"I know. I've seen it before. But thank you." He has a tattoo? I never would have thought that. What an odd place for it, too. I passed him, glancing periodically at the design. Blue roses weren't exactly common, where they? I moved up the stairs, growing ever more nervous. On the way I passed Kinsley's open door. He, of course, was wide awake, and reading what looked to be a meteorology textbook. "....is it any good?" He didn't seem to hear me. "Hello?" Still no answer. I shrugged and moved on down the hall.

Currently, Ivory was knee deep in writing requests, finally getting back to 'work' after a long 'hiatus'. Luckily nothing had a due date set you, meaning no stress. She heard a knock on the door. Hmmm? No one usually bothered her this early. Oh well. She got up and went to the door to find...Seculus? Oh. Well she didn't expect him. Especially after yesterday. "Hi." She greeted. Was he here to yell at her?

"...hello." I rubbed my arm awkwardly. "May I...come in?"

2015-09-07 10:16:28

●

"...Yeah, sure." She moved aside to let him in.

".....thank you." I stepped inside and glanced around. A nice room by all rights. Only one chair though. So I remained standing. "...understandably, everyone was extremely upset after you left yesterday...."

"Of course they are. That'd be a given. " She's dealt with this before. It really...wasn't a surprise by now.

Yes, of course. Stupid Seculus. "Anndrea and Terezi wanted to know where you'd gone, and Tassek....once he woke up....just wanted a chainsaw and your exact coordinates."

2015-09-07 10:21:46

●

"Good. Then I got my point across."

2015-09-07 10:22:43

🌀

I sighed. ".....Ivory. You can't just....I know he was being frustrating, but you can't simply start fights. Especially with humans."

"I've done it before and I'll do it again."

2015-09-07 10:25:03

🌀

"No, you can't. You shouldn't. It's going to get you killed sooner or later."

2015-09-07 10:26:02

●

"You think I don't already know that?" She looked up at him. "Seculus, I think the point has been proven several times that I really don't give a damn as to what happens to /me./"

2015-09-07 10:27:40

🌀

"...w-well, you /should/. If you really hate seeing people suffer, then you have to care about what happens to you, because if something bad does happen, they'll be suffering just watching it happen."

2015-09-07 10:29:40

●

"And then what? I get screamed at for doing it? Get to the point, Seculus. You obviously came here to lecture me the same lecture I've heard a million times now. It gets old after a while."

2015-09-07 10:31:47

🌀

Bloody fucking Hell, I could just SCREAM. "Dammit, I -- no! No, I don't have a point, I have no idea what to do in this oh-so-splendid situation, because I can't turn back time, absolutely nothing I say is going to impact your future actions, and I'm /sick and tired/ of people trying to convince me I'm wrong about things like this!" I wasn't yelling at her. I was yelling at me. All I was doing was making her bored and annoyed as she casually dismissed this extremely important problem. What the Hell was I /supposed/ to do?! This was APPARENTLY 'the same old lecture'! COULDN'T SHE GET IT THROUGH HER HEAD AFTER BEING TOLD SO MANY TIMES THEN???

"Do you honestly think I regret fighting Tassek?" She let out a forced laugh. "I don't. In the slightest. Because if I didn't step in, things would of gotten worse. You can be pissed, you can hate me, I don't /care./ Because that fact still remains. I was needed. I don't care if I started it, because I was going to end it there."

2015-09-07 10:44:05

🌀

"Of course I don't hate you! But there are better ways to deal with things like that!"

2015-09-07 10:47:25

●

"What's best isn't always right."

2015-09-07 10:48:53

🌀

"Maybe not, but at least right keeps social interactions more pleasant and less 'I want to tear your arms off now'."

2015-09-07 10:50:04

●

"Oh,I wasn't going to tear his arms off. I'm not /that/ bad."

2015-09-07 10:52:01

🌀

"No, but he might've."

2015-09-07 10:53:13

●

"I'd like to see him try."

2015-09-07 10:53:57

🌀

"Perhaps after he convinces Terezi to turn him."

2015-09-07 10:55:49

●

"Eh, then it will be my problem. Again, I really don't care if I get hurt."

2015-09-07 10:57:25

🌀

"Well, I do, and I'm not allowing that."
