[saltwaterlungs]

Make things square. Set things right. This is my second of three languages, give me a break.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Oh, no, I know what that means.

[cocks head]

You erasing your memory was never something I wanted, was it. It was something you wanted, to gain the absolution you desire.

[saltwaterlungs]

It wasn't for that. Obviously if I used it against you, I shouldn't get to have that information, right? That's just obvious. It's a security thing.

[ Huffs. ]

I'm asking you what you want now, aren't I?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

You are. And I don't want anything.

[saltwaterlungs]

Okay. Fine, then.

[ A broad shrug like she doesn't care either way. Y'know, like a liar. ]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[silent staring]

[saltwaterlungs]

[ Stares back. ]

You can leave whenever dude.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

I live here.

[saltwaterlungs]

I'm just saying, you can leave whenever, because I'm not going anywhere.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Duly noted.

[moves

but just to sit instead of kneel.]

[saltwaterlungs]

[ Digs out her ipod and puts a headphone in. ]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[continuing to just sit there doing absolutely nothing.]

[saltwaterlungs]

[ Darcy's going to keep this up for literal hours if he doesn't leave first. ]

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[it just gets funnier the longer it goes he is fully willing to spend actual days sitting here.]

[saltwaterlungs]

You know you're going to have to deal with me until either me or Skulduggery disappears right.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Am I not dealing with you right now.

[saltwaterlungs]

You're just kind of sitting there silently. That's not really dealing with.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

[shrugs]

There isn't much to deal with in particular. Simply not allowing you your martyrdom has calmed you down well enough.

[saltwaterlungs]

It's not martyrdom if I come back. Why don't you want me to fix things?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Because that's not what you're doing. Unless you have somehow developed the self-awareness necessary to recognize that when you say "things," you mean "the guilty conscience of Darcy LeJeune."

[saltwaterlungs]

Weirdly enough, guilt is a thing that happens when normal people do a bad thing. You feel guilty, so you fix what you've done and don't do it again. Yes, I feel bad about it, because I'm trying not to be such a huge fucking cunt all the time, and I was genuinely trying to help. Surprisingly. I'm guessing guilt is one of those emotions you're still learning.

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Hm. And we return to the start once again, don't we. [a thin smile] Perhaps it's just my ignorance of human emotions, but I'm failing to see how "wiping your memory" or "wanting to be killed" fix what you did. I just see how they would make you feel better about it.

[the smile widens]

And I don't think you get to have that yet. That doesn't fix anything, either. But it does make me feel better.

[saltwaterlungs]

And you still won't tell me what will fix things, because you're a petty little motherfucker. Wasn't this fucking productive.

[ Darcy pinches at the bridge of her nose. ]

Can you forgive me? Is that in the realm of possibility here?

[sictransitgloriamundi]

Some things can't be fixed.

[a long pause]

I have no desire to absolve you. And I've yet to be shown any reason to do so. I'm not even entirely sure what you want forgiveness for, specifically.

[saltwaterlungs]

[ Oh. Gestures vaguely and then rubs the back of her neck. ]

I was cruel to you. That's what it comes down to, even beyond doing dumb shit with sensitive information, and even if I didn't mean it, whatever. I'm sorry that I hurt you. That's what I'm asking forgiveness for. I don't want to keep fighting you forever, I defended you to people before I fucked up because-

[ Reaches into her pocket and withdraws the cool knife. ]

I wanted to believe there was more to you. And I was grateful for you giving the knife back. I am still grateful for it. I don't want absolution, I just want to atone, and then I'll fuck off.
