What's going on?

[She may or may not have won a piece of candy off him, and he is looking pretty banged-up and possibly also embarrassed, but no hard feelings. This sounds like serious business.]

[He bends a little so that he's on her level.]

It'll work. I've seen it a bunch of times. It happened to me. It always works. He'll be back tomorrow.

[He looks at his shoes for a moment, and sighs.]

That doesn't mean you shouldn't be upset. It doesn't mean it's not sad, or scary.

[turn4bout]

It's just stupid. Really, really stupid.

[ Now she's biting her lip. It's that whole "oh god dont you dare start crying again fuck fuck fuck" expression. ]

I gotta get justice.

[kindly_done]

[Okay. Keep her talking.]

Right. So how does that work?

action;

[turn4bout]

I, um...

[ DEEP BREATHS. DEEP BREATHS. NOT CRYING. ]

I've got a suspect. I just need to track him down and put him to trial.

[He keeps his eyes on her, willing her to take some comfort in his steadiness; who knows? Maybe she can feel his gaze. He wouldn't mind if she cried, but she clearly has already and doesn't want to anymore.]

Who?

action;

[turn4bout]

The marshmallow guy. He's got a history of violence and Karkat was speaking to him before I found him.

[ She is calming down. Talking about justice steadies her. ]

The...marshmallow guy?

[turn4bout]

Can't describe what he looks like, now can I?

[ She grins. It's a little weak, but she's getting her edge back. ]

action;

[kindly_done]

I guess not, but I can't smell the same way. How about what he sounds like?

action;

[turn4bout]

Childish, lazy. Reckless. Blood drips from his words, but it's not his. Confident.

action;

[kindly_done]

Sounds like a piece of work.

[By Jack's reckoning, sounds a bit like Hibari. He takes a moment to think about this.]

action;

[turn4bout]

That's why I've got to take care of him.

action;

[kindly_done]

Maybe you should have backup. If he could take Karkat down...

action;

[turn4bout]

...

[ He took Karkat down. Karkat.

He's strong. ]

I won't face him head on. I have to plan.

[ She pulls her glasses off to chew at the red thoughtfully. ]

action;

[kindly_done]

I could come with you.
