Some time after their super cheery conversation about Barge resets?

[gotgreenmagic]

Shego was drifting a bit. The onset of the death toll had put her into kind of a weird place - randomly spiking headaches, nosebleeds, the promise of absolute horror if she tried to sleep. At least she could discount the hallucinations as something that everything else was going through.

She was padding along the hallway on her way to the gym when she noticed the broken handle on an otherwise Barge-neutral door. Another trick? Cautious, she nudged it open with her foot and peered inside.

"...Arthas?"

yas :v

He had a knife out the second the door creaked, but relaxed his arm. Not a shade.

"Hi."

[gotgreenmagic]

She glanced at the knife in his hand and pulled a face, but there wasn't as much in it as there would have been a couple days ago.

"Who were you talking to?"

[darknessb4me]

"I'm trying to get the Admiral's attention."

It sounded stupid about the second after he actually heard himself saying it, but he glanced at the spot on the ceiling anyway like it might have changed.

"If he has answers, we deserve to know them. And if he doesn't, then I want to know that too."

[gotgreenmagic]

Shego looked at the ceiling for a moment as if expecting it to chip in.

"If this is him, he's probably having way too much fun to let anybody else in on the joke." She frowned. "Hell, if it's somebody else, I bet the same applies."

[darknessb4me]

"I don't assume he wants to tell us, or he would have by now. He would tell us - anything useful, besides informing us of floods and pairings. But wardens can demand things, and I've seen him answer people that repeat themselves enough."

He raised his voice.

"I am not going to leave you alone. I know you can hear me."

[gotgreenmagic]

She hesitated for a moment, then leaned against the wall. Arthas seemed to have an endothermic effect on the air around him and the cold might help her stay alert for a little while.

"I don't think he's ever done anything to make me think he thinks we deserve anything."

[darknessb4me]

"No. But he listens. That we know. And I'll wait, and repeat myself, until I get a response."

[gotgreenmagic]

"Best case scenario, he's gonna laugh at you and give you a cookie. How is that better than just not knowing?"

[darknessb4me]

"I don't consider that an actual response."

[gotgreenmagic]

"I think he does."

[darknessb4me]

"I know. But it won't get me to leave him alone."
