All right. [ she glances at the desk lamp to see which cord leads to it, and then replaces it with the humidifier's one. success! now, what else did the internet say about treating a fever... oh, wasn't there a bit about stripping into lighter clothes-- no, Maryam, you are certainly not bringing that up.

... uh. it seems that she is just about out of ideas. maybe she could fuss about the rest of Rose's room instead! ]

You sure have plenty of swords. [ ... ] Everywhere.

[restitchtime]

They're not mine. [and the harsh tone of her voice makes it readily apparent what her opinion on the owner of them is]

[conciliates]

... Then why are there so many of them?

[restitchtime]

Because the fucker keeps bringing them back in whenever I chuck them out the window.

[conciliates]

Ah.

At least put them in neater piles?

[restitchtime]

Why bother? I'm just going to throw them out again later.

[conciliates]

Wouldn't it be more effective to put them all in a single concentrated spot where they won't penetrate your field of vision and thus have their existence become easier to forget about?

[restitchtime]

Not really. That makes it look like I'm picking up after the bastard.

[conciliates]

But in a way, it'd also make it look like you've conquered the endless cycle of sword-dumping-and-chucking.

[restitchtime]

Not really. Getting the damn things to stay out of the place permanently would mean I'd won.

[conciliates]

How likely do you think that is?

[restitchtime]

Couldn't say. I see time, not the future.

[conciliates]

Well, obtaining victory by ways of elusive passive-aggressiveness seems like it'd be your kind of thing, but I wish you luck on your sword-chucking endeavors regardless.

[restitchtime]

I'm not being passive-aggressive. [she sounds pretty irritated by the mere thought of that]

[conciliates]

Not by this particular act, no. I'd say it's pretty straightforwardly aggressive. Hence my expression of mild surprise.

[restitchtime]

There's nothing surprising about it. If I think somebody's a piece of shit, I want them to know.

[conciliates]

... I suppose.

[restitchtime]

Dancing around the subject just means you've got no excuse to stop subjecting yourself to their company. It's not rocket science.

[conciliates]

I never really got it, either. It's kind of fun, though.

[restitchtime]

It's a load of bullshit, that's what it is.

[conciliates]

...

[ cautiously points at Squiddle shirt... ]

[restitchtime]

[looks down at it. back up to Kanaya.] What?

[conciliates]

Are you telling me that your habit of wearing it is completely passive-aggressiveness and irony-free?

[restitchtime]

Of course. It's a fucking shirt, attaching that much importance to it is stupid. [hahaha Rose your hypocrisy is showing...]

[conciliates]

Then the reason you've worn it every day that I've seen you for is, as a matter of fact, due to a heinously limited wardrobe alone?
