[ good? he wants her to feel as fucked up about it as he does right now instead of convincing herself to go further and further into this "only I can solve this problem" pit, deciding that he's too soft or naive to understand.

Reaching over to squeeze her arm, now just laying there looking vaguely angry in the way you can only get at people you actually care about.]

[sniffling but trying very hard not to.]

I don't - why can't you conceive that I want you hurt as little as you want it for me?

[headmt]

I do believe that. That's why I'm reminding you.

[ he doesn't sound not choked up. ]

[outsidebones]

You are making this worse for me, not better.

[she sounds tired and bitter.]

[headmt]

Is that so?

[outsidebones]

Yes, it is so.

[scowling, hurt, her face like a little baby.]

[headmt]

Well, my goal isn't exactly to make it easier or better for you. Don't know that I can do anything about that. It's to get you home.

[ patting her gently. ]

[outsidebones]

My House, Mollymauk.

[headmt]

Of which I am technically a part of, therefore, don't I get an opinion?

[outsidebones]

Even if you were, you don't. That isn't how it works. I am in charge.

[headmt]

Oh but you aren't. You really aren't.

[ Look things got very emotional there but now she's sulking and declaring she is the boss, so, his tone is way more teasing now. ]

[outsidebones]

In my House, Mollymauk.

[ugh. she massages her eyes, smearing her makeup.]

[headmt]

I know. But ... we figured it out before. We'll figure it out again.

[outsidebones]

I do not have the luxury of your certainty.
