And if you're planning on doing anything with me at all, get over it and start posting.

[Quietly, solemnly:]

I'm terribly sorry.

[battroll]

... I'll live.

[remediation]

In a world like that, oftentimes surviving is the only outcome worth chasing. [She swallows.] ...For some, "home" looks like that.

[battroll]

I'm not planning on surviving. Not this, in any case.

[He looks at her with terrible compassion.]

I know.

Your home...?

[The Lone Wanderer nods once, grimly. But her lips quiver just a bit.]

Everywhere looks like that. Bombed-out ruins. Wasteland. Humanity is rebuilding, but it's... hard. And so many people won't get to see a better future. [Like her father.]

...If... if my mun finishes her work, I'll be there, too. In the Arena.

[battroll]

I'm sorry.

[The words are terribly inadequate, but heartfelt all the same.]

[remediation]

So am I.

[Bruce gets a quick, almost sad-looking little smile of gratitude.] Maybe- maybe some good will come of it. Not the fighting, but... the people.

[battroll]

[He looks at her, a little questioningly.]

[remediation]

It'd be nice to meet someone good at heart. They seem a little hard-to-find, you know?

['Cause hoo boy. When your experience with people is a band of mercs who want you dead, people wanting you to solve their problems, and a bunch of fascists? "Good at heart" would be heaven-sent.]

[battroll]

I'm afraid that, from what I've seen, they're hard to find no matter where you go.

[... yeah wow. Unfortunately that place that everyone is trying to kill you might not be the best place there.]
