Aren't we all gonna die eventually?

[ that's definitely the pool-induced depression talking ]

[ im

going to say that they're close enough for domestic abuse. which is to say, at that, grace has her own pool-induced Feelings and is handling it great, because that makes her slap yuel. bad. ]

Don't say that!

[ she covers her mouth in surprise immediately after, hand shaking ]

--I'm, I'm sorry, I didn't... You scared me.

[ holy shit

She just holds her cheek, shocked. ]

I... it's okay. I shouldn'ta said that...

[ sometimes you are still on edge from near death experiences from a week back, it's fine, grace winces and moves closer hesitantly ]

No, I. It's this place, it's not you, I... [ she looks away, putting her hand slowly on yuel's arm in case she wants to move ] I don't want you to die. You know that.

[ Grace...

She doesn't mind the touch at all, settling a hand over Grace's and squeezing to show no hard feelings. ]

I know. I don't want to die either. And I never want you to get hurt. [ She's shifts so that she can pull Grace closer into a hug. ] It's... sometimes. It's hard to remember this is ever goin' to end.

[ well. if they're allowing hugs despite the violence. that'll happen. ]

I know. But it will. You just... We have to keep going until then.

... Yer incredible, Grace. [ She's squeezing her tight now. ] Yer always helpin' me and makin' me feel better. I dunno why I'm complainin' when I have a friend like you.

[ don't say that after getting slapped, geez!! but grace shakes her head a little ]

No, it's fine, I... [ she huffs a little, hesitant: ] The pool was really gross. I'd complain too.

[ it was not the complaint but. it's an out. ]

It was really gross. What's the point of a place like this?

[ seriously ]

How's this supposed to help indulgin'?

It's probably linked to one of the Avatars again. They all have a floor each, so... I don't know why some of them have such terrible rooms, though.

[ death pool. ]
