[ well. this is about what he expected. ]

... Did you eat anything today?

I think so.

[ wow, even her voice sounds terrible. ]

Alright then, that's a no.

[ he's just immediately going to the kitchen. give him like... twenty minutes? something like that. maybe stare into that soda a little longer. ]

[ oh she will, she's just gonna zone out, it's fine. ]

[ alright well he comes back with some kind of cream stew looking thing in two bowls and drops one in front of beau and one in front of himself. delicious. ]

Starving yourself won't change anything.

[ it does look good... ]

I'm not hungry. [ it looks good but the idea of eating makes her stomach turn. ] I'm not starving myself, I just.

You just.

[ yes he's going to expect an answer, beau. use your words. ]

I'm not hungry. [ she says a little helplessly. ]

I feel like I'm going to throw it all back up if I do eat.

[ i like that we now have to add mess hall gate context to this. ]

... [ he shrugs. ] You gotta have something at some point.

[ but he'll move the bowl away for the moment, although he doesn't stop eating his own. ]

[ god right ]

I... I will. Eventually. [ she puts the soda can down and pulls her knees to her chest. ] Thank you. For the food.

S'fine. I've been cooking enough here and there. Someone'll raid the fridge for it later.

[ let's rip this band aid off then. ]

Less ready to throw punches now?

[ she swallows hard. ]

Yeah. It wouldn't have done any good to punch him, anyway.

Nah. It wouldn't have. He's as allowed to be pissed as you were.

[ which is... y'know. not wrong. ]

I know.

[ she pulls her knees closer. ] It's okay. I can be the bad guy, if he needs one.

[ .... arrrrgggh. ash stops eating long enough to look at her, and then run a had agitatedly through his hair. ]

I'm pissed that if that was his power he used Akira as a damn guinea pig for it. And the implications afterwards aren't great. So I get why he's mad.

But like you said, we don't know what Huaisang did or why, so it's not that clear cut.

[ ... he's reluctant to say more, really. beau's not stupid, she knows he's not a fan of NHS. ]

... I'm not happy he killed someone either.

[ she swallows hard. ] I get why he's mad, but Huaisang wouldn't have left me if he didn't have a reason.

Did he tell you what happened and why?

[ there's a pause, before he adds: ] I'm not askin' you to tell me. Just whether he did or not.

[ she nods. that's all. ]

[ welp. there's that then. and he he still can't tell if the whole... wrecked thing is over losing him, finding out he was defending himself and losing him, or losing him after finding out he did knowingly go out and kill someone. ]

... Alright.

[ ... ]

If I asked you your power and team would you tell me? [ he makes a motion, pointing at her then him. ] Not for free, I'll do the same.

[ it is a mystery!!! ]

Yeah. If you want.

[ it is a mystery. also not his place to dig, and he said he wouldn't so there's that. ]

Sure.

Blue team. Power's super strength and resilence for a short amount of time.

Grey team. I can summon a monster that scares people so bad it stuns them.

[ he's thinking at the names pretty hard. ]

... Ehh. Apparently those titles are all films or something, but I don't know shit about any of them so I can't make a guess. If they are films or not.

[ oh right. ] White Witch. To round all that off properly.

[ she sighs. ]

Babadook. [ i actually had to make sure i was spelling it correctly because i've been calling it the beaubadook ] They're all apparently films, yeah.

[ when will they get to watch the babadook. beaubadook. ]

...

Where'd they come up with this crap. [ is shadows a horror movie fan?? ]
