... Look, I'm with you on that. She might not have realised it, but she's been pretty clear she's never had people doing things for her just because. Not really.
You also have Jingheng to help you around. And we might be able to negotiate some better treatment for you.
Don't tell her I told you, but she also really, really does not want to talk to the [ its weird to call this tiny group of children demons ] ...our guides to get healed. Harrowhark said she needs to, but she's resistant to it for a lot of reasons. If I had an easier solution to give her, I'd give it to her in a heartbeat.
The problem lies in the fact that she'd deny it, if I did just ask. And... I don't know if there's a way I can do it without her knowing. I think I could get her to drink it without realizing it, at least, but I do think she'd be angry at me, if I did.
Ugh. Yeah, she’s not stupid. And I could suggest we try and drink roulette her and pretend one heals people now, buuut— I don’t think she’d fall for that long term.
Have you thought about laying it out to her like you did to me?
Well, I have, but... you know her. [ he chuckles a little, fond. ] The likelihood of her listening to my logic is pretty low, especially while I'm hurt.
I also don't know how long it takes to take effect. If I could give it to her and it was on a time release, that would be fine, too, but I don't think that's the case.
...Why are you the second person who thought I was kidnapping her?
[ help ]
Of course she knows. It's been in the works for a few weeks - it's just only recently started to solidify, all things considered. There are things we're working on, so, I'm telling you in confidence, but that is the plan.
Because I can definitely see you running around adopting all the kids with shit backgrounds here— and there are a damn lot of them, why are there so many of them?— and running off with them. [ it’s said more amused than anything. ]
Good. I told her there was no way in hell she was going back to what she left. We just needed to find something better for her that she’d accept.
[ he. laughs a little at that, reaching up to rub the back of his neck, smile very sheepish. ]
I do have the benefit of having an entire galaxy that's used to taking in refugees, but... I would always ask, first.
[ so date's not wrong. the second part gets him to smile a little more affectionately, though, and he nods. ]
Yeah. I... offered - today. I offered to be her legal guardian. There are other paths to her getting out that don't involve that, but... I put the offer on the table, at least.

... Honestly you might just have to do it and deal. She'll be mad, but I don't think she could be really mad at you for long.

he laughs a little at that, though, propping his cheek in his hand. ] I'm bringing her home with me, so I hope that's true.

Does she know that?

That's one less thing to worry about. Even if she didn't take it, for some entirely unknown reason, we'd still find something better for her.
