W- [ Genuinely shocked, she takes a few seconds to recompose herself. Okay so not every mission debriefing can be a smash success, got it. ] Well, it's. Good information for us to know, dontcha think...?
Uh-huh. And you decided the best way to disseminate this crucial batter information was through your game, because you're sneaky, and it's obfuscation from the royals.
I get that you're a night owl, and this doesn't hinder you too much, but is there a way for you to break this, or are you just living with it for the rest of [vague hand motion] whenever?
Well... [ Her antennae straighten, sticking right up out of the top of her head for once. Her lion tail twitches back and forth. She ruffles her wings with a little frown. ] As long as you don't grow a beak and start trying to eat me, I don't think being a moth sphinx thing is so bad.
I kinda don't want my own deal to stick around forever, but it beats the alternative. [He holds up a hand.] This isn't me getting on your case for making a deal at all, cuz I'd be a hypocrite. I just feel like if you're going to, it better be for a damn good reason.
[ Sweats in "Has been asking for video games and shit (and the occasional actual smart decision) from deals." ]
Um. Yeah, totally. [ She says quickly, trying to hide that she's been doing all this for less than damn good reasons. ] You're right. I am definitely only using it for super important stuff that I think will help us. All of us.
I'll be careful. [ She promises, but she's also a teenager and doesn't understand what that word means. ] Don't worry so much. I do know how to take care of myself, you know.
Look, I know better than to trust a kid at their word to take care of themselves when they've demonstrated the actual opposite of that. You're lucky I don't have to tell you when to eat. Most of the time.
Pretty sure being upset and archery-ing your feelings out is working up an appetite. C'mon inside and we'll get you some grub. You might think a little better, if I'm lucky.
Yeah, okay. Fine. [ She's gotta put up some kind of little fight! Even though she's also prancing up to the target and pulling her arrows out of it (and all the ones she's been missing) and sticking them back in her quiver. She spins on her heel - nearly falling - when she turns back around. ] Let's go get some food.
