[ katara is seated in front of the bonfire, cooking... well, fish. fish is probably like 90% of everyone's diet at this point honestly.

I guess... like society might get all messed up?

[ ... ]

More messed up, in this case.

[vipmix]

Something like that. Society's a lot more fragile than it looks.

[seaclipsed]

Maybe.

But it can always rise up again, I think.

[vipmix]

Hmmm, well... Yours doesn't sound too far gone yet, if there are still people willing to change it.

[seaclipsed]

I think there's always people willing to change it. It just depends on what their circumstances are and if they can take the chance to try.

[vipmix]

Do you think so? People as a whole can be awfully complacent.

[seaclipsed]

In my travels I met a lot of people who wanted to fight, but they weren't able to because of the situation they were in. It wasn't until they got outside help that they were able to start resisting.

[vipmix]

I don't think comparing war-torn people to the kind of thing I'm used to works, but I appreciate the attempt to convince me of your point of view.

[seaclipsed]

Well, what are you used to? Outside of... your game.

[vipmix]

Just your regular city, filled with people who only care about themselves.

[chill josh that was near bitter]

[seaclipsed]

... do you want that to change?

[ it sounded like a Feeling ]

[vipmix]

It'd be interesting if it did for sure. But I wouldn't bet on it.

[wah waaaaaah]

[seaclipsed]

You never know. People can be surprising.

[vipmix]

Not from my experience.

[seaclipsed]

Well... there's always time to have new experiences!

[vipmix]

If we don't all die horribly here, sure.

[irony]

[seaclipsed]

Well. We'll see. But I'll try to make sure you don't die.

[ lmao ]

[vipmix]

Me?

[he sounds amused]

We're not partners, Katara. I'm not your responsibility. I get that you're ... noble, but I don't need protection.

[lmao]

[seaclipsed]

Well, I can't promise you protection. But I like you enough, and I wouldn't be happy if you died.

[ LMAO ]

[vipmix]

[that sure is a new sentiment to hear out loud, and he looks positively amused by it]

Are you really sure you should say that, when you don't know that much about me yet?

[seaclipsed]

If I only did something like that for people I knew, I wouldn't be that great at helping others.

[vipmix]

You're also not usually in a position where everyone you talk to might try to kill you, down the line. We just discussed this, try to keep up.

[seaclipsed]

If you stay paranoid and don't trust anyone then you're also not going to go very far either though.

[vipmix]

And you're putting me on the trust list? Wow~ I'm flattered.

[seaclipsed]

Oh, don't make it weird.
