I got tired. I kinda am, still. [...] But then I showed up here and everybody kind of just, like, didn't care about the things that made me tired. So. Maybe I have reasons again.
[i'm gonna squish his cheeks that's the response i had to reading this tag]
You're not going to explain it to me and that's fine, I don't expect you to. I don't even really think you'll believe me because you're the stubbornest little dude I've ever met in my life, but I don't believe for a second that you're bound in a way that I can't help you with.
[a pause.]
I'm alive. For right now, that's what I want, too.

[she glances at him, finally.]
You don't have to be a hero. It's got a lot of stuff attached to it that you probably don't want. But you can be free to be whoever you want.
no subject
yeah, there's no way he can be a hero, even if he tried. he has tried. ]
...thanks, but I'll always be bound, one way or another. But Nimona, you're alive! I really want to keep it that way.

And you're the stubbornest little Nimona I've ever met. If you really want to help me, then do your best to stay alive, at all costs.
[ stay safe, stay alive, don't leave him alone, that's how you can help him ]
no subject
... Yeah. Okay. I can do that. [she's a little less feral, after all this.] I'll stick with you.
