I'm a bit mad, but it's not exactly fair of me to be. You're still figuring it out.
[babyzoned forever even if she hates it]
He'll be alright. He's stronger than you think, but do me a favor and be kind to him. He loved Lucas a lot, and he didn't get to say goodbye. Same as you.
[there's some like - tension, here, but it's not from anger. it's more like she's trying to make sure she doesn't tip her hand on how much it hurts to think about lucas being dead.]
Nothing here is fair. So be mad if you want. I'll even let ya get one punch in.
[ a weak attempt at humor, though she kind of just. makes a face at "figuring it out". but she is too broken to pick this fight right now, so karlach can babyzone her ]
I wasn't trying to be an asshole.... but I get it. I'm not gonna be one. If anything, I kinda... wanted to apologize too, but I think it's probably best if I keep my distance. [ though ] And.... you?
I could take it. [ she's not gonna argue to get punched, but she does make a little pouty face. briefly. she's not gonna ask about mathis's whole deal, but: ]
I know there's a little more than grief going on there, but.... I getcha. I'll try to catch him a little later on.
I wasn't gonna! [ hands up in the air all exaggerated like "don't shoot" ] Like I said, I just wanted to apologize.
[ hmmm ]
Well, I'm not great at the whole feelings thing to begin with. [ let alone when she just lost her whole ass cast and had to kill someone she cared for very deeply. and then execution. it has not been fun ] So I'm not gonna get on your case or anything. If you wanna punch some stuff, then I'm more your girl. But.... dunno. I don't think it would be bad if you weren't fine sometimes.

[ is she gonna be alright? ]
no subject
I wouldn't. Not ever. [she knows it's a joke, but she wants to make that clear!] Anyway. Like I said - I know you didn't. Nobody meant to.
I don't think he'd be against you apologizing. He wasn't himself, exactly, in that moment. Grief does that.
[as for her, she waves a hand.]
I'll be fine. Don't worry about me.

It's not anything that needs a pat on the back, yeah? I am alright. It was a rough weekend for everybody.
