[ oh that checks out. he almost laughs, actually, at how wildly perfect brawler is.
theres a surge of pride that beats true in his own resonation, that metallic microphone of all anxiety you claim, filled with the sense that of course vi could manage this. that there'll be nothing to worry about, that - well. maybe she won't have to awaken the same way, with all the trauma that comes with it. or maybe she'll find something different. something better.

but she does like this. she does like feeling like she's part of something. she likes feeling like she could just slot right in, and it'd be okay. no mess. no fuss. just... friends, who won't change for the worst on her, people who want the same things she does. ]
Pretty fucking good, though. This thing would wallop the shit out of a lane runner.
