[THE AWKWARDEST]

I'm sorry about everything. If you don't wanna come home, I understand.

[YEAH BASICALLY]

[how do we respond to this in nonawkward ways omg]

It wasn't your fault the day was unlucky.

Ravindra found out about it. He doesn't want me to stay there.

[a_wrong_turn]

He was gonna sooner or later, I guess...

What do you wanna do?

[assassinot]

It makes sense for me to return to HQ. The commute is getting to be a hassle.

[ALSO SHE WAS ALMOST EATEN don't say that Vati]

But I'd miss being there with you two.

[BESIDES THE ATTEMPTED CANNIBALISM]

[a_wrong_turn]

[Chisaki thinks it's at least kind of an excuse. She'd make an excuse in Vati's shoes. She doesn't even know how to say -- or if she should say -- that she doesn't want her to go.]

You think you'll come visit sometimes, at least?

[assassinot]

[this feels way more awful than she thought it would]

[but being almost eaten]

[but Chisaki and Nova!]

Yeah. Of course.

There are still dinners I didn't get the chance to make.

[TOO SOON?]

[a_wrong_turn]

Yeah... we oughta have some of those.

You're gonna be okay living at HQ?

[assassinot]

I doubt it.

They're strict and I'm terrible at what I do and I can never get anywhere on time.

[threat of being eaten is sounding less bad by the second, actually...]

[a_wrong_turn]

Why are you staying there?

[assassinot]

I'm not lying about the commute! [this is half admitting that she's terrified of their house but whatever] It's half an extra chance to not be late.

Ugh the whole thing was a terrible idea. I don't know how to be a spellsword at all. It's nothing like being an assassin [Chisaki's a molavvas this makes it okay to admit, perfect logic]. They're all... up front! And fighting directly! And there's magic and glowing gold everywhere!

Swords are so much larger than daggers. And you can't throw them.

I tried.

[a_wrong_turn]

I guess that's true...

[sigh! But... should she really discourage her?]

I didn't know you were an assassin. It sounds like it's different, yeah. You probably need to practice and shit. I've been doing it a lot since I became a rogue. Smacking things with staffs.

[Uuuuh how does she be reassuring]

You can do it and shit. Maybe talk to your boss slash friend? Uh... I mean, I guess you probably don't trust me at all because yeah, but if you wanna train together, we could. I do it a lot, so I won't lose control.

[assassinot]

I was. Not anymore. Gone. Good bye. Ass ass the sins no longer. The Armaiti's not here to stop me.

I guess being an awful spellsword is still better than being a mediocre assassin.

[Chisakiiii why are you so nice why did Nova try to eat her why does she have to move out]

[why is life complicated]

[pen taps]

We can try as long as Ravindra doesn't find out.

But I can't even hold my own against a regular person.

[a_wrong_turn]

It's good you're out. We'll try it, if you want. I'll go easy on you.

[She wishes there's a way out for her.]

...how mad is he?

[assassinot]

It's Ravindra. Assume maximum madness.

I doubt it will last. He can't keep after me without being a hypocrite.

[a_wrong_turn]

I figure I'll avoid him for a few months and run away if I see him?

[assassinot]

That does sound effective.
