[a beat, and she glances at him.] Huh? Oh - do you mean with the furries? Sure, of course. I thought it was total bull that they were ragging on you after you looked like you were going to leave it alone.
You're justified. Don't let them tell you you're not. They wanna get all up in arms and pick fights because my sinners didn't get yelled at, but the fact is they didn't get someone innocent voted for. That's plenty reason to be mad, even if the shadows do feel like you have to get away with it the whole trial.
You were calm about it. And you don't have to forgive anybody. They don't get to pick on you because you don't have a swarm of people behind you. Bullshit. I've got your back.
Of course. [she gestures to him. come here and let her be affectionate.] You've got me as long as you want me.
[as for the task, she looks a little amused.]
I don't blame you, I don't think I could've kept my mouth shut either. I - well, I didn't, so. [lmao] I'm supposed to learn a word or slang and use it wrong in public and I have no idea how to do that, so we're in the same boat.
[she can tell this is killing him but she thinks it's very funny]
Sure, uh. One world I was in had a law that made it so nobody was allowed to go into the ocean, because it was too dangerous. Not for me, though, and I had to get in there to stop the thing that was making it dangerous in the first place.
Good intentions, maybe, but the right answer is to get rid of the problem, not avoid it.

[ it takes him a minute to understand why they're furries but then there's a little snort of laughter. ]
Yeah!! I was going to! It's... ugh. I know Bucky doesn't want me arguing about crap like that, but it just... makes me really mad...

It really kind of stinks not having a group like that. So... yeah. Thanks.
[ huff... ]
I'm supposed to be listening to people I disagree with as my task right now, but... I couldn't do it with that...
[ he kind of did with rin?? he hopes that counts since he did have to make a concerted effort not to keep arguing. ugh. ]

Those are very complicated terms. [she is maybe teasing a little.]

And I know plenty of harder words than that! But these are pretty easy to say, so!

They are. I'll keep them in mind. [a beat.] You going to be able to do yours okay?
