[i really should have had a plan

instead, a sudden ~strange wind~ is going to blow in Bluebird's face and pick up one of those stacks, sending it flying away

to nightingale, of course, if she couldn't guess from how it didn't disturb any of the other stacks]

[ BUT ]

Ah! No, no—

[ Tries to grab the stack, only to stop, very suddenly and abruptly, when she spots Nightingale. ]

... Was that necessary??

[plucks it right out of the air!]

Absolutely. You should see the look on your face.

[ grumps ]

You'd better hope that they're all still in order.

[ Hops to her feet, dusting the grass off her leggings ]

Oh, tragic, I seem to have gotten them all mixed up. What a pity.

[she hasn't- the individual pieces haven't moved. but it's vanishing into her inventory before bluebird can get a close look.]

[ ... ]

[ SO WHAT IF I JUST TRY TO TURN YOU INTO A PRETZEL ]

[ABORT

ABORT MISSION, NOT AS PLANNED, HELP, OH GOD WHY THIS]

Hey- Calm down- Wait a minute-!

You started this, Nightingale!

[ CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE NOW A PRETZEL ]

[honestly she's probably more flexible now so easier to pretzel with HOW OFTEN THIS FUCKING HAPPENS OH GOD WHY DOES SHE NEVER LEARN]

Fuck- I surrender already!

Can I have my medicines back?

[ pretzel will continue until drugs are back in my possession, ok ]

Here-!

[holding them again]

Much obliged, m'lady.

[ takes them ]

[ DROPS U ]

[DROPPED]

Damn it, that's unfair...

[WHAT IF I TRY TO PRETZEL YOU IN RETURN

spoilers: i am still weak]

…

[ if you try that, I will try this: hooking your ankle, dropping you to the floor again, and sitting on you ]

Fuck.

[WELP

THIS DID NOT GO AT ALL HOW I PLANNED]

You try so hard.

[ FLUFFS YOUR BANGS smugly ]

I'll come out on top next time.

I'll believe that when I see it.

[ h a h ]

[ but she's feeling kind today, so instead of keeping Nightingale pinned, she shifts aside to let her up. ]

[she doesn't actually get up, though she does remove herself from being under bluebird, just remaining flopped on the ground]

I can prepare for that move, next time.

Have you ever thought about learning hand to hand?

[ because. seriously. if anybody could use some core strength training, it's you ]

[ putting the medicine back with the rest! ]

[WOW RUDE]

I'm a mage. Normally, I don't need it.

Normally isn't never.

[ SITS BACK DOWN next to Nightingale, hands braced behind herself ]

Besides, it's fun to learn!

If I need physical attacks, I can use a spear...

[kind of. glancing over. but not trying to look at you too long because oh god what the fuck do i do here.]

That's not what I came here for, anyway.

I said hand to hand. A spear most certainly is not "hand to hand".

[ Tilts her head, raising an eyebrow ]

Has something else happened?

Yeah, well...

[looking away]

... Not really. Just... something Magpie said has been bothering me.
