I thought you wanted to fuck one of their gods. You can hardly do that from all the way out in the city, now can you?

If I am allowed to defend myself: I'm far too used to offering the kindness rather than being the recipient of it. At least since I woke up with my memory in pieces.

[cointosser]

Ah, you would be surprised, wouldn't you?

Then such is a time for new opportunities. Now that I shall press them, obviously, for it is annoying to be insisted upon for anything you do not wish for. Besides all that, I am a little bit surprised you're considered the kind one amongst all the, ah, threats.

[durge]

Consider the threats an... unfortunate side effect of something else, if you will, and not particularly indicative of my personality.

At least not anymore.











At least not while I remain in control of myself.

And not towards people who, for the most part, deserve a knife to the heart or the life torn out of them.

[cointosser]

[There's only one conclusion that makes sense.]

Right, heavy brain damage, is it? You know, I had a cousin who had a tree fall on him. He was never the same after. Used to be so quiet and then he'd go and curse up a storm, including many violent and unspeakable acts threatened towards goats that I shall not repeat.

Luckily, I'm hardly anyone who deserves, er, stabbings. In fact, I'd say most people like me. I've only been stabbed once, and I don't think he meant to do it.

[durge]

( well he's not NOT wrong. )

I think the heavy brain damage was a help in this case, rather than a hinder.

[cointosser]

What, you were worse before the tree fell on your head? Er, metaphorically.

[durge]

That seems to be the case, yes.

[cointosser]

Yikes.

2/2

[cointosser]

I mean, not that I find you terrible in the least! I would say it's a minor flaw, like a scar on one's face! Hardly noticeable.

[durge]

( ... )

Is that truly the best you can do?

( Gods, she misses Astarion something horrible right about now. At least he took it all in stride. Even Viktor took it better. )

[cointosser]

All right, I'm lying, it's completely noticeable. Does being told that which you know make you feel better?

Anyway, even if your brain damage has given you some urge to cut people's throats open, it is what it is. We all have flaws.

[durge]

I am already regretting telling you.

That... is not what I said the trauma did, but if it allows you to sleep better at night, then don't let me stop you.

[cointosser]

I get that sometimes.

Luckily, I don't sleep anywhere near you, so I'll be fit as a fiddle either way! But all jokes aside, I do hope -- well, I'm not sure what, because I would never say trauma is "fixable," even if we wish it were. More like, that it gets easier... or that ease is something you can still hope for.

Either way, I shall be at your service, should there be that which you need.

[durge]

And yet you persist.

Thank you, Jaskier. Even if you seem to be confused on the matter.

[cointosser]

To be sure, "yet he persists" could surely be placed upon my tombstone as the epithet I lived by.

And don't you forget it.

[He will remain confused.]
