I don't blame anyone for it. We just... weren't taught, or weren't taught well. [She's not upset at her... yet.] That's all right. I... my head doesn't work like it's supposed to more than yours. I can't be upset at you when it happens to me all the time...

Did we send him or did he leave on his own? [She's not upset, but she does give her a look.] I'm not upset at you! I promise. Even if you're an ass sometimes.

Well, he's... I don't wanna say fine but we haven't gotten any condolences so... [A little shrug.] I cannot believe that. You're very Well meaning at least. Don't be offended. I say it out of love.

Fair. [An eyebrow shoots up. She crosses her arms now.] Do I have to send anyone to the gates early?

No, no it isn't. If it hurt you they deserve me slapping sense into them. [She is, perhaps, too fond of trouble, but it IS her sister...]

Ash, we are all going to be quite literally emotionally scalped by Mom or each other. If I promise to be good will you tell me? If not I'll leave you be. [She's very good at getting in trouble for occasionally the right reasons.]

[Holding up her little finger.] Pinky promise.

[The hand that held her now empty bottle almost shattered it then.] /Excuse me/? I-- seriously?

She's incredibly lucky that she's decided to never see you again. I never said I'd be good if there were continuous infractions. [A little annoyed sigh. At Least she doesn't have to deal with that much anymore.]

I was putting my life on the line because I didn't expect to be alive this long, and it isn't a good adventure at all. Stress comes in different forms. I'm not going to pretend like you don't experience it differently than me.

"I'm only here because I forgot about how sad you'd be if I wasn't, I guess." She paused when she tried to hug her, eventually understanding the assignment and doing it back. "What is there to really tell you? I'm just... sad, still."

"Actually, there's like 13 of you, and all of you are equally important to me." She couldn't smile properly, anyways, so it was rare when she tried to. "It's always the same thing. Losing someone you were supposed to spend forever with. I don't know why I can't get over it."

Starting the day off right with total organ failure,

They only want what they can sell And I can't help that I sell well We are drawing circles on an empty page Playing power chords on a private stage The body's a temple, it's in ruins Empty visions, empty tomb If everything I own I steal Tell me, baby, how does it feel? #NOVENARY
