[Guess who's desperate to pretend nothing happened!]

...So look, I know we're all having super tender moments of forgiveness and self-pity around here, probably set to the score from Full House, but I'm kinda past my allowed limit of emo.

[She says this as if she hasn't spent the time after the event ended throwing up over the knowledge that she

video that I'm sure she'll be delighted to see!

[ Alex figures she probably doesn't want to see him after the whole axe incident -- hell, he wouldn't if he was her -- and that's half the reason he replies.

He's a little bit surprised that he manages to, to be honest. But then it's the event that really freaks him out, not Santana herself though he'll be reliving that murder in his dreams for a while, oh god. He's been at the mansion long enough to make that distinction at more than just an intellectual level, at least when it comes to other people.

Anyway, that's enough introspection for one tag. Let's have some actual dialogue! ]

Sounds logical.

[ Take that as approval or a criticism. It's not particularly meant to sound like either. ]

she will weep with love and happiness! ...also, audio still.

[itsahotone]

[She's really really glad she has turned the video off, because when upon seeing him, she goes a little pale.]

...Yeah. Pretty much.

firmly remaining video~

[40410]

[ He considers switching to audio as well, when her picture doesn't appear, but it's kind of an empowering novelty to be the half of the conversation who isn't hiding. So video it stays. ]

You're stronger than I thought.

[ I'm sorry, did she not want to talk about that? ]

SCREW YOU. AUDIO.

[itsahotone]

[She flinches, then glares, even though he can't see it.]

It's hardly my fault you assume too much.

<3~

[40410]

[ Now excuse me just one minute. ]

Yeah, 'cause you weren't playing up the damsel in distress angle.

looks like a mouse! ...1/2

[itsahotone]

I guess that's just how I roll when I kill people, okay?!

2/2

[itsahotone]

[Crap. Even she knows she probably shouldn't be a bitch to the guy she murdered.]

...Sorry.

...that is adorable and I never want to unsee it

[40410]

[ Oh. Shit. Well, apparently Alex wasn't as composed as he thought, because that made him flinch and remember the axe and fuck it, he's switching to audio.

No he's not.

Yes he is.

...No, he's not. He resists the admission of weakness and lowers his hand from the switch. ]

...I don't care.

well yay! :D

[itsahotone]

You don't care? What does that even mean?

[40410]

I mean dying here's about as tragic as a punch in the face, so go ahead. Joke about it. I don't care.

[itsahotone]

That wasn't a joke. [She snaps, because god, you're such an ass, Alex.] Can't you tell the difference between a joke and what I said?!

[40410]

[ Joke, make irreverent comments, whatever. This is not an important debate. DO NOT MAKE ALEX KRALIE OF ALL PEOPLE FEEL LIKE HE NEEDS TO EXPLAIN HUMOUR TO YOU. ]

Are you seriously gonna argue about that?

[ ...he said, argumentatively. ]

[itsahotone]

I was apologizing, you asshole!

[40410]

What? --I wasn't talking about you saying sorry.

[ what is this cross-purpose they are even talking at ]

[itsahotone]

I don't care! I was apologizing and you just go and ignore it! You may not care about dying here or whatever, but not all of us here are used to it.

[40410]

Not yet.

[ What? Admit that she has a very good and valid point? You do know who this guy is, right? ]
