/Anyway! Take care of yourself with this person your friends don't like. And you come and tell me who they are if they cause any trouble for you, hmm?/
/Sciel, are you going to knight-in-shining-armor me? I don't think my heart can take it!
Sure, yeah, in that case, I'd definitely tell. There is someone who actually fucked me up a while back, but they were hit with the anomaly, so I decided to be forgiving./
/Hey, idea, how about we elope? Sounds much more functional.
You mean here in Etraya or are we talking more generally? Forgiveness is a very subjective, case-by-case thing. It looks and feels different for each person giving or receiving./
/If I ever decide to be a wife again, I'll let you know.
I meant here, but yes, that's true. I've just never been in an environment where something can force a person to be cruel or violent entirely against their will./
/Me, on the other hand, am more than used to that./
(And she can be that 'something', too. Her perspective is a little different.)
/From where I stand, it depends on the situation. Forcing and encouraging what's there are different. I can forgive when the former is involved, but I won't forget the latter./
/In all honesty, if it were a year ago, you would not even question it.
Now, though? I'm not, unless I'm invited to. I can only judge by the situation itself. Earth was a morality shift, so I can think of it in those terms, you know? Besides, people let on a lot more than you'd realize with the simplest, smallest things. You just gotta pay attention, and if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time. At least I'm learning.
/It does! People think they're a lot more coy than they really are, more secretive... but if you know what to look for, it's all there. And even if you can't tell what the truth is, you can recognize a mask when you see one./
/That's exactly it! I'm trained and wired for it, telepathically or otherwise. You should meet Emma Frost one day, I'm so curious to see what you would think of her./
/There's a whole tradition about it? Like, kids go knocking from house to house asking for candy, and if you don't do it, they'll do something lightly mischievous to you. In theory. It's kind of a day for spooky things, ghosts, zombies, horror, that kind of stuff.
And when you grow up, well, you use it to dress up in a costume and go get drunk and do stupid, fun things with your friends./
/At our ages? Absolutely. And it's whatever you want, sexy, stupid, cute, really, whatever your heart desires.
We're doing mutant exchange! We're doing each other's uniforms-slash-X-Men aesthetics, So I'm going as Magik, Magik is going as — Scott Summers, he hasn't gone through stuff yet to have a uniform, Scott is going as Kid Omega, Kid Omega is going as Hellion, Hellion is going as One-In-Five. It's going to be very chaotic.
Thank God Magik goes into the battlefield in leather. I'm gonna have a great time!/
I have none, right now. Silly because I had so many dance costumes at home! Useless to me now. Maybe I'll just wander that clothes place until I find something.

No, girl, didn't you hear? It ended up in the newspapers! French woman attempts parallel parking, 3 fainted, 14 dislocated necks./

It's strange, the damage we're made to do to each other. The damage we choose to do. I'd want to be forgiving. I'm not sure how well I'd manage it./

You'll come to Halloween, right? Everyone important to me is going to be there, so obviously, you have to come. Don't make a liar out of me./

I'll see what I can rustle up, though./
