she's still hulking, horns sharp, third eye open. she grins widely, but it's more like baring rows of sharp teeth. she crouches down in her bubble barrier prison, almost like a gargoyle, tail swishing like she's looking at prey.
I suppose it would feel like something's missing, if he isn't a little angry... But I don't think he'd be able to stay angry at you. Or hate you. That isn't who he is.
And the person who did all those things... We know that isn't who you are, Karlach.

no subject

Fuck off. It's not - about me. He forgave me, I'm fucking absolved.
[another laugh.]
no subject
It hurts now, but I think you'll be glad that he did. Not knowing if he would forgive would be much harder.
no subject
Would it be? Are you kidding? It makes it worse. Can't even have the decency to hate me for killing him! I hunted him down like a dog.

no subject
I don't want forgiveness.
