Shego, that thing you did during sparring today really hurt. [He has probably said this like twenty times to her face, already.] My shoulder's turning purple

I'm really worried about your shoulder. I also want to know what the situation is between you and Shego. I find it very confusing and I dislike being confused.

Knowing absurd things like who you're dating makes me feel like I have control over my own life.

[mightymorbid]

One, we're not dating. Two, she's teaching me self-defense. If I have to use anti-magic again and wind up with only one working arm I want to know how to use it to defend myself. You don't hit much harder than I do but it's still hard to fight with one hand literally dead.

Not that I'm planning on hitting you again unless you deserve it. I actually don't like fighting with you.

[emptyyourself]

I don't like fighting you, either. I hate fist-fighting. I'm not good at it and I dislike doing anything that makes me appear weak.

Also, it makes me uncomfortable when people threaten to hit me. Especially you and Martha.

Talking about this is making me ill.

I'm very impressed with your anti-magic weaponry. I want to learn to make it so I can use it against people I don't like.

[mightymorbid]

It's my anti-magic, and it makes me feel unique because no one else has it. You can't have any.

I don't want to threaten you, either. Don't be ill. In my head all I'm hearing is "talking to you makes me sick" and I don't like that. I won't talk about hitting you anymore.

Just put some ice on it and avoid heavy lifting for the next day or so, princess. You'll be fine.

[mightymorbid]

Don't call me Princess. That's not funny.

[gotgreenmagic]

Whatever. Ice, rest. Whining about it won't make it heal up faster.

[mightymorbid]

But whining about it makes me feel better.

[can_has_vodka]

Oh luv, your poor shoulder! It's awesome that you're doing self defense lessons but I worry about the cost to you sometimes.

Do you not have time to work the pub anymore? It would be nice to see you down there. I was hoping to get your aid with some of the party ideas I had because I don't know if my drink mixing skills are quite up to it. That and I like to drink a terrible lot.

[emptyyourself]

I hate that you've taken over where I left off with him. I think either you're going to reap the benefits of all the progress I've made with him instead of doing any of your own work, or you're going to abandon him like all his other wardens.

I know it isn't true and it's not your fault, and I'm sure you're probably a very nice person, but I'm very good at assigning undeserved blame.

[can_has_vodka]

I'd rather you told me anyway. If you ask me the hard questions I can at least answer them and give us both some peace of mind. It's all right to be a bit grumbly and suspicious of me. You don't know me yet.

Ultimately it's not about you or I, it's about Mozenrath, and what's best for him. I have things to teach him just as you do, and there isn't going to necessarily be a lot of overlap. I'm not a magus. I can help him wield his power--and live--with focus, emotional balance and presence of mind, but the actual mechanics and society of magic? That's yours. I can hardly take credit for his accomplishments thus far, and I wouldn't.

And for the record, I'm not reaping any personal benefit from any of this anyway. My Wish is for all of Britain.

I don't intend to abandon him or this place. It's all too important. Besides, someone around here has to loosen the collective pole this place has up its arse.

[emptyyourself]

I'm beginning to like and approve of you, and as Mozenrath has told me he likes you, I've decided you'll do admirably.

However, I won't treat you amicably because I'm not always a very nice person.

[thegooddrjones]

If you like, I will make you tea and we can put some dittany on it. It makes me feel useful to help like this, and I'm concerned for you.

[mightymorbid]

I would like that, but I feel obligated to grumble and complain because I don't want you to think that I like you too much.

[thegooddrjones]

You can grumble and complain all you like. I'm used to it.

[mightymorbid]

Good, because I'm not stopping. Even if you are pregnant. Which you're probably not. But I think it's funny and I'm not sure why.
