What the hell is wrong with you?! This isn't just about us! If we don't take some kind of precaution, we could hurt someone, or worse!

[televised]

[She crosses her arms, staring at her like she's freaking out over nothing.]

And what precautions do you suggest, Emma? What are we supposed to do, exactly? I hope you're not about to suggest we restrain ourselves. You already saw how that worked out for Swift Wind.

[foodbin]

It wasn’t the restraints that killed him. Would you even listen to any suggestions I had?

[televised]

If you calm down long enough to list them, sure.

[there's a bit of text on her collarbone, visible when her shirt shifts with the change of posture. it says pragmatic.]

[foodbin]

Caring about this doesn't mean I'm panicking. Screw you.

[...Anyways.]

What would be so wrong with restraints?

[televised]

Except you're being overly defensive.

[SHE SIGHS.]

You mean, beside the fact we'd be fucked if someone targeted us?

[foodbin]

Isn't that better than hurting somebody else?

[televised]

... Are you seriously saying you want to lay down and die because of something that might not even happen?

[foodbin]

No, I'm not giving up! I just...

[She sighs.]

It's really easy for you to just say it'll be fine, but you don't know that.

[televised]

[... She scoffs at her, crossing her arms.]

What? You think I'm not aware of that? For someone who was chosen to fill out some big, important role — you're really missing the point here.

[foodbin]

Enlighten me.

[televised]

The moment you start to freak out over the possibility that something bad might happen? That's when you lose control.

[WHATEVER...]

If you're so worried, then get someone to do a task in exchange for a talisman and have them stay with you on Thursday night. If anything happens, which it likely won't, then they'll be there to stop you. It's better than serving yourself on a silver platter for whatever asshole goes looking for an easy kill.

[foodbin]

...You could have just said that second part instead of acting like I'm being crazy.

[But there's a light note of gratefulness in her tone. It's a good idea.]

[televised]

You were being a little crazy.

[You're welcome, Emma.]

[foodbin]

...Chalk it up to personal experience, I guess.
