They're YOUR memories. I don't decide what you do with them.

...
You know what I think?

I really should have just given in and tried to light you on fire. You had far too much energy to spare. Would have worked a little of it off.

[ he resists the urge to laugh this time, but his lips still quirk ]

Why didn't you?

[finalbows]

Because if I started, I did not trust I was going to stop.

[catposting]

And would that have upset you? Not being able to stop?

[finalbows]

Remember how you and I are only still sitting here at all because I was chased to the beginning of time by my replacement model...?

[catposting]

[ he huffs ]

For the record, I wouldn't have minded if you had tried to light me on fire, especially in retaliation. But I'm glad you didn't.

And I'm sorry.

this icon but not bleeding

[catposting]

[ he's gone for ten seconds at most. when he reappears, he's still on fire, clothes already burnt to a crisp -- though he's keeping a defensive Shinsu layer next to his skin, he's not stupid. even with his head feeling like it's splitting apart, he could easily summon a stormcloud; or even better, just teleport himself into the ocean.


he doesn't. ]

Re: this icon but not bleeding

[finalbows]

Tell me to dowse the flames.

[catposting]

...

Why?

[finalbows]

We're a clever kitty. I doubt I really need to, if you really put your mind to it.

Now. Tell me. To do it.

[catposting]

Is that an order?

[finalbows]

It's a strong suggestion ♡.

[catposting]

Look me in the eye and tell me that it'll make you happy.

Then I'll do it.

[finalbows]

No, cat. We're not doing your way today. We already did that a month ago.

Now tell me to dowse the fire, so we can both end this farce. Unless the true charade was that lame-legged apology?

[catposting]

[ smiles despite himself ]

Not everything has to be a charade. You'd be surprised at how many things aren't.

[finalbows]

And yet he does not burn, beneath the rags! Humors me just enough to keep a look of flames, yet not so much to honor a simple request!

[catposting]

You said that it was a relief to have someone around that could actually put up a fight back.

Has that changed?

[finalbows]

<sub>[ this feels exactly like the first time, in a bizarre way that isn't the way he intended it to be similar. Of course, a month isn't enough time to change someone millenia old. Angel Devil clenches a fist down at his side. It shakes.

What should he have done, the last time? Instead of asking and doing naught else, again and again?

The fire goes out.


He really leaves this time.

Test score: Better luck next time. ☹️ ]</sub>
