fail after fail, oy oy.

[erekhthein]

Just saying.

Probably shouldn't try walking back into this when you're not ready. It just lets people down.

I'm a little tired of doing that.

Giving up so soon, Cloud?

:c i apologize

[erekhthein]

In some cases, not something I mind.

Don't even worry about it! It happens.

[youwillrot]

Indeed. One would think you'd be well-accustomed to failure by now.

if you're okay with slow tagging i will get back to you as soon as i can ;;

[erekhthein]

Wouldn't really call this my failure. [ victory, actually. ]

take your time, he's used to waiting for... awhile...

[youwillrot]

Just an embarrassment on your part.

our apologies either way oh lord and master

[erekhthein]

Used to embarrassment, too.

your reigning one-winged overlord grants you his forgiveness, unworthy one

[youwillrot]

[...Cloud, it's not very much fun if you're going to sit there agreeing with him. He's got tormenting to do.]

"Keep moving forward. Don't look back, either of you."

Her words, not mine.

we are indeed unworthy /bows

[erekhthein]

[ what that was so arguing, is he losing his touch... ]

Maybe not your words, but you still said it and it's still weird.

[youwillrot]

[We're happy to help you find it again. Touching is our specialty.]

She made me say it.

Just like I could make you do a lot of things you'd rather not.

[swooshycape]

... sometimes we let people down... by never trying at all....

[shinra_dog]

Hey -- hang in there, man, it can't be that awful. Things'll... work out.

Can't guarantee they'll get better, exactly, but more tolerable? Find more people t' share the burden, ya suffer a li'l less.

surprise!

[finalheart]

[None of that. She'll slip soft fingers under his chin and lift, looking for his eyes.]

Did you ever think that, maybe, you're trying too hard, Cloud?

[erekhthein]

[ cringing. ]

A little weird being on the other side of that, isn't it? Thought you stopped taking orders a long time ago.

[erekhthein]

For once, I'm actually the one trying.

[erekhthein]

It's not awful on my end. Oddly enough. But this usually happens with her, something comes up and I'm out of the scene for a while.

meep

[erekhthein]

[ he looks up, a little surprised to see her as he turns his head away, and shrugs ]

Not me, this time. Just the regular amount of trying.

[youwillrot]

[You'd better cringe, boy.]

Consider it a temporary truce.

[shinra_dog]

Ah. [He nods in understanding.] The Mun, then. Hm, yeah, they're complicated things. 'Specially the female ones, like a whole 'nother crazy alien species.

Hopefully things go alright.

[erekhthein]

[ all the cringing. all of it. ]

Not all that keen on taking your word, either.

[erekhthein]

[ ....blink ] I don't think it has anything to do with her being a girl.

[shinra_dog]

[Scoffs.]

Ya don't think so now, but jus' wait 'til that time a' the month hits and she starts cryin' 'cuz a balloon popped on TV. An' if ya laugh, she'll strangle ya over it. Or she'll get all crazy about workin' out some time, which is fine, trainin' is great. But she insists on doin' runs where there's horse shit.

Fuckin' horse shit. Why, dammit, always th' horse shit??

Or if ya go t' the gym, Gaia forbid if ya turn off NCIS.

...
...

It's just my Mun that's crazy, isn't it?

[youwillrot]

With her, not you.

[Wanna see my sword? I hear you're pretty fond of falling on top of it.]

I have chocobo snacks...

[finalheart]

[Oh, Cloud. Turning your face away from her?







She's going to lean forward and blow in his ear.]

[erekhthein]

Still weird.

[ seen bigger. ]

[erekhthein]

....well, mine watched "24" or whatever. I don't think it's the same.
