[ there's definitely a pause when jolyne joins him in fighting trees, like he's about to stop or leave, but when it's clear she just also does it he goes along with destroying this sad tree until she's falling down.
there's blood on his hands and he doesn't care but he stops then, too ]
Two. They really got two fucking idiots to go along with this shit.
[ if anything the rhythmic beating of the tree is somewhat soothing to dissociate to. when he talks, she slowly props herself up on her elbows. ]
Was really hoping we were fucking done with following their rules. People are taking this shit seriouslyโit's just gonna encourage the ones running the show.
[ he's like. snarling when she talks about it encouraging the show, looking ready to murder someone or a tree again. but at the mention of his hands he looks at them a little passively, flexing. his knuckles are Real Fucked Up but he doesn't seem to be feeling it ]
It's fine. I've had worse. [ what a normal non-crazy thing to say. ] I'm not any good at this solving stuff, and I hate going along with their stupid show, but I need to know who did it.
[ she feels about as angry as the snarl sounds. and honestly that's totally a normal non-crazy thing to say. still, she looks at them too, her brows drawn. ]
I know. It's like damned if we do damned if we don't. Someone dies, we have to do it all over again.
And this time there's no denying itโthe fact that it was one of us...[ she just sits up slowly and covers her face with her hands, grabbing her bangs between her knuckles. ] Fuck, fuck, fuck...
[ it makes him seethe, a little, but he looks at jolyne and ends up crouched next to her. he doesn't offer any comfort physically, too tense and angry still, but it felt weird to stand over her while she did this. ]
One of us, or two of us. There's no getting around that they saw what happened last weekend and went ahead with this.
