heyyyy Variable
soooo
Eda told me you talked to her
about stuff
laminae: (side glance)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-20 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
uh about October
and me
you know
killing her
laminae: (pout)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-21 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
you know my answer's gonna be 'no'
but i should anyways
laminae: (distant)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-21 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, i hate it

[And he switches over to audio, because it's Varian.]

D'ya know Eda's whole deal? With her monster curse?
laminae: (side glance)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-22 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Text is a whole lot easier when you're self-conscious, or talking about really heavy things like they are right now.]

Right, yeah. The elixir. I kiiind of made a deal with her that if she went all cursed owl monster I'd either get her the elixir to turn her back, or... um. Kill her.
laminae: (spiderinfluence)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-22 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's what Eda had said. She had done her best to reassure him using the same logic - she had even asked him if she had killed any people before he got to her. It hadn't helped very much, honestly.

He's growing more sullen as he responds.]


She was totally fine with it. She thinks I did good.

[The tone of his voice screams that he didn't, though.]

I've killed loads of stuff before. That isn't the problem. [Well, it's a different kind of problem than what they're talking about.] What the problem is I didn't even try to find an elixir for her. I just reacted. All I did was attack her.
laminae: (spiderinfluence)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-24 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fern is just quiet. Yeah, he screwed up badly. He didn't react like a normal person, he reacted like a... well, like a monster.]

I... guess that's all I can do, huh?

[Try to be better next time. He doesn't like it, of course, he wants to be able to go back and fix his screw-up, even though he knows that isn't possible. Nope, his best option is to trust Varian on this, and make sure he's prepared the for the future.]

I want to hope there isn't a next time, but that'd just be naive with how this place is. How far along are you with the elixir?
laminae: (hrm)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-27 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I got a mountain to climb, in other words.

[Forgiving himself feels like he's going to be climbing an endless mountain, anyways.]

That's good to hear. Um - [Here we go, Fern, be productive.] - I want a bottle of it once you're sure it's, uh... stable? Is that what it needs to be?

[Man, he doesn't know alchemy.]

It seems like it'd be a good idea for me to have on hand. For next time.
laminae: (contemplate)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-28 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, and I hate it. Being patient on top of everything else just makes it a million times harder.

[But it's worth it, he just needs to keep telling himself that, regardless of his doubts. At least Varian is here, not being alone in dealing with this kind of thing helps.]

Thanks. I figure it's the least I can do for her.
laminae: (greener)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-29 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's gotta be it. Otherwise regular people wouldn't do it, let alone people like us.

[Y'know, the insecure, self-loathing kind of people.

At any rate, what Varian says next has Fern hideously embarrassed.]


Uh, geez. It's not a big deal, you don't gotta be proud or anything.
laminae: (awkward)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-11-30 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! They wouldn't waste their time on it,Β they'd wanna be productive.

[That seems like a reasonable assumption to make, at least.

Ohhh, this is a lot. He doesn't deserve this praise.]


I don't know. A smart person would've thought of this from the get-go.
laminae: (nnnnope)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-12-01 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Petting puppies sounds like something they'd do. Finn would pet Jake, sometimes. And his nieces and nephews.

[That should be more than enough evidence.]

Well, you probably would've thought of some other genius way to help her. Like you do for practically everything.
laminae: (chatter)

[personal profile] laminae 2020-12-01 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Might as well.

[Oh, yeesh. He can hear the embarrassment in Varian's voice. Maybe he shouldn't have said that? He isn't sure what to do here, so... he's just going to double down.]

Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn't make you any less of a genius, which means all your ideas are all gonna be genius ones, even if they don't always work.
