Busted lip. Does anyone know any spells for that particular affliction? I would like it to be gone entirely. I have...fifteen minutes, give or take.

Well, I'm okay...what if I had decided to stay the night?

Action

... Dunno.

Steven has places to be in the morning, it wasn't a good idea.

[He knocks back the last of his coffee and stands up, unsure of what to do now. He kind of feels like he wants to give her a hug, but he holds back, shifting awkwardly on his feet instead.]

Alright. Well... g'night.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Oh, I...probably wasn't going to sleep for a while. [Awkward noted. She's bracing herself for whatever it is that he needs to get out.] Is something the matter?

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Nothing.

... Glad you're safe.

You could stand to have a bit more faith in me. I told you I could be.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

I know, I just... [He pats her on the shoulder instead.]

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

[Oww oww that's a bruise. Lili winces.] Don't believe me?

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

[... Curious.

Of course his natural reaction is to pat her again.]

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

[She takes a step back after the second one.] Stop that.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Why.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Well, unless you have a reason to pat my shoulder for an extended period of time...

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You flinched.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I didn't flinch.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You did. You're lying to me.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

More of a...wince, really.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You said you weren't gonna fight him!

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I said I wasn't planning on it. It just happened.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

I told you to be careful.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Yes, well. I don't have to do everything that you tell me to. Besides, I tried.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You obviously didn't try very hard!

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I...I did. [But Alfred, if you saw his scars--actually, that will only make it worse. Not going to say that.] But then I figured, why feel like I'm stagnating if I could feel wonderful instead?

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Getting beat up feels wonderful to you? [He reaches out to touch her arm again.] You could really get hurt! And you can't just run over to the hospital wing and get fixed up anymore.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

[Her arms aren't so bad, so she doesn't flinch away from him, just glares.] I didn't get beat up. I wasn't mugged or abused, two adults came together and decided that it would be nice to fight each other.
