Anyway, I'll get back to you! ...No really!"

[fatalstriker]

Not enough to help me out of this medical prison, though?

[she's easy to mess with, it can't be helped.]

[undaunts]

Noooope.

[Just.

Immediately.]

I mean, isn't Flynn doing this because he's worried about you?

[fatalstriker]

There's a such thing as worrying too much.

[undaunts]

Nope.

[That answer comes...basically immediately, if lightly.]

I don't think there is. I mean, sure, it's probably boring and annoying to be stuck here, but... he really cares, right? So you probably scared him a lot.

I think it's nice that he worries so much about you. It means you've got someone who'll always watch your back.

[Ohana means family yuri]

[fatalstriker]

I think it's a pain. Getting it checked out is one thing, but even the nurse said this is usually home care since they can't do much about it.

[unless they want to try ceres experimental medicine. which. no. absolutely not. so this method it is... which means having bot watch 2015 on him is... not ideal, and he's frustrated.

this is why he's a lone wolf, okay!! who needs family!!]

[undaunts]

I mean, it's probably silly.

[She's acknowledge that much, especially if even the nurse said so.]

But... you know you scared him, right?

[fatalstriker]

[dammit ruby. why do you have to say it like that and force him to acknowledge the truth.]

It's his own damn fault. [which is muttered; he probably wouldn't have hid it if not for flynn's stupidity just before he got hurt, anyway.]

[undaunts]

[Because she is a blunt teenage girl without a brain to mouth filter.]

Nuh-uh.

[Just like now.]

It's not his fault that he likes you that much! He likes you because you're you, and you're likable, so...it's kinda your fault too.

[fatalstriker]

....Not how I meant it at all, Ruby.

[he says with a sigh; he's a little frustrated, but it's not at her. it's just thinking about how things ended up this way aggravates him.]

[undaunts]

I don't really get you guys at all.

[Quite frankly.]

I know you care about each other, but you sure spend a lot of time fussing about it. And being all roundabout about it.

[fatalstriker]

[stop calling him out on his shit, ruby! stop that!!!]

I'd fuss less if he was less of an idiot about things. [...like yuri has any room to talk here.]

[undaunts]

[She can't stop now!!]

Yuriiiiiii.

[POUT!]

I think you're being kind of dumb about it too.

[fatalstriker]

[she should stop, because she's not going to get through to him at all.]

I'm just doing what I've always done.

[undaunts]

Which is... being kinda dumb, right?

It's okay, I think he does that too. Being kinda dumb about you two. [She just waves a hand in Yuri's general direction.] Family...relationship...weirdness. What is your relationship, anyway? Like... really, I have no idea at this point.

[fatalstriker]

It is what it is, I guess.

[he shrugs.] Never really put a label on it. We've been friends since we were kids, that's it.

[now there's just more sex. but. you know, he's not going to say that to the teenage girl, he's not that tactless.]

[undaunts]

Soooo because of that, he's worried about you when you get hurt, right?

[She taps her chin thoughtfully.]

But youuu are sort of Super Lone Wolf person, right? So you don't like people fussing over you and you'd rather go lick your wounds hopefully metaphorically off in a corner somewhere until they get better. But Flynn gets worried! And then you do reckless things and make it worse! And he worries more!

And then you yell at each other!

And then you're put under robot arrest.

[.......]

Something like that?

[Okay so she nailed a lot of it but definitely didn't catch on to the sex part. Probably for the better.]

[fatalstriker]

[she nailed way too much of that, if his expression is any indication.]

...Something like that.

[undaunts]

... Yeah, that's kind of a mess.

I mean, I don't really know how to fix it because I don't have a relationship like you two but... Uncle Qrow always said whenever Yang and I got mad at each other that both of us had to give a little, or nothing'd ever be fixed.

And he wouldn't let us play video games until we did.

[fatalstriker]

I'm not worried. It's a pain in the ass, but it's not the first time it's happened.

[they bicker, they argue and get angry, they beat each other up... problem solved.]

[undaunts]

Ooooh.

[A solemn nod.]

So you're used to people taking away your video games.

[Ruby that's. No.]

[fatalstriker]

What.

[? he doesn't get it, okay. he kind of glossed over when she said it the first time because it goes pretty far over his head.]

[undaunts]

Um. Never mind.

[Yeah, she went a little weird there.]

Anyway, you'll talk to him, right? And fix things? Because this is all pretty sad and also I'm winning and I don't think that'd happen if you weren't distracted.

[fatalstriker]

We'll be fine. We've dealt with a hell of a lot worse than this before.

[you know, like the time yuri killed a man. or two. (minor details).]

...I don't think that has anything to do with the game, Ruby. [seriously.] It's luck of the draw.

[undaunts]

[Yeah, Ruby's blissfully oblivious to Yuri's vigilante justice, let's keep it that way.]

It's got skill to it.

[Some...how. Maybe.

Just roll with it.]

[fatalstriker]

[yeah, that's something he'd prefer she never finds out. so he plans on keeping it that way.]

All right, all right. I guess you're just the most skilled at... Candyland then.
