Canon is Divergent

[justfour]

You're serious about this? I don't even know why I'm asking, it's pretty obvious that you are.

Just saying maybe you should finish the book first? The second one. You might not like how it goes.

You have no idea how glad I am to finally see you. It could be under better circumstances, but you're here.

[justfour]

Better circumstances, a little forethought. I don't like how quickly she's latched onto something.

[heteroclite]

They don't think much before they act. Mine doesn't, either.

[justfour]

All I can say is that at least she reads fast. She'll probably be finished by the end of the week.

[heteroclite]

Mine was the same way. She couldn't put them down, and she blames me for being loud instead of her own impulsiveness.

[justfour]

Does yours like to think she's Dauntless? Because there's way too much of that going on over here.

[heteroclite]

No. She's like me. [ Tris seems to think her mun is just as Divergent as she is. ]

[justfour]

[A small smile.] I think they all are. Doesn't mean they think it.

[heteroclite]

She thinks she wouldn't survive Dauntless. Sometimes she says she'd choose it anyway, for the freedom and the rush. But she knows she'd be better with Amity. I don't think there could be two more opposite options. [ But she smiles back. ] She's not doing anything bad to you, is she?

[justfour]

Mine would probably end up Amity too, or Erudite the way they used to be, when they were more like ... Do you have any idea what a 'Ravenclaw' is? Because now she's waxing poetical and it's giving me a headache trying to follow.

[heteroclite]

I don't, but she does, and she seems to think she used to be the same way. Their world is strange.

[justfour]

Yeah. And because I got distracted and didn't answer before: no she hasn't done anything bad yet. But I've had a chance to see how she operates, and it's pretty much only a matter of time.

[heteroclite]

Yet. It's always yet. [ With which she seems thoroughly dissatisfied. ] Someone up here with me named Katniss keeps trying to warn me.

[justfour]

Weird. There's one of those here too, with the same sort of attitude 'been here long enough to know how it works', she says.

[heteroclite]

Katniss's warnings aren't anything compared to -- um -- [ Weird name, weird name... Tris frowns thoughtfully for a second before it hits her. ] Buffy's. I think we should both pay close attention. Be careful. [ Especially when they're not near each other. They can't protect one another from this thing. Whatever it is. These people. ]

[justfour]

There are a few here who say it's not all bad. So I guess I'll take it as it comes.

You be careful too, Tris.

[heteroclite]

[ She could say she always is, but that's not entirely true, is it? ] I will. Hopefully they won't try to separate us too much. I think this'll be easier on us both if we have each other.

[justfour]

My guess is that they plan to throw us together as often as possible.

But that might not be a good thing either. Caution is our best defense right now.

[heteroclite]

I can only hope. [ She smiles at him, because. Well. Tobias. ]

Caution and the fact that I'm a better fighter than she'd ever be.

[justfour]

[She gets a smile in turn, a little one, but it's there.]

Kind of hard to fight someone from inside their head.
