Well... a little of all of the above, I guess?

[ She's not sure if she's annoyed by this or not. No, she is a little annoyed by it. ]

She opens her mouth and then closes it. ]

... There are a few things I wish I could say but can't. [ She sighs. ] Is there anything more you want to ask me before we do this?

[ She can feel her time winding down. Why is it always time that's against her? ]

[for agni, there has never been a "why" that could please anyone, for any of his actions. though, perhaps his easy acceptance of this reality is why the others see him as a god without pride.

it's as he told peach. even if the people here condemn him for what he's about to do, it doesn't matter. he's not trying to be a hero.]

Hm... Well, lots of things, really.

[for just a moment, something sad flashes in his eyes, before with one hand, he abruptly swings his sword at her.]

—But I probably shouldn't delay this any further.

[ She laughs because at least now, she can fight as herself and not as a monster that isn't quite her. She flips backwards to dodge him, her leg catching on his blade.. ]

Let's enjoy this, for these last few minutes.

[ She spins and kicks a leg in an arabaesque straight at his face. ]

Well, if that's what you want—whoa!

[it's not as if agni doesn't enjoy fighting, at least. he jumps back to dodge the kick, before lunging forward again for another slash.]

—Hey, wait, the scuff marks on your legs...

[thinking about it now, are they what he thinks they are...]

[ She opens her mouth, as if to answer, and a flash of irritation crosses her face. She's tired of not being able to say anything.

That may be answer enough, as she parries his slash with her other leg. ]

There are many things I want, Agni. [ They touched on it briefly. ] Could we have tolerated each other in different circumstances?

[... so that's a yes, then.

i hate that because this is a death log, i have to pretend to actually be good at writing fight scenes. anyhow, fighting is a little awkward as his instinct is constantly to use his powers—which he doesn't have. so, all he can do is slash again.

not yet. give it—her—a bit more time.]

Maybe. You were pretty endearing when you were gushing about figurines!

[ Meltryllis' powers are integrated with her fighting style, so while she's used to moving at much greater speeds, the movements itself are as graceful as ever. I suck at writing fight scenes, too, so I just make vague descriptions like pretend some leg action happens here ANYWAY

At that, she looks affronted. ]

It's not gushing! It's extolling their virtues!

[then presumably there is a lot of slashing & leg action because he's not going to kill this moment just yet by doing the mean thing.]

Heh! Sure sounds like the same thing to me!

[ more action sequence that we both don't want to write goes here

Because correcting Agni about dolls is more important obviously. ]

Listen, here! I could give a lecture about the beauty of figures with a long list of meticulous and well thought out facts.

[ They're opinions. ]

[melt knows what she's about?]

Oh yeah? Let's hear those facts!

First of all, aren't they easy to love? They're adorable, and you can hold them however you please!

[ rip melt's earlier dignity ]

Do you usually hold them in different ways?

[??? do figurines even exist where he's from, who knows.]

[ in this log jan is kubera word of god ]

You can display them, show them to the world, show how much you love them, collect any of them, and then crush any of them. They're the easiest things to give all your love to.

[ Yeah, she definitely said crush. ]
