Oh. You have my sympathies.

[... Well, if she's sharing, it's only fair.]

And my understanding, I suppose? I am ill, but only at home. Were Malachite to deem it funny or simply convenient to send me back, I would be dead within the week. So! Here we are with unpleasantness to return to.

[beatojuice]

I am not fishing for pity or sympathy. I just want you to understand my motive. Nevertheless, it would appear that we both have some cause for concern, to say nothing of agitation in this matter.

Speaking of agitation, the challenge will be not only in reaching Malachite, but to do so in a way that does not further inflame their temper. Honestly, what a brat.

[takeroot]

No, of course not. No pity. The way such a revelation changes a person's perception of you instantly is quite bad enough.

[Not that he airs his business around here all that much, but being The Sick Person at home was already enough pity to bury a city, so. No, not pity.]

As for our brat... They are essentially a child, yes? I was considering slipping them a note somehow, to appeal to a child's sense of mischief.

[beatojuice]

It certainly does, doesn't it? Being pitied means being treated as something completely helpless. It can be insulting.

Couldn't that land you in serious trouble?

[takeroot]

I don't disagree! I may not be much of an asset in something like a brawl, but to watch the cogs turn behind someone's eyes as they prepare to walk on eggshells around me like I am a sensitive child is a level of helpless I cannot abide. Tedious!

And I've no idea. There is a decent chance I fail completely before anyone takes notice, after all.
