no subject
[Getting to know people here while learning about the people Rodya's come to care about... Yeah. They'd like that a lot.]
< Oh, and... have you ever said anything about me to them? N-Not that you should have. I just don't want them to be... you know. > [They gesture to their head] < Surprised. >
no subject
[A pause.]
Okay, don't get mad over this, but I had to tell Yuwon about corrosions and distortions because Ishy and I had to use our E.G.O. several times during some fights plus with last mission and Wriothesley... We don't know if that can happen here yet, but the risk was there and tons of us were worried over Ishmael.
no subject
< I'm not mad about it, especially since it makes sense in that case. > [Though they're not happy about it either, given that they're all supposed to be keeping that sort of thing on the down low.] < ...Oh! >
[Realization hits with the chime of a cash register as Dante immediately sits up straight. Rodya and Ishmael wouldn't know.]
< It might not come up that often since you two are on different teams from me, but... How often are you guys using E.G.O., anyway? >
no subject
[Which she has certainly did corrode in the past and given Dante's next question.... Her eyes avert away as she scratches her cheek.]
A good amount, but it's fine! We've been totally careful on not going overboard~ [says the one who was in red shoes mode in the last mission.]
no subject
< That wasn't what I... >
[Considering who else is here and what he's said, there's only one good question to judge the situation with]
< Has Vergilius gotten on you guys about it? >
no subject
[Being on seperate things does help keep things away from Vergilius's radar, but she doesn't intently get on his bad side outside of her usual teasing and jabs.]
I'm still alive, aren't I? Didn't kill off anyone by accident so it's fine.
[She's not going to mention on how she was mostly alone fighting the vampires in the last mission. She knew the risks yet she still put on those red shoes. Maybe her actions made a difference. Maybe it didn't.]
no subject
< That's good enough for me then. >
[They'll wait to experience the missions for themselves after all.]
< But that isn't what I was going to bring up. I learned something new recently, and I should be able to power your E.G.O. attacks up with it. >
[If LILITH messing with their head didn't do anything to it. For some reason the possibility of slowing down time seems so far away as to be unreachable.]
no subject
[Dante is changing as well, huh... Also it's a nice break that the conversation seemed to shifted to less focus on herself.]
Wonder what other kind of powers you are gonna get down the road... Anyways when did ya learn that power? Last thing I remembered was heading towards the WARP train ride...
[She is not going to mention about the Timekilling Time case and hopefully Dante won't either!!!]
no subject
They sigh without breath and fold their arms. At least they've already had to explain this once, so it should be easier this time.]
< Let's start with this: do you know what happened on the train? >
no subject
[Because given what she knows about the trains from the identities of others, it's pretty horrifying.]
no subject
[Honestly...]
< And... here too, apparently? I'm not sure what's up with that. >
[La Manchaland and Don Quixote they get, but another world too... The flow they're following lately seems to be filled with nothing but Bloodfiends.]</small.
no subject
[But man, what is with her life having Bloodfiends lately... The encounter and mission back in Transylvania was exhausting enough. Dealing with the same thing back at The City would be worse. Her expression shows that she is taking this news with some seriousness.]
I can tell you about what kind of hell the rest of us went through back in Brasov, but... Did anything else happened back there, Dante? Did we reach our spot, got the Bough, and all of that?
[She isn't sure if she wants the full story yet, but surely their journey is still ongoing... Right?]
no subject
[Their strange, somewhat dysfunctional family of thirteen made it through.]
< I told Ishmael this already, but I can't give you all the details of the mission. But it should be okay to talk about some of it if you want to be prepared. >
no subject
Ishmael can be prepared as much as she wants and I'll deal with it when the time is right... Knowing that we all made it out is enough for me.
[Or maybe she isn't ready to know the full story yet. It's hard to tell how she feels about it.]
no subject
< ...Everything okay? >
no subject
Nothing you have to worry about, Dante.
no subject
< Maybe, but I can't tell one way or another if I don't know what it is. Who knows, maybe I can even help out? >
no subject
[............................]
Only instead of taking it, I may have snapped back a little bit and she's probably completely doesn't want anything to do with me outside of necessary work stuff, but it's fine!
[Is it.............]
no subject
< So... you guys got into a fight and you're worried things were taken too far. >
[There's no judgment in their words. More an attempt to piece things together.
They'd be lying if they said it didn't worry them a little--they've only really felt like they had some semblance of a handle on the Sinners' more serious arguments between one another just recently. But... this doesn't feel like some sort of irreconcilable grudge either. At least, that's not the feeling they get.]
< Are you sure she still doesn't want anything to do with you? I-I'm not trying to downplay what happened or anything but... >
["Completely" just seems like a pretty big leap is all.]
no subject
[You give the sailor time to get her rage out and hope you don't get a harpoon in your shoulder. Her gaze darkens as a chill picks up in the air.]
It didn't reach a physical point or anything.
no subject
[As much pain as Ishmael must be in... Rodya is hurting too.]
< Like I said earlier, if there's anything at all you need to get out, it's just me here. I'll hear you out, without judgment. >
no subject
[She's been hurting all of her life in some fashion.]
It's a dumb fight and I should have kept letting her go off so it can get out of her system. Just like before... Kicking her out of my space wasn't going to solve anything.
no subject
< Have you guys talked at all since then? >
no subject
I think this might need some time and space... I'll probably make things worse if I talk to her now. I think that's for the best right now, Dante.
[Because she has no idea what else to do.]
no subject
They block out their sight as they think, then open their "eyes" once more.]
< ...All right. I won't push any more right now. Just... don't let yourself think it'll be forever, okay? I don't know how else to put it, but... Spring always comes after Winter, right? After everything you guys have gone through together... I still think Spring will come. >
[And with it, the thaw.]
