[ stop! apartment time!

percy is just here pouring a bottle of wine into a glass and staring at it. ]

If I see another butterfly again, it's going to be too soon.

[ktiseos]

I do not know what they were thinking.

[he just. sighs, head in his hands.]

If they could not try to end it swiftly--

[decisions]

It's long either way. We either are invited to a public laundry-airing of the psyche or a duel to the death. You would think one would be shorter than the other.

[ he looks down. ]

Suppose I didn't make ours any shorter.

[ in any case, he drinks. ] How are your injuries?

[ktiseos]

They are improved.

[he's being polite and not agreeing with percy about that duel, because he's still annoyed with vax for not ending it sooner.]

...neither way is ideal, but I do think this one may be preferable.

[ boys will be. ]

The latter hurts to watch, but the former leaves everyone helpless. I suppose there's a sense of "on one's own terms" with combat.

[ktiseos]

And their opponent volunteers themselves, as well. We all must watch, still, but we know they face someone who chose their place.

[decisions]

It's about control, I suppose.

[ he just meanders to the couch with his gun-turned-crutch and flops down quietly. ]

Some aspects of it are yours in the end, you go out the way you want, in a way you wish to be understood, even if it is just by the other party.

[ he rubs his face with one hand. ] I'm... glad Clarte made it out. I was worried for a moment towards the end... [ YOUR SENSE OF SELF PRESERVATION IS BAD, CLARTE, IT GIVES PERCY ANXIETY ] After everything that'd happened when we were gone from here, I've grown fond. [ even if they are. such a creature. sometimes. sighs. ]
