Afterwards

[vicioussweetie]

Oh no.

Oh, no.

I can't believe I did those things...

Let's never speak of this again.

Comments

[prodigalsith]

Revan clears his throat and raises an eyebrow, arms crossed over his chest.

[vicioussweetie]

Revan's just about the last person she wants to see right now, and his throat-clearing and being-there-ness makes her blush a very interesting shade of embarrassed.

"Um. Hi?"

[prodigalsith]

Well, he knows just when to show up to embarrass folks the most. If asked, he tells people the Force made him do it. He quirks a slight smile at the blush.

"Hi. You appear normal today."

[vicioussweetie]

He's an evil evil man, doing this to her.

"I feel better now. I'm really sorry about the other day. Really, very very sorry. Um. Can we pretend that never happened?"

[prodigalsith]

Well, he was the Dark Lord of the Sith, after all. He could always go kick some puppies for good measure.

"Mmm, we can, but that hardly changes that it did happen. And stop apologizing to me; I do not deserve it."

[vicioussweetie]

She sighs. "No, it doesn't change anything. And I'm so--I don't know what else to say. It's become something of a habit to apologize whenever anything goes wrong."

[prodigalsith]

"I forgave you shortly after it happened; you were not yourself," he says with a dismissive hand-wave, which is as much 'I accept your unnecessary apology' as he gives anyone.

"I would not call that 'going wrong' so much as 'acting strange due to an LOL'. What happened to cause that, anyway?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Daleks." She says that the same way some people say "Stormtroopers" or "Nazis" or "squirrels". "There's an idiotic group of them who're fanatically Christian and are trying to purge the Nexus of sin."

[prodigalsith]

Her tone recalls people from his time and place saying 'Sith' or 'Mandalorians' more than anything. "Christian...?" He shakes his head. Maybe he doesn't want to know. "Clearly they have not succeeded in this endeavor."

[vicioussweetie]

"Not even close. They only ever make things worse. And the less you know about Christianity, the happier you'll be."

[prodigalsith]

"How so?" He snorts and adds arrogantly, "Christianity would be nothing next to the true power of the Force anyway."

[vicioussweetie]

She's going to let the Force comment slide, for now. Not arguing is good.

"Well, one time they made everyone's sense of sexual identity go wonky. And this time I think they turned me evil. There's really no other explanation for it."

[prodigalsith]

Not arguing about the Force with him is a good thing, considering the hideous things he can do with it. It was mostly a self-mocking comment/him quoting Vader anyway.

"How unusual. And that does explain why you were acting so strangely. I think..." :\

[vicioussweetie]

Everyone can do hideous things with faith. That's what makes it so scary.

"Yeah. Not that you aren't handsome, or anything," she's quick to reassure, before adding quietly, "I just can't even think about that sort of thing right now."

[prodigalsith]

Yeah. Pretty much all bets are off when the fanatics start shooting lightning from their fingers.

He nods. "Thank you. Fair enough. I simply wanted to make sure we had that conversation I said we were going to have."

[vicioussweetie]

She smiles faintly. "Decided I need looking-after, have you?"
