I'm not going to go around calling you a lord. [she leans out over the rocks, about as far as she can go without toppling over.] Anyway, you don't have to beat up anybody for me. I can beat up my enemies myself. But I like that you offered.
[ ): the only one who ever indulged him in calling him anything similar was Sigrun with her "little general" but now she's gone and he's back to being "twerp" ]
I know you're more than capable. But sometimes, even when you can, there's reasons that you won't or don't want to. [ gestures at the scare she gave them all during Argalia's execution ] I'll be there for you in those cases. You just have to call my name.
[immediately and without hesitation scowls at him]
I mean it. Do whatever nonsense you want, I don't care, but if you get screwed up or over because of me I'm gonna yell at you until your ears fall off.
[her thoughts are disjointed normally, so it's just a couple of little thought bubbles of stupid and should have looked harder and he shouldn't have had to]
I haven't given up finding Reigen's killer. I've been talking to Temenos about it.
[ He would've lied to protect Ace too, would've thrown anybody else under the bus regardless of whether they've means to be part of Reigen's case. unfortunately, that person to him was Danny ]
Same stuff he probably laughs at when it's you. [she nudges him.] He's gotten on me about picking fights with Tiger, but I'm justified so he can suck it.

I think that's just what he does to people shorter than him. [but she quits!] I don't treat you like a little kid, because you're not one.

And what if you don't want to?
no subject
Even if I don't want to. I'll do what I have to do, to keep you safe.
no subject
... Really? [...] Don't get yourself in trouble for me, though.
no subject
he just smiles ]

no subject
I'll be careful, Nimona. I won't get caught.
no subject
That's what I asked Ace. To not get caught. [and we all know how that went]
no subject
... For your sake, or just in general?
no subject
There's not really a difference. But he said he was never going to let anybody innocent take the fall for him. [he's a better person than she is!]
no subject
[ nimona... ]
...he really was going to confess, wasn't he?
no subject
[her thoughts are disjointed normally, so it's just a couple of little thought bubbles of stupid and should have looked harder and he shouldn't have had to]
... I would've lied for him if he'd have let me.
no subject

no subject
Yeah. Me too. And Nico. [...] I don't have any ideas. The only person I thought it could've been was Danny, but if I accused him and was wrong, it...
[sigh.]
Did you guys come up with anything?
no subject
We're still discussing it. [ aka still threading it ]
He called me out for not liking Danny.
no subject
[makes a nyeh face]
no subject
[ because his grudge is ridiculous and unfounded? yes ]
no subject
I trip him when he laughs at me. [this sounds mean but she loves temenos and her love comes through bullying.]
no subject
[ Nimona's perfect, how dare Temenos laugh at her, he's going to fight a priest the next time he sees him ]
no subject
Same stuff he probably laughs at when it's you. [she nudges him.] He's gotten on me about picking fights with Tiger, but I'm justified so he can suck it.
