[ that is a genuine surprise to roxana, that it was more accidental deaths than murder. it doesn't really fit the pattern, but the two weeks seem to be whatever it may as well happen type of situations.

she reaches up to cup vi's cheek with a gloved hand. ]

Do you think so little of yourself? Do you think it was a failure on your part?

[doublefists]

No.

[ she says, without really thinking about it, but. roxana puts her hand on her cheek, and she kind of just - instantly is very embarrassed, averting her eyes. it brings her back to reality a bit, sobers her up. ]

... No. Sorry, that was a lot to unload on a girl I barely met two days ago.

[disingenuous]

If you have troubles, you can unload them. Where else will they go?

[doublefists]

[ well you see ]

They don't need to go anywhere. I'm a big girl, I can handle myself.

[disingenuous]

[ gently: ]

Your outburst a minute ago says a little differently.

[doublefists]

[ her jaw works. ]

You provoked it out of me. [ okay, pouty, don't be rude. ]

[disingenuous]

[ she removes her hand and lets it drop to her side. ]

You were ready to let it go. I didn't do much.

[doublefists]

[ she misses the hand immediately, which makes her lean back and rub at her nose absently. ]

Maybe it's just that a girl could cross her heart and hope to die to a pretty face like yours.

[ don't flirt your way out of this it will not work ]

[disingenuous]

[ she lets out a small chuckle. ]

I don't think you want that, but you can try redirecting again.

[doublefists]

[ :meowno: why didn't it work

stands here pouting instead ]

Why do you care?

[disingenuous]

Do you want me to not care? You can leave if I make you uncomfortable.

[ she isn't going to force it, but she isn't going to stop herself from pointing what she observes out either. ]

[doublefists]

Nuh uh, don't sidestep me. That's not what I asked you. I asked you why you do, if you do.

[disingenuous]

Why do you need a reason why? Do you have reasons for every time you care?

[doublefists]

[ a pause. ]

... I don't. But I don't know about you. Just don't know what it gets you.

[disingenuous]

I'm not trying to get anything. I'm here, as much as you are. You don't have to question my intentions.

Or you can tell me what you think I'm trying to do other than keep you steady.
