[She's a little slow to reply, momentarily too busy wishing the mist would have given her the choice to add another ugly scar to her collection rather than having put him and herself through what had happened this last week.]

... very true. And old scarred skin can't do nearly as much damage as dredging up a painful memory.

[And behold, the subtle sound of a smirk in her tone.]

You're not so bad, Colonel. I would even say fairly tolerable. It also helps that I am extremely patient.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[ignitethesky]

Though, some of them act as triggers for said memories.

"Fairly tolerable"? I haven't gotten into nearly as much trouble here as I have at home, so either I've gotten better or I'm just getting warmed up.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[firebornfidelis]

... yes. But there are some things, no matter how painful, which shouldn't be forgotten.

[She doesn't resent her own scars for that reason. All of them are lessons, things she should never forget written down on her skin.]

If I were the type to make bets, I'd know which of those to put my money on. I'm convinced you're just lacking the home court advantage. I'm sure before long, you'll be back to getting yourself into copious amounts of trouble.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[ignitethesky]

Aw, come on, I'm not that bad!

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[firebornfidelis]

Mm... no. You aren't. But even if you were, I'd still stay by your side.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[ignitethesky]

Are you feeling better now?

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[firebornfidelis]

... yes. I think I am. Thank you.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[ignitethesky]

Good, because that means I don't have to resort to embarrassing myself to cheer you up.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[firebornfidelis]

[A soft sound, almost a laugh.]

Well, I wouldn't stop you if you had something planned.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[ignitethesky]

Or I could save it in the event there ever comes a time when I would need it.

...like another time such as this, or a second date, or something completely random.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[firebornfidelis]

Ah. And of course you wouldn't want to be without it in the event that you should have a need of it. For a second date... or something random.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[ignitethesky]

Exactly. And if I save it, it'll give me more time to plan it out for maximum effect.

[v-v-voice | super private!]

[firebornfidelis]

Well then, by all means, sir. Hold onto it.
