Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2017 12:22 am"A pack isn't just friends. A pack is family, and someone you trust in a fight, and someone you trust to beat you silly for your own good. It's a lot of things all wrapped up. It's hard for humans to understand."

Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2017 12:37 am"Oh! Like a partner. You know, a crime-fighting one." she quickly adds to avoid confusion. "Someone who's got your back."
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2017 12:43 am"...wouldn't mind the other kind, either."
"But it's hard to trust on that level when they don't understand what it's like."

Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 6:24 pm"I... suppose." she says and it's clear that this is something she's only now really getting to realize. Relying on her power had meant she never really had to worry about trust, but now that she's caught a glimpse of where that could lead her everything is suddenly much more questionable. "But that's true for everyone who's different, yeah?"
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 7:12 pm"So what happened to your partner?" She asks, cocking her head.
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2017 6:18 pm"There were people after her and she went home to deal with it. It's... probably for the better. I'm not sure how happy she was here." she says, though it doesn't take a genius to figure out that that's mostly what Nailah's telling herself.

It isn't a question.

Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2017 2:17 pm"Is that what it tells you?" She asks carefully.
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2017 5:47 pm"That's not how it works. I think?"
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Sun Dec 31, 2017 7:37 pm"Perhaps not. Maybe that door is closed to you, now."
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2018 12:49 am"Well yeah. Can't exactly go back and fix it now, can I?"
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:12 pm"So you can't dance back and forth. Once you're on a path, that's it."
"Ever wonder where it leads?"

Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:18 pm"But obviously you're choosing one thing and not the other. The choices narrow, bit by bit."
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:24 pm"You're starting to sound like that weird old lady."
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:26 pm"I'm trying to get you to think, eh?"
"Besides, I am a weird old lady by some standards."

Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:00 pm"Why's everyone so interested in making me think?" she frowns a little. "I already know things are all messed up."
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:02 pm"That's all they're going to be, if 'all messed up' is where your curiosity ends."

Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:18 pm"I guess we'll both get to find out, then."
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:21 pm"Right. Well. Thank you for bringing these to me. I'm sorry I don't have a Christmas gift for you." she says, trying to find her way back to being polite.
Re: The Opposite of Fetch
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:36 pm"Not a gift from me, remember?"
"I won't darken your door anymore, but I'll be around if you lose your mind and actually want to find me."

Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2018 9:11 pm"Take care, liebchen."
She smirks faintly and heads off down the hallway.
