[Can't do much once he's in the air and falling but take the blow. He's thrown down into the lake with a splash, and only rises so quickly to get his head out. Staggering a moment but determined to act unfazed, he falls into a ready stance again. Trying to compose himself.]

Then don't ever say I didn't try to extend an olive branch.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

[ pauses.

and he just stares. ]

This is your way of "extending an olive branch"?

[ he actually brings a hand up for the air quotes on that. ]

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

What, of course it is, I asked you how you actually felt!

[He made accusations and made no move to actually ask about feelings. But. sure.]

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

You just went off assumin' a bunch of shit about me!

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

I gave you the opportunity to defend yourself!

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

So I told you the truth!

[ who needs more than "I don't hate you and I don't want you dead" ]

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

Right, so it's settled.

[He sure doesn't know! Not like he's got all kinds of conflicting feelings that have not been helped at all by that! It's fine. They worked it out.]

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

[ great talk all around! ]

... Is that what this was about?

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

[He just. presses his lips together. He can't stand being called out like this. So he'll just refuse to answer.]

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

[ he can't really argue it's not an effective way to get him to talk

but!! ]

You think me gettin' stabbed makes me more honest or what?

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

[He huffs, straightening up since neither of them are making a move apparently.]

I thought fighting would be fun. And either you would give me a reason to not want to kill you so much, or I could have momentary satisfaction.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

[ he will also just stand there bleeding. though his half-demon healing is kicking in, helping with some of that. ]

Well you're right about the first part of that.

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

Don't worry, I know the latter is too.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

What? You're satisfied?

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

Not at all. It hinges on seeing you dead.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

[ hefts his sword back up over his shoulder ]

You wanna get right back to tryin' to kill me, then?

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

[He places his hand on the hilt again, just in case. But Lahabrea is watching them after all and the point of telling him to stay was to know he can't get away with not making an effort to follow through...]

...You know I'm serious, don't you? I'd like nothing more than to end your life.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

Okay, so let's turn this whole interrogation around!

Why? What did I do to you?

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

...You tell me. I haven't even seen it. You just exist, favoured, a fool and yet defeating me, I don't even know how many times.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

Right -- you haven't seen most of that yet. Buuut you already hate my guts.

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

[He actually considers that for a moment.]

I don't hate you, I just want to kill you.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

Hey, look! Progress!

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

[WELL NOW HE DOESN'T WANT TO KEEP GOING!!]

Shut up. I don't have to remember everything to know the feeling. That's nothing new.

Re: 250

[devilmightcare]

And you really think killing me here's gonna help with that?

Re: 250

[auguryofinnocence]

...Probably...not...

[He never said it was rational.]
