[earlier he's sure he would have torn her to pieces over this one, just out of spite, and even now he's more tempted to be snide than anything. It's not like he'll get a cordial response either way.]

[but--]

So that's it, then.

[ cordial? what is cordial? ]

[ if it's pulling on her face to rid her eyes of sleep sand, to wake up, because apparently this has to be dealt with and dammit she's going to break the forge tomorrow, or glaring down at her pillow as if it's done her some wrong (which it has) then she might be doing it right... ]

[ but look. this is one she doesn't have to be cordial to at all. ]

Fuck off.

[this isn't exactly an olive branch, Mina]

[not that you'll take it as one]

You're overestimating how much I care.

If you don't care -

[ to try to wound me, you probably wouldn't have responded. ]

[ nor in private. ]

- than lay off. I'm not - fuck... fucking... - I'm not talking about this with you!

Then stop. Go ahead, turn off the feed.

[a swallow, his tone, surprisingly, not caustic at all] You didn't get saved either. That's what soured you on the whole world.

Why don't you? You started it.

[ her irritation - and inability to turn off the forge - is increased by those words and the amount of confusion they place on her. ]

...what is that supposed to mean.

What do you think? That's why you're like this, right?

[ she does not like to admit that, but yes. yes. so much yes that she's obligated to say... ]

No. What makes you think that?

Everything.

[he clears his throat, blinking at the camera] You trusted her and she betrayed you. After that nothing was right anymore.

You almost sound as if you know what you're talking about.

[of course he would]

[and of course she'd pick up on that]

It's not difficult to pick up on.

[ of course she would. "it's not difficult". ]

[ she glares at the forge for a few moments and then dips her head to laugh in a low, soft giggle. ]

Yeah. Yeah~

My mom's the reason I'm so fucked up. What's your excuse?

[he half-wishes he hadn't set it to video, because he can feel his own expression twisting and hardening even as she starts to laugh]

I don't have one.

[and that's a whole other, irrelevant can of worms, so it only leaves him with one safe option]

[sniping back more than he ever wanted or quite intended]

You're a fine one to talk about any of this. You can curse and use people all you want, but inside you're still nothing but that scared little girl.

[ ouch... ]

[ that's harsh, mister - and that sour but casual demeanor she was trying so hard to sport slips faster than water through her fingers. ]

I haven't been scared in a long time, you demented fuck. Do I look like I am now?
