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.

[... Curious.

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

Action

[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.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

How bad are you hurt?

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I'm not.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Stop lying!

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I can walk and talk and breathe well enough, I'm not hurt.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Lili.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

What do you want me to tell you? That I'm sorry?

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

I want to be able to trust you.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

[Interesting. How interesting that was shouldn't have been the first thing to come to mind, she is well aware, but when exactly did the tables turn? Lili used to be the one saying that very thing. When that was the case, she was terrified of both outcomes. Is he scared, too?

Lili averts her eyes, and walks around him, to take a seat on the couch.]

You can trust me. That had nothing to do with you, I don't see why it's relevant.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You said you wouldn't fight with him. You told me you'd stay safe. You lied about what happened and you're still lying to me about how bad it is.
