[ ....

he's just gonna come on in for the Hug now. scared sqx is not a good look, and he's not a fan.

and then he pinches her side. ]

And now you're just literally admitting you don't listen to me. Thanks.

[shiftingwinds]

[well

she leans into the hug, but is IMMEDIATELY pouting at the pinch]

It's not like I always don't listen to you. Just, sometimes! I have to make up my own mind about things too, you know, I can't always just follow what other people say...

[aubins]

[ the pinch was earned ]

So argue back. The best plans come about when someone's pushing back against someone else. You're never gonna see your own flaws, otherwise.

[shiftingwinds]

[


huffs.]

I guess that's true. I didn't realize the biting thing was a bad idea until you guys pushed back about it.

[aubins]

Yeah. Like that.

[ a little pinch again. ]

You'd just been touching a corpse, after all. And, y'know. Asking someone to injure you isn't really the best idea.

[shiftingwinds]

[she thwaps at his hand when he pinches her. like, very lightly. almost playfully?]

...I'd just washed my hands! And I jut thought it would be the most accurate way to compare it, if it was on a hand instead of something else... I get that it wasn't now, though.

[aubins]

See? We learned something. It is better to get a mold or something though, it sounds like. If you want a clear picture of things.

[shiftingwinds]

I wonder if we might be able to find something to make molds during the week...?

[aubins]

We could ask? Although hopefully people won't bite each other in spite just before curfew in the future. [ gojou ]

[shiftingwinds]

If someone ever tries to murder me, I'm definitely biting them. It could be good for figuring out who people fought back against.

[aubins]

In situations that aren't ending in murder, Shi. If someone's trying to kill you, bite them all you want. But try not to let them get that close.

[shiftingwinds]

...right. I'd run and hide.

[...]

I'm better at doing that than the execution made it look.

[aubins]

The execution was a pretty unique situation. Just... let's try and avoid that kind of situation at all.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods]

I definitely can't let myself die. It would upset Aoi.

[ma'am]

[aubins]

[ ma'am your curse. ]

It'd upset a number of us. Me? Ming Yi? Like half the other people in this place?

[shiftingwinds]

[


she looks sort of touched, but then she also just looks. worried? aaaa.]

...she was crying, before, because she was so afraid she'd lose someone else.

[aubins]

[ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sqx your secrets. ]

So we'll keep an eye on her. We can't guarantee she won't lose anyone else, that's impossible. And irresponsible. But we can make sure she still has people around her, so she's not left alone.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods, but she still looks worried]

[aubins]

Not much else we can do, Shi. Other than keep up the pattern of digging for information.

[shiftingwinds]

I know, I know...

[she sighs]

That and... try to indulge enough to get out of here sooner rather than later, I suppose.

[aubins]

That too.

So no being shy and fanning yourself like a school girl after you've got on with some serious indulging, right? Own it.

[shiftingwinds]

[


YURI WHY]

[aubins]

[



OWN


IT ]

[shiftingwinds]

I-I'll be indulging, but the details really aren't anyone's business but mine! As long as no one tries to discuss it, it will be fine!

[aubins]

Just as long as you're having fun, and not just doing it because you feel like you have to.
