Scoffing, it was hard for Mercy to take anything the girl in front of him was saying seriously. Too far gone, drunk and feral from the adrenaline pumping through his veins after the fight, he was merely excited to rile her up more. Apparently, he’d pushed a button in her accidentally, and his goal was to see what other ones he could find, “Yeah, you kinda feed into it without trying. It’s genuinely impressive. The scores are up, judges give you a 10/10,” Mercy’s nonchalant tone was on purpose - though he really did find the entire scenario hilarious, the grin on his face was breezy and dismissive. He got into arguments like this out of boredom, this felt more like a performance at this point, “Wanna know why people love to see you fail? Because it’s so fucking easy. We’re all a giant fucking succubus, if there’s someone beneath you wouldn’t you love to see them fail, too? Makes ya feel all warm inside. This conversation is fucking embarrassing, entertaining it is making me feel a bit ashamed but you just make it so. Fucking. Easy. Grow a backbone, maybe then people won’t walk all over you,” Holding his arms out in a Duh sort of gesture, Mercy immediately leaned over the sink between them so that he could spit blood into the basin, “No, they don’t. And if they do, it’s because that girl’s referred to as maid. Something along those lines. Are you my maid? Gonna clean up my face and then the sink? Make sure it’s all tidy? Bet if I asked enough you’d cave and do it. Pathetic.”
impressive without trying was a new one that delilah didn’t give herself much credit for, because every word that fell out of the asshole’s mouth made her feel more and more like complete garbage. deep down, past the overzealous drunk girl, trying her best to break out of a cell that contained her, her rebel streak wasn’t quite what it seemed. and she was still just that pathetic girl that probably tried too hard in an attempt to get people to see her. with everything he was saying, she didn’t want to take it at face value, but she was neither prepared nor drunk enough to be facing reality this hard. “no. i don’t...i don’t believe you. people don’t walk all over me because i let them. it’s because...i care too much. fuck i care way too much. even now, with you. i don’t want to see you fail man, and i hardly even know you.” she watched from the wall, trying not to let her thoughts consume her, anxiety creeping back into the cage of her heart as she gulped down a steadying breath. “i’m not pathetic!” she tried, pathetically, tremors of palpitations hitting her as she brought her shaky hands together, tensing them as much as she could, losing her composure and rationale. “i just want to be good.”
