[Weirdly tense, but don’t worry about it - it probably has something to do with all the people flinching away or with residual adrenaline, both things she should be used to.]

All this time… it’s not like he’s been possessing you, right?

[bloodweapon]

Thankfully not. Though I can see how that would be a valid concern.

[moonshaded]

[Well, that does seem to be a relief, anyway. She rolls her shoulders. She’s long since stopped looking at the people gathered around.]

He can’t exist without you, though, is that what you’re getting at? The real you, anyway. Or maybe he can now.

[Just killing someone’s Shadow hasn’t exactly been the right choice, ever - which is unfortunate for someone who cuts through obstacles the way she does. But this one seems like it might be especially fucky.]

[bloodweapon]

That's correct. At least, that's my understanding of it.

[And thus Fray's. Probably.]

I was hoping you all would see reason and turn around; leave this place and him behind and focus on taking out the God of Conflict. But it would seem that the others are intent on dragging him back with them.

[The unasked question here is do you feel the same?]

[moonshaded]

[Kainé shrugs, just slightly.]

Dunno. I'm just here to help 'em out. If you had more than mealy-mouthed wheedling bullshit for a reason, maybe they'd listen.

[They would not, but someone has to point out that hasn't really given any kind of logically persuasive argument in the first place.]

Why should they?

[bloodweapon]

[Wow rude,,,]

Then I trust you'll have their backs now that they've made their decision.

[Looks like it's time for a fight, after all.]

[bro you didn't even try to explain your logic to her!! what is she supposed to do with that!!]
