...are you really going to fight with him?

[No need to specify who. Really.]

Are you. Sure you want to do that?

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

You don't think I should.

[priscilla]

Well... it's kind of...

Why would you want to do that? I wouldn't do that. Um. I mean, if I weren't me.

[THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, PRISCILLA.]

...hm.

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

Think of it as a not entirely unfriendly [pfft] spar. We were encouraged to be more aware of each other's abilities [sure, just let him see any weakness I have], correct?

[Then again better to get it out of the way NOW.]

I don't trust this creature, but I do trust your judgment. And you are you. So what you're saying is...

[priscilla]

He's not a creature.

[...]

Or... maybe he is. I'm not really sure what to call him, come to think of it. Well! That's part of the point of all this. And I don't think he'll-- but it just...

I'm not being rational.

Mrmph! Maybe it's just... strange with all the different... worlds. Coming together!

[If you could see her, you would see flailing. Hand gestures are fun.]

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

[It's kinder than monster. It's as kind as she's willing to be, in his case.]

It just ...what? [OH I DON'T KNOW AWAKENED BEING PERHAPS?]

[...]

[Not. Rational. Really? Ya think? Pffft. Come now. WHATEVER WOULD GIVE RISE TO THIS IDEA.] Perhaps not, but you are being honest.

I suppose I shouldn't have to state that this is not 'to the death' in my terms, do I?

[priscilla]

No. I don't think that's necessary.

[Well, she knows that. Because she broke down and asked him not to hurt Irene. But, well.]

...although, I guess it wouldn't hurt.

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

Very well.

[priscilla]

...Irene?

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

Mm?

[priscilla]

...do you really not understand?

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

It is just a spar, Priscilla. But if there is something you think I do not understand, then speak your peace.

I will always listen to what you have to say. [EVEN IF IT IS BRAINBREAKING.]

[priscilla]

I don't mean the spar. I won't pretend I don't find it, um. Strange. Seeing him around people I... care about.

But the spar doesn't really worry me too much, I think. I think? ...I don't really know what it is, and now I'm rambling. Again.

But I just mean... the entire situation. You told me you didn't understand it.

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

[...]

I am trying to understand. I am sure that I will continue to need your help in that regard.

I want to understand. And I want you to be able to speak with me honestly.

And your [...] ...rambling is always welcome.

[priscilla]

I understand. The not understanding.

[....]

What I mean is...! Well, you probably know what I mean.

I wish I could explain it better than I have. But if you ever have a question or... I don't know. I'll tell you anything,

[a few moments later.]

[halcyonthird.livejournal.com]

[Alright.]

What is it you want from the situation. From [THAT THING.] Isley?

[...]

Ideally, speaking.

[And a few MORE moments later]

[priscilla]

I guess...

Ideally, he would turn out to be the person he wants me to think he is.

[...she's hoping that made sense.]
