[there's just a laugh at that as he says far too honestly]
Are you saying that I'm not looking after you enough already? I suppose I can try harder.
[oh the sincerity
but he pauses at that]
Ah, no. I knew I would be fine. Hak was just protective anyway. [which was baby's first doki in the world] I'm normally not worried after my own safety.
He's not accepting payment... but I'd like to compensate him after all this.
[someone just
offered to protect soo-won without seeking anything in return and i don't know how it happened how does he have this power]
But ah - I don't think there's a reason for me to need him during daylight hours. I only need his assistance on Thursdays and perhaps Saturdays really.
[CONTINUES ON OBLIVIOUSLY BEFORE YOU FUCKING BREAK HIM WITH YOUR LEWDS]
You make it sound like I'm actively looking for them....
Zuko seems like he'd be an effective attendant. [IT'S THE HAK VIBES] Rufus, if you want to pay him. Jeanne... though I'd hate to see her volunteering to be in harm's way, even if she'd be willing.
[ it is 100% because of soo-won that jeanne is jeanne and not meat shield. ]
That's what I'm hoping for. [ she sighs. ] I'm going to fuckin' bed early on Friday night. I'm going to need more energy for the circus show on Saturday if this happens again.
If there aren't doors, what happens? I would like to discern whether we are forced to remain in certain locations if we are outside. Those in the forest last week seemed to be in situations where they did not even notice that anything was wrong, so I would like to see if barriers are pulled up.
In addition, I would like to see if we can make contact with one another during that hour. People said that they yelled in their rooms, but none could hear them. Is that the same if I were to say, tap on the door of the planetarium from the outside?
What is the purpose of us being awake for an hour instead of us all being unconscious immediately? I would like to clarify that point.
no subject
[he doesn't know what that means but.... he can't help but think that the take sounds familiar. to have someone stand up for you against a bully....]
.... you and Hak would get along.
no subject
Isn't that the dude your plushie was based on?
no subject
He protected me from - well, I wouldn't call them bullies. Maybe just some bored men who drank too much in the middle of the day.
[a brief little laugh]
But... he did protect me, when we were young, even though I thought that I didn't need it. It was nice... to feel looked after.
no subject
[ she says this in a way that makes it sound like she's definitely joking. poor taako getting roasted. ]
Was that your scared moment?
no subject

no subject
[ she makes such a face at him at the sincerity, but. ]
Not normally, huh. I hope that changed here. [ :T ]
no subject
[are you prepared for this lup
but that seems to remind him of something - ]
Oh! Hansa volunteered to be my bodyguard!
no subject
Did he? [ she looks amused by this ] What is he charging you for it?
[ ....... also: ] Kind of a shitty bodyguard so far. [ seeing as soo-won is just here, without hansa ]
no subject
[someone just
offered to protect soo-won without seeking anything in return and i don't know how it happened how does he have this power]
But ah - I don't think there's a reason for me to need him during daylight hours. I only need his assistance on Thursdays and perhaps Saturdays really.
[let soo-won get midtrialed]
no subject
You say that like people are just going to politely wait until Thursday to murder. [ :T!!! ]
no subject
[bc we'd all die if trial was on a wednesday
but he'll glance to her and offer a smile]
It's alright. Nothing will happen to me. Shouldn't we work on assigning a bodyguard to you?
no subject
It better not. Anyway. I'm pretty sure I've got one, if I ask. [ she says, with a shrug. ]
no subject
[don't just ask point blank]
no subject
He's built like a brick shithouse, and I made him dinner. He will do anything I say.
no subject
He's very kind! He showed me how to make dumplings myself instead of simply hoping to get street food....
I'm glad you get along.
no subject
Yeah, we sure do. He's very nice. Very considerate. [ ANYWAY ] If you had other suggestions, though, I'm all ears.
no subject
You make it sound like I'm actively looking for them....
Zuko seems like he'd be an effective attendant. [IT'S THE HAK VIBES] Rufus, if you want to pay him. Jeanne... though I'd hate to see her volunteering to be in harm's way, even if she'd be willing.
[he's a little soft on her]
no subject
I would rather be stabbed than pay Rufus to follow me around all day. [ she says dryly. ] Zuko's fine. He's a good kid.
I don't particularly wanna see Jeanne yeet herself into danger either if you don't.
no subject
but he manages a softer smile at that - he notices that she's not being called Meat Shield anymore....]
... then it seems like you've found your choice.
Hopefully nothing makes it required.
no subject
That's what I'm hoping for. [ she sighs. ] I'm going to fuckin' bed early on Friday night. I'm going to need more energy for the circus show on Saturday if this happens again.
no subject
[and what isn't a good idea - ]
I'll be outside on Thursday night to test a hypothesis. Do you know where you'll be staying?
no subject

[that's it, that's the hypothesis]
no subject
[ so that's valid. it's a valid experiment. still. ]
Look, I won't stop you from doing science, but. Make sure you take more than just Hansa with you.
