Oh no, I wouldn't worry if I were you. She's in good hands now and she'll teach that boy a thing or two about not jumping to action without thinking twice. Isn't that the point of that game of theirs?


They're in good hands too, those boys. All of them - they're dead, so they're in a better place. Don't worry about them, either.

[ psh. manners, Poison, manners! ]

Oh no, I don't claim clairvoyance along with everything else. All I know is that some things are meant to happen in due time.

[gloryisbullshit]

[He's being very good, hands folded and everything!] And you figure the bomb's due?

[phoenixwitch]

[ Oh so considerate, sweetpea! ]

I think it's getting there. It's not as much about the imminent destruction as it is about the need to make a change.

I have faith your girl will remember that.

[gloryisbullshit]

Askin'er t'remember an awful lot lately.

[phoenixwitch]

She deserves to know what makes her so special, kid.

[gloryisbullshit]

Yeah, but--yeah, but can't--fuckin--

This special sucks.

[phoenixwitch]

Won't it be worse if this drags on and she's left all alone?

Who knows what could happen then.

[gloryisbullshit]

Yeah, but--I mean, ainchu got friends? Like--fates? Norns or some sh--thing? Get someone to pull some strings, little girls don't need this kinda special!

[phoenixwitch]

That's not how it works. She was destined for it, it isn't within my reach to turn back time and change the course of events.

[gloryisbullshit]

So reach more, get a stick or something! Don't you care?

[phoenixwitch]

It's not about whether or not I care. It's not ethical of me to put my personal beliefs above the natural order of things.

[gloryisbullshit]

Aha! In a universe clearly ruled by the strong, strict hand of ethics! Ethics! Jesus! She's a baby!

[phoenixwitch]

I ask you again: would you rather she was left all alone while all those kids drive to their death? Isn't that a worse fate?

You don't have to coddle her, now. She knows what sacrifice is all about. Have faith that she'll make the right choices, just like you and your boys.

[gloryisbullshit]

I know! I know, I--j-shit! [Forgive him, he just a needs a second.]

2/2

[gloryisbullshit]

I know. I know, I know, I know it, I do, I--



Everything's gonna be fine?

[phoenixwitch]

As long as you have faith in your girl, everything will turn out the way it should.

Fine or not, is a matter of perspective.

[gloryisbullshit]

For like a goddess, you're about zero comfort, yeah?

[phoenixwitch]

Only when you ask me to do the impossible, kid.
That includes asking me to change things, by the way. Or spoiling the future for you.

[ It's nothing against you, she just has her own rules going on y'know? ]

[gloryisbullshit]

[Sure, but he's gonna huff about it anyway.] Then what's possible? When the time--when it's time--you'll show her where we are?

[phoenixwitch]

I have a feeling that she'd find you even if I didn't.
Which I will; of course I will.

You'll all be together again. No detonations this time.

[gloryisbullshit]

Swear?

[phoenixwitch]

[ Wiggles a finger at ]

Party Poison, don't push your luck.




[ but give her a moment ]

I don't lie, so make of that what you will.

[gloryisbullshit]

[Ducks, sufficiently scolded.] ...Thank you.
