[ That pops off first, but she keeps going and Quentin gets a very clear picture of who this is. Wild how the further they get away from their first encounter (her cold, naked, bleeding), the more coarse she feels. Hm. ]

[ Out of respect for the story--and out of a little nervousness to say something not quite right--he takes a few moments before responding. How much trouble is he trying to borrow? ]


if you mean assholes being assholes where I can do something about it, yeah, that's exactly the kinda shit

if you mean trying intervene when one of us void touched is going to get ourselves in trouble, that too

[poleaxed]
