Have I been handling you delicately? Just because you're traumatized doesn't mean you're in any way fragile. Just means you've been through shit that's affected you badly.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I can go into detail about how I know that's true, if you want, but seriously. I didn't mean to make you feel delicate or fragile or weak or anything like that. I'm sorry that I did.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I did say it's not a get-out-of-brattiness-free card, didn't I? I don't find it excusable, just understandable. You remind me a lot of my boyfriend, you know?
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
...I mean that in a non-creepy way. He just had a lot of similar hang-ups to you, and he was a massive dick for a long time, and knowing why he was that way made it understandable, but not okay.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I don't think anyone is just a dick because that's who they are. There are always reasons and things that have happened to make them that way. You're not any different.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I'll be here to tell you so every time i think you need it. I'll try not to be an annoying mom about it. :P
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
It made me sick for a whole normal day, it was gross. I just wanted to fight like my instincts tell me to, but noooo. And then during the rescue stuff the Khasatsa were all over me. I think they knew.
no subject
Oh my god. As usual, you are too earnest to needle.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I dunno, I just think traumatized is a strong word? ::::/
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Or like something that would happen to someone else, I guess. I mean, I had some pretty traumatic stuff happen to me, sure!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
8ut traumatized in a general sense just feels really different.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Anyway, I'm not actually mad. Sorry I yelled, Elena. I guess I can take "understanda8le, 8ut not okay."
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
8ut don't compare me to your 8oyfriend again. That's weird. D::::
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I don't think you are capa8le of managing 8eing anything 8ut an annoying mom a8out things like this, 8ut that's okay. It's why I like you.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I am certain they did! They were prepared for aerial fighters like me, too, and there aren't that many of us! It was such a pain in the ass.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
The Neraki are pretty smart. I feel like everyone knew that, 8ut we all underestim8ed them anyway.
no subject
It's one of my many talents. :)
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I can understand that. How about we call you a survivor instead? You've seen a lot of shit and come out the other side, technically alive or not. You're a badass.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
It's alright, I figured. You yell a lot anyway, I can take it.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Haha. Okay, I can do that. I realized it was weird after I sent the text and was like "Oh no that sounds so creepy!" I promise you don't remind me of him in any other way.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Hey, I thought I was the cool older sister!
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I think pain in the ass is an understatement, considering what they did to the kidnapped. I can't say I'm looking forward to killing them, exactly, but I'm not going to be sorry to see them go.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Yeah. I expected sentience, but I didn't expect them to be able to fight like this. Especially when everything said they're supposed to be peaceful.
no subject
A survivor? Oh, man. This is like something out of Karkat's dum8 movies. How a8out we just call me "awesome." I think that fits! ::::)
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Hahahaha. Okay, okay, don't worry a8out it. Jeez. You are sort of cute, sometimes.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I never said you were anything! You're the one that 8rought up annoying human guardians. 8ut I am ok with you 8eing my sister, Elena. You know that.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Lol. What, it was a fucking pain in the ass? Ugh. 8ut to 8e honest, if I think a8out it long enough, I am not so surprised anymore.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Just 8ecause a race is descri8ed as peaceful doesn't mean they aren't capa8le of war. I learned a lot a8out that from my own race, only in the opposite sense.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Trolls are hatched conquerers. 8ut I knew many who didn't want anything more than to just 8e 8uddies with everyone else, and have everything 8e daisies and rain8ows all the time.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
What's important is that we don't make the same mistake again.
no subject
Awesome it is! You're definitely that.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Only sometimes? My game is slipping!
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Yeah, I know. Speaking of, though...
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
My little brother showed up as part of the drop. I'm not sure how I feel about it just yet, or whether I want him assigned to this crew or not. He can take care of himself, but...
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
He's my brother. I want him where I can watch after him.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
Anyway. That's true, I just didn't expect it. I guess I should have, though. No way this was going to be as easy as just showing up and blowing the planet up.
FROM: gilbert.elena@cdc.org
I won't make the mistake of underestimating them again, that's for sure. And next time the kids show up, I won't hesitate. They know what they're getting into.
