[I'm so sorry for this, but Taako struck a nerve in Chuuya.]

That's really fucking easy for you to say, when you're on the side that's in the know. Is it really that hard to understand why someone would want to know the truth of why their friend died?

[disreguarded]

Hey, fuck off. It's so easy for you to just make judgements! No matter who we played darts with, it would've hurt somebody. You don't get to fucking judge anybody, you haven't had to --

[ please sOMEONE STOP HER ]

[ruffboi]

[Grabbing her.]

Beau. [With a harsh expression, for once.]

Stop.

[disreguarded]

I'm so - sick of --

[ she swallows hard. she doesn't shake him off, though. ]

[ruffboi]

I know. I know.

[He relaxes his grip when she doesn't fight.]

It's not like we sat around and had a fun time, or even knew shit all about anything most of the time.

[daifukus]

Beau.

[ just. gently. ]

[disreguarded]

[ :c sorry spear dad ]

[daifukus]

[ gives her head pats ]

It's alright now.

[givethemhell]

[YEAH HE'S IMMEDIATELY LEAPING IN, he will grab Beau's hand again if he isn't already holding it.]

Beau...

[disreguarded]

A-Sang said if it wasn't us, it would've been someone else. I don't see why it's so fucking hard to have a little understanding.

[ she says, frustrated, but wei wuxian is a calming force, so. she looks away. ]

[survivaltricks]

. . . [looking over at her like :(]

[shortforever]

[I'm so sorry, he's going to snap at her now.]

And YOU don't get to decide who is and isn't upset about someone dying! Murder is murder, regardless of the reason. And it's always going to leave someone hurt.

If you're really killing people for the greater good, then at least accept your judgement for it.

[chaoticlootral]

I— don’t think any of us are saying we don’t accept that, my dude? We’re just saying to please just shove it deep down inside for, like, a week or two, while we solve the problem of everyone dying first, please?

[survivaltricks]

[AAAAAAAAH]

[it is not that he disagrees with either side, here-- it's Chuuya's right to be hurt and angry, and everyone else's right to be tired, but]

[he just]

[GRABS CHUUYA'S SLEEVE AND DRAGS HIM AWAY, NO FIGHTING]

[granted he is hobbling on one crutch to do this so like, take that as you will]

[fishingforcompliments]

...I do not think anyone here is unwilling to accept judgment for what is happening.

[Flayn is sure willing to accept whatever anyone is going to throw at her. Actions do have consequences.]

But... Everyone should have the chance to cast that judgment. Including the people that have already been killed.

So we need to... We need to save them, first. We can be dealt with after.

[survivaltricks]

Chuuya.

[reaching to grab his sleeve]

[shortforever]

[He is! Angry! But he'll stop now.]

I know! Fine.

[survivaltricks]

[HE'S GOING TO SAY SOMETHING BUT HE IS DRAGGING CHUUYA AWAY IN ANOTHER TAG FIRST]

[chaoticlootral]

My dude, I didn’t know shit about fuck until like, last Friday.

[ruffboi]

. . . I get where you're coming from.

[He'll answer him. He doesn't fully disagree, as he can read from his serious expression.]

It's two sides of one shitty coin, yeah? One side gets to know, and even has the power to do some shit to protect the people they love. But they also get put through hell and risk their lives. The other side doesn't know anything, including whether they'll lose their lives, or whether they'll lose the people they love.

I don't think it's right, or what any of us are saying, that the first group had it worse. I think we're saying that it's all bad.

[shortforever]

Just-

[He isn't even mad at Magnus here, it's just hard to stop once he's started being mad.]

Something's gotta change. That's why you all came together, yeah? So things can change.

[ruffboi]

Exactly. We didn't exactly think you were gonna throw us a parade or anything.

[Smiling a little at that.]

You can be mad about it. But we also would really like to not have to keep doing this. One way or another, it's not gonna stop until either two teams are dead or we've found a different way to save ourselves.

[givethemhell]

[Magnus already said most of what he wanted to, so he'll just quietly add:]

We do understand. If people choose to seek answers or retribution later, I don't think many of us would deny them what they're looking for. But for now, we can only do and say so much - and what all of us want is to deliver everyone from this place safely.

[shortforever]

[He's still really mad over this. But WWX has always been a voice of reason, and that gets him to calm down a bit.]

Alright, fine. If it gets everyone out safely, then I'll deal with it.

[givethemhell]

[He does try his best to do exactly that! He offers a little quirk of a smile, wry as it is.]

Thank you. Trust me - I understand the anger, and I'd certainly do nothing to stop you from venting it fully if we didn't have- [VAGUELY WAVES A HAND.] -other things at hand, you know? [...] Want a drink?
