TWELVE | VIDEO

[imaythrowuponyou]

[Bones clicks on the video to show him sitting in his room with about five other fake, cooing tribbles sitting on his desk, in several different colors. The one you all saw a few days ago he handed off to Jane, but he got a couple more of them over the course of the flood.

But, at least he's an adult again, back in clothes that fit, and that's sort of good enough for him. Besides, the cooing is kind of pleasant.]

I've got more of these fake tribbles than anyone could ever want, thanks to that flood. If anyone feels like adopting one of 'em, I'd be happy to hand one over.

And Cat, I think we'd better talk.

Not where I'm from. [Yes, yes, make fun of him all you want.]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She will. c:] You're a southron. [And she's busy thinking how she isn't sure WHAT to think about that when she realizes it shouldn't matter. She slides of his back, into the snow.]

And I'm no one.

[imaythrowuponyou]

[He turns around to look at her, but doesn't stand up.] I still don't understand why you're so damn insistent you're no one.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Because I need to be Faceless. [She gives him a weird look, because she's seen her file.]

You know why.

[imaythrowuponyou]

But you're here now. You don't have to be no one.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I want to be. [It's a lie, and she starts chewing on her lip.]

[imaythrowuponyou]

You're sure? [He sees that lip chewing, missy.]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Yes. [Well fine. :| She makes herself stop, straightening.] I'm no one. And I want to join the Faceless Men.

[imaythrowuponyou]

And you don't want to be yourself, even if you can be here?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[...And back to the lip chewing.] Arya Stark has to be dead.

[imaythrowuponyou]

Why does she have to be?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Lannisters can come here.

[imaythrowuponyou]

And if they do, they're gonna have to deal with a lot of people who want to keep you safe. And from what I've read, they're gonna be inmates, and are gonna have to realize [What assholes they've been, but you're still a kid so we're going with the G Rated version:] they were wrong.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I'm not scared. [And that's actually true. What she's afraid of is never getting her revenge.] And that isn't enough!

[imaythrowuponyou]

And revenge is really worth giving up everything you had, just because they might show up here? Don't you ever miss just being yourself?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

It's not for if they show up here! [She kicks some snow at him, stomping away a few feet before turning back.] It's worth it!

[imaythrowuponyou]

Why?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I'll be whoever I have to be to kill them.

[imaythrowuponyou]

But what's going to happen to you if you do kill all of them? What's left?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[Oh. That question she's been avoiding. :\] I don't know. It doesn't matter, I can do anything I want, then.

[imaythrowuponyou]

Like what? [Sorry he's going to push you on this. :|]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I don't know yet! [Bones you're a dick.] I can figure that out later!

[imaythrowuponyou]

Alright. [And he is really starting to want to head back inside and change into something not wet and freezing.] I'm still gonna call you Cat until you decide you'd rather go with something else.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[Weak. But she's getting cold too, so.] I am Cat.
