Guess so. [she pauses, and then:] I was fighting a dragon, and something else. Dragon got me pretty fucking bad, but it was uh, more the other thing that kicked my ass.
[ Look at Beau being bold. Otome quietly beams at her, but can't really let herself be one-upped by this, so just lifts her hand up to kiss the backs of her fingers. ]
Of course. I've never had anyone make my eyes bleed, but I guess I've had equally unpleasant things happen. It... sticks with you, a little.
My world has been reset twice, to try and restore it before we were attacked. After the first time it was reset, I was, ah. We were fighting a creature hellbent on eradicating humanity and we didn't stand a chance. I was killed, along with everyone else.
[ From the way her voice gets a little quieter, it wasn't a peaceful death. ]
But! Because the world was reset after that, it didn't technically happen. It took me a while to even remember it had happened at all-- that it wasn't just a nightmare.

I-- I really only heard him [ monologue dramatically ] once but... you know, I would believe that.

Then slowly scoots her chair closer to reach for Beau's hand and with the soft little voice-- ]
I'm sorry that you had to endure an asshole like that.
[ She says it just for Beau, let's be honest. ]
But I'm glad you're all right now.
no subject
Yeah. I can handle it, especially if I've got my friends with me. [she holds otome's hand, and just kind of boldly leans over to kiss her cheek.]
... Thanks.

no subject
... Yeah. It does. [...] I'm sorry you've gone through equally shitty stuff.

[ The flush makes everything better. ]
I was technically revived, so I can't complain.
no subject
wow i know nothing about my kind of girlfriend's entire homeworld]
Technically revived?
no subject
Ah, well. I mean.
[ She pauses, to figure out how to word this. ]

... That's fucked up, babe. [she says, quietly, squeezing otome's hand.] ... Are you still fighting the creature?
[:(]
no subject
Now we're fighting its boss.
no subject
That's practically, uh, video game logic. [it's also d&d logic but beau has played a LOT of video games here.]

no subject
... Are you gonna be okay? When you go back?
no subject
Losing isn't an option.
no subject
Nah. Nah, I guess it wouldn't be for you, huh. [very, very affectionate.] I wish I could offer to help, but I can't leave Caleb and Molly alone.
no subject
[ She just gets the feeling. ]
