It was fine. I am used to handling pain.

[faithkept]

Even if you're used to it, you shouldn't have to endure it when it isn't necessary to...

[Says local man who murdered.]

[rippled]

Perhaps not. But if I am moving around, people tend to worry less.

[faithkept]

[LOOKING DISBELIEVING.]

Wouldn't people worry more to see you moving around while injured?

[Maybe that is just the nature of the busybody.]

[rippled]

Not at all! People tended to just assume everything was fine. It's pretty easy.

[ they just have a high pain tolerance so it worked out in their favor. ]

[faithkept]

[Gazing at them........ It's like Yves, but on purpose.]

I should have been more insistent on keeping watch while you were in the hospital.

[rippled]

Hehe, it's okay. It did work out in the end and I am fine.

[faithkept]

As long as you aren't taken a third time, yes...

[rippled]

Do not worry! They cannot catch me.

[ that's not how cyoas work ]

[faithkept]

So you're going to outrun being kidnapped?

[WELL. LIKE. ...WELL.]

[rippled]

[ they nod, determined. ]

[faithkept]

I should like to have your confidence, I think.

[rippled]

It's fairly simple. Just be really talented, Lucas.

[faithkept]

[THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY it just startles a laugh out of him.]

Ah, well, I don't think I'll ever be quite as talented as you, so I suppose I'll have to resign myself to a future of being kidnapped.

[No he's not Yves' route Lucas he'll be fine.]

[rippled]

If you are, I will be here to make sure you are taken to the hospital.

[ okay. ]

[faithkept]

Will you stay with me to make sure that I don't escape?

[rippled]

I... guess I will...?

[faithkept]

I will escape regardless.

[rippled]

And yet you say you need more confidence...

[faithkept]

I could use a bit more, I think. I feel like I still have some catching up to do.

[rippled]

Well, no one is perfect. I'm not.

[ saber is saying this as if this is lucas' only fault, and not being a mass murderer ]

[faithkept]

[HELP MEEEEEE SABER THE MASS MURDERING SABER

With some faux-consideration:]

Hm... I do suppose you have a point. None of us would be here if we were.

[rippled]

Exactly, we would have skipped this entire process.

[faithkept]

Were we perfect, I wonder if we would have simply ascended to Godhood.

[rippled]

I think people have reached that for less than perfection.
