[ She pauses, and then scoots across the couch a bit to nudge his shoulder with hers. ]
Being responsible for a lot of people is rough. [ She says finally. ] I'd tear down anybody who fucked with my family. No hesitation. If I was there with you back in your world I wouldn't have stopped you from killing the guy, honestly. I would've helped.
And I kind of wanna help you burn this place down too. Someone's gotta do it. Maybe it can be us.
[He doesn't exactly smile back, but he does look mildly less serious than usual.]
You are welcome to the do the same. I know that I am . . . not good at conversation, always, but I will listen if there's anything you'd like to share. You've heard me out more than enough. I'd like to know more about you.
Yeah? That tracks, I'm really fucking interesting. [ beau please. she's mostly joking, though. ] You do just fine at conversation, man, you - actually? You kind of remind me of Caleb sometimes.
Yeah, that's him. He kind of - [ and she drops into a REALLY shitty german accent: ] talks like this. He shoots fireballs and has a cat named Frumpkin.
[ back to her normal accent. ] He's really fucking hard on himself, and quiet a lot. But he's smart, and he's powerful, and I know I can trust him to keep me safe when we're fighting monsters.
Nah, not that one, not blue ones? Those do lightning.
I've seen ones that breathe fire, though. One time an ancient red dragon flew over my hometown and it blew fire like, through the sky. We could feel how hot it was from the ground.
[haha! wonder what that's like! from the ground. He's . . . only ever been the dragon . . . anyway. He's got a very intense look on his face. it's maybe hard to read if you aren't fluent in very serious teen, but it's definitely along the lines of "in awe of the dopest shit he's ever heard."]
Where you are from-- dragons, magic, those who can summon fire . . . these are common?
[ beau is fluent in punk teen and it's a close enough language that she gets at least some of the wonder in that. also, what the fuck, she wants to be a dragon like that?? ]
Not common but they're not uncommon, either. There's definitely enough for people to notice. Things like giant ra-- [ A pause. ] giant... versions of animals, those are more common than dragons but.

Don't mention it. I got your back, okay? [ She nudges him again, this time with a little smile. ] Talk to me when you need.

The one with the fireballs?

You fight . . . monsters?
no subject
All kinds. Harpies, dragons, whatever we have to.
no subject
Ah-- really? A dragon? What was it like?
[This is basically begging for COOL DRAGON FACTS]
no subject
Really fucking big. Like the size of this room, almost, and he was blue. Big scaly wings, blew lightning at us.
no subject
[Lightning. Hm. Disappointing.]
I've . . . always thought it was fire.
