more then anything

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

Then he owes it to you to know what he's getting you into.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

no on can owe that

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

If somebody trusted me and I was going to ask them to do something dangerous, it'd be on me to know how dangerous the situation is and give them the information they need to get it done and get out in one piece.

If you trust him he's got a responsibility not to let you down.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

you have it the wrong way round i cant let him down

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

No, my friend. If it means anything at all it has to go both ways.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

when he asks me to do something its becaus he believes i can do it. hes not the one letting down if i cant

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

But what if he thinks you can do it because he's wrong about what it is? The fault is not yours if you are facing an impossible task.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

failures still failure. hes the one that can make the choices so thats how it is. when it comes down to it thats all that matters. maybe got eaten by the shadows in the end but it might at least have given an extra second

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

Yeah. That's where his responsibility comes in. If he's making the choices you deserve for him to make the best choices he can.

Because you know you're not expendable, right?

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

oof course i am

thats the point

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

Think he'd say that if I asked him?

[It's not that he thinks Fitz's Doctor fixation is good for him, but he doesn't think that the Doctor doesn't care. The way Fitz talks about him, he's careless but not uncaring.]

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

Dont he doesnt know you have to promise not to say anything

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

I won't. C'mon, man.

If you don't want him to know you think you're expendable, you know he doesn't think you are.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

obviously doesnt hes the best. good person doesnt think about expendable so he doesnt do those caculations. especially not with friends and we are.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

Before he started hanging out with you guys, did he usually go it alone?

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

no he doesnt like traveling alone. sam said hes less real if hes alone but i think its just more fun.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

So. You're not doing him any favors by thinking it's your job to do whatever he asks and he doesn't have to think about whether it's gonna get you killed.

If he's giving the orders he's the one who has to think about how dangerous they are and whether you're expendable. Otherwise, he's the one who's going to fuck up real bad and have to live with that.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

if he had to live with it i wouldn't exist

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

what?

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

[It's a few hours before there's any response, when Fitz wakes up from something close enough to sleep to a moderate level of regret. And much steadier typing.]

Sorry about that. I'm sure someone has said that the invention of text was a mistake. While they were probably wrong in the specifics, there may have been something like a point.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

How's the head?

[because given how drunk he probably was a few hours ago, he's got to have a thundering hangover now....]

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

Currently: getting hit with a comedy, giant hammer sounds really appealing.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[wildguardian]

Ouch. I think I've got some hangover pills around here somewhere if you want one.

I promise not to bring up any drunken conversations in the light of day, according to the ancient code of alcohol conduct.

Re: [the day after their post-flood conversation]

[everythinglost]

I'd honor you as a scholar and a gentleman, but I'm pretty sure the ancient code says that's only fair play if you have a conversation with someone who's already very drunk.

So I'll just say the pills would be appreciated.
