Hey! Castle! My brother just got here. Be nice or I'll kick your ass.

Hey, guys ... could you not, uh ... tell North about, you know.


.... I'd appreciate it.

Filtered to Wash

Thanks. [This is about the only time she will tell you this ever, and it doesn't sound like it's easy to say, so you'd better damn well cherish it.]

Comments

NOT EVEN FILTERED.

[ol_northy]

Was that necessary?

PLAYING IT DANGEROUS, BROTHER?

[i_got_this]

In this place? Yes.

FAST AND LOOSE.

[ol_northy]

Alright, so there's bullies, and they're going to come after little ol' me.

[i_got_this]

Bullies is the least of your problem here. And besides, I've already got a reputation, so I might as well use that to my benefit.

South

[encryptedlock]

He won't hear it from me.

[In fact, York is kind of wishing desperately that they can go home and change things right about now, because he's realizing how much he missed North.]

York

[i_got_this]

Thanks. And, uh ... thanks for helping him get settled.

[She was sort of freaking out too much to be of any use.]

South

[encryptedlock]

Any time. I mean it.

He's always been a good friend to me.

York

[i_got_this]

Yeah, he's kind of a good guy like that. Just don't tell him; you don't want it going to his head.

[pompous_today]

I wouldn't want one of those.

[i_got_this]

What, an ass kicking? Or a brother?

[pompous_today]

The kicking, I meant.

[i_got_this]

Coulda gone either way, I just had to be sure. And no, you don't want an ass kicking from me; they're brutal. [Proud Freelancer is proud.]

Freelancers minus North

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I won't. I had the chance already.

I left out certain details intentionally, South.

And you're welcome.

WASH she's not *that* open about it

[i_got_this]

Yeah, I get that. Saved me .... well. It saved me.

South(That was him making it clear to the others he's not talking)

[dontpatr0nizeme]

South, I don't hate you. And there's some things, North doesn't need to know. It'd hurt him.

It's not a lie, you know. I told him the Meta did it. Which he did.

WASH yeah she totally didn't take it as such XD

[i_got_this]

It's not a lie but it's not the truth. [She spits out, still sharply aware of her apparent future.]

[lonenoble]

[It's obvious she's joking.] So, someone to try to hold your leash so we don't have a repeat of you deciding to throw a flashbang at Spartans?

Good to know. I'll be nice, South.

[i_got_this]

[Except that Carolina continued to bring it up to South so she's immediately defensive at the mention.]

HEY! That was a one time thing okay? A simple miscommunication!

[lonenoble]

A miscommunication requires you to actually attempt communication, Freelancer.

[i_got_this]

Oh shut it. I didn't think there was time for a discussion.

South

[originalcopy]

Sounds like you got the happy family reunion thing done.

I'm glad for you... really.

[he is, but he's also trying like hell not to be bitter and jealous over it too.]

Church

[i_got_this]

Yeah, thanks.

[She thinks she catches some of that in his tone, but maybe she's just imagining things ...]

South

[youfallback]

He won't hear it from me. [She pauses before adding.] He should hear it from you.

Carolina

[i_got_this]

I don't want him hearing it at all.

[Not just because she wasn't looking forward to telling him, but because she didn't want to put him through that.]

South

[youfallback]

[Carolina figures that if South and North can reconcile what happens, it would make them stronger, but she can understand not wanting to mention it all whatsoever.]

It won't change how he sees you, South.
