You guys captured Purity?

I seem to be more interested in saving the world than the average teenager, it's true. Although I suspect Lance feels similarly.

[msglam]

You also seem to actually look into ways of doing it instead of just playing that role.

[first_and_final]

Well, yes. I don't know, I think other people could do that too with a little encouragement.

[msglam]

I'm pretty sure most teenagers do not think in terms of 'being in a cooperative discussion with someone who wanted to help you improve.'

[first_and_final]

Don't they? Why not?

[msglam]

You'd have to ask them, but my best guess is that they don't think of themselves that way, as people-who-improve, or something along those lines. I mean, that's true of people in general, but teenagers in particular seem to want to fit molds and play roles and even 'being a superhero' is a mold that has specific things that should happen and such.

[first_and_final]

Well, that's silly.

[msglam]

Isn't it just.

[first_and_final]

Anyway. How have you been? Catch any supervillains while I wasn't looking?

[msglam]

I didn't! My life has been pretty uneventful, no superpowered shenanigans as of yet.

[first_and_final]

Uneventful in a nice way, I hope.

[msglam]

Uneventful in a not-awful way, at the least.

[first_and_final]

Acceptable.

I hope I'm in a better mood by Sunday; I'd hate to show up and then hide under a blanket all day. That would be totally contrary to the spirit of the enterprise.

[msglam]

We could cuddle under the blanket and drink hot chocolate.

[first_and_final]

That sounds wonderful.

[msglam]

Yup! And I'd pet you and your adorable fluffy tail and we'd kiss and talk about how we're going to save the world and that'd make you feel better about stuff.

[first_and_final]

Okay, you're winning me over.

[msglam]

Good!

[first_and_final]

I'm glad I know you.

[msglam]

It was surely auspicious in several ways for you to suddenly appear in my room.

[first_and_final]

Of all the people whose rooms I could have suddenly appeared in, I'm definitely pleased with the one I got.

[msglam]

Mmhm, I'm definitely pleased with that, too.

[first_and_final]

I suspected you might be.

[msglam]

Anyway, I wanted to ask earlier but forgot, and if you don't wanna talk about this subject anymore that's fine, but why don't they let you apologize to Purity?

[first_and_final]

Apparently no one's supposed to talk to her? Which sounds cruel to me, but it might just have been an excuse concealing some other, less cruel reason.
