I'll leave your response up to you.

[audacity]

Still feels like a trap, but shoot.

[hardpity]

It took me months to tell anyone on Lily anything concrete about my life that wasn't silly little school anecdotes. I was fully on Peony by the time I willingly said anything with my mouthwords. And even then there's some stuff I haven't mentioned, 'cuz I don't think it's fixable, and even if it was it probably shouldn't be fixed.

[audacity]

[ godsdamn it ]

...yeah. I know what you mean. I'll mention stuff that I don't really think about as problems? And they'll already be making plans for how to fix them. Which isn't a criticism, just like.

I mean. Kinda defeats the purpose of a deal to protect everyone if everyone starts getting involved?

[hardpity]

Well, try thinking about it like...

If everything about your deal was the same except it was, I dunno, let's just say, me, who took it, would you be happy because everyone was safe? Or would you wanna fix it right away?

[audacity]

[ incriminating silence ]

I would...probably be going as crazy as Lethe is. But also, it was me who took it.

[hardpity]

That's true.

Anyway, it's not like I don't understand why you hid it. I'd like to help get rid of it though.

[audacity]

I wouldn't hold it against you if you didn't, you know.

[hardpity]

I know! Jeez, you're too selfless. Lilycore heropilled. I wanna help cuz it makes ME feel bad that you're dealing with it alone.

[audacity]

[ ok, a laugh ]

I mean, trying to help me doesn't go well for people like, often. But saying that super hasn't stopped Lethe or Charon.

[hardpity]

Exactly! Don't worry about it. I'm actually a pretty cool and competent mage, y'know. Lemme flex a bit.

[audacity]

[ ok he's just gonna. let his head fall to aides's shoulder for a minute. allow himself to not hold up that weight for (1) minute ]

I do know. I'm ready to be impressed.

[hardpity]

[ HAIR RUFFLE ]

I'll be careful too, so don't worry.

[audacity]

I'm gonna worry. But I'm glad you're going to be careful. I don't want...you know. You to get hurt or anything. Any of you.

[hardpity]

I don't want me to get hurt either. I'm a total baby about pain and suffering. But I'm actually not that worried about death fish? It kinda seems like I might be its natural predator anyway. So that's kinda lucky. If it was like a lightning fish I might have made some kinda remote drone cuz fuck being hit by lightning

[audacity]

[ finally going to move to disengage, gently ]

Being hit by lightning is the worst, yeah. You know both of my Zeus kid friends have gotten me with that? You'd think once would be enough for anyone.

[hardpity]

[ EXAGGERATED SHUDDER ]

It sucks. Electricity and the human body do NOT get along.

[audacity]

Seriously.

...man, it's just hitting me. But like, that was pretty much the cutest baby ever, right? My sister.

[hardpity]

I have a bias, but I'll allow for a close second place.

[audacity]

"Estelle" is a pretty cute name too...that's from my grandma, my mom's mom.

[hardpity]

It's a starry name, right? She matched your nickname without even knowing!

[audacity]

[ NEEDS A SECOND TO PROCESS THAT ]

Oh. Wow, yeah. You're totally right, actually.

[hardpity]

Hehe, cute... you're fitting into the big brother club already.

[audacity]

I mean...Poseidon has a lot of kids. I only really got along with one, but Tyson's a pretty awesome little bro. I never knew him as a baby, though. And we only live together in the summers sometimes. So it feels like this is kinda different? Not that I love him any less or anything.

[hardpity]

So you were already there, you just leveled up...
