I mean I told him how I felt but there's still-

I don't think we're quite at that stage yet!
