(Adalwolfa) Please, I saw you kissing that person. You'll do just fine without my company for ...however long... I'm sure.

“What? I -- what did I literally just tell you? It wasn’t me!” Sammy paused, wide eyed, and shook her head. “Well, it was. One of my duplicates. So kind of me but not me, y’know? She went rogue, I couldn’t control her! Just because she kissed Kaden doesn’t mean I wanted to.” She decided to leave out the part where she didn’t exactly mind the kiss, once the memory of it pinged back into her brain when her duplicate rejoined the rest of her, for her own safety. “You can’t punish me for something I didn’t actually do.” Sammy suspected Adalwolfa wasn’t really listening to her that point -- the woman had made up her mind, and she wasn’t going to be able to change it. The expression she’d been using to plead with moments earlier hardened into a frown, and the corners of her mouth twisted downwards as she folded her arms. “Okay. I will do just fine without your company. What does it matter to me? I’ll tell you what it matters, it -- it doesn’t! Maybe I’ll just go find Kaden and see if she wants to kiss me instead. Me! Not a duplicate, like it was the first time!” The more childish side of Sammy wanted to stomp her feet and stick her tongue out at Adalwolfa, but she held that urge in and instead turned on her heel to walk away, sadness already beginning to bloom in the pit of her stomach.

(Adalwolfa) “I understand the whole sleep talking thing but what I don’t understand is the princess dragon dream and why I’m in it.”

“What?” Sammy frowned. “What’s not to understand about the princess dragon dream?” She sat back down on the bed that she’d left just minutes before, reluctantly, to pee. “I’m the princess in the tower, right? And you’re the dragon. And everyone thinks I’ve been locked up against my will and you, the dragon, is stopping me being rescued but actually you’re keeping all the creepy knights away. Because if one rescues me then I have to marry them, and we’re in love so obviously you don’t want that.” Sammy had trailed off, thinking deeper about the dream, but she eventually looked over at Adalwolfa and grinned. “See, it’s a really simple concept. Oh, also, since you’re a dragon you can breathe fire. Which is really cool, right? You get the best parts in my dreams.”

(Adalwolfa) “If you despise me so much then why do you insist on being around me?"

Sammy bit down on her lip, hard enough to almost draw blood. It wasn’t in her nature to hold herself back but this was important to her; this conversation, as frustrating and sad it made her to have. Adalwolfa was not an easy person to talk to at the best of times, and Sammy was surprised she’d agreed to have a conversation in the first place. “Because I don’t hate you. I mean, I do. I hate you so fucking much it’s unbelievable. I want to punch you in the face sometimes because you frustrate me so much.” She shook her head, pausing and swallowing before she allowed herself to continue. “But at the same time I don’t hate you at all. And I hate that. I hate that I don’t hate you even though I really should, for all this... shit. You just -- you hurt me all the time. And I don’t get why and you don’t give me a real answer.” Sammy ran trembling hands through her hair, and as much as she tried to stop her voice from shaking she couldn’t. “So I keep telling myself that I won’t let it happen again, right? I always tell myself that. I keep thinking it’ll be fine and if I just avoid you it’ll go away but I can’t do it. I never fucking can. I just always want you to speak to me and notice me and then you show up in the fucking middle of the night, expecting me to let you in and I do and it’s so stupid. Why do I always do that? You never even act like you care!” The more she spoke the more emotional she became, and tears began to fall from her eyes. Her shoulders scrunched, making herself smaller, and she took a step back from Adalwolfa like that might help her feel less hurt. “So I don’t hate you. But I hate that I don’t hate you even though I should, because you’re probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. But you’re also the best. So I can’t win here, can I? I’m... I’m just fucked, either way.”

(Adalwolfa) "Perhaps I will visit your world when you all leave."

Sammy looked over at Adalwolfa so fast she almost gave herself whiplash; the woman’s words had surprised her, and for a second she just sat there, staring with her mouth open. “Really?” Although there was a small part of Sammy’s mind wondering if they would ever be able to leave, if things on the outside would ever calm down, she tried to ignore it. “You’d like it, I think. Definitely. You’ve never had a burger, right? I’m gonna take you to get a burger. And candyfloss. And we should definitely go to a theme park or something, I’d pay to see you on a rollercoaster.” She laughed at the mental image, shaking her head and trying to think of more things to show Adalwolfa. There were a thousand things she wanted to do and a small, selfish part of her hoped the woman would like the outside better and want to stay there. Maybe, if that were the case, things could be different between them. It was Adalwolfa’s sense of duty that kept them apart, wasn’t it? If she no longer had that to worry about then they could be together. “How long do you think you’ll visit for? I need to plan.”

(Adalwolfa) "Yes, I embroider."

Sammy sat up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around her as she did so, and leaned over to get a better look at what Adalwolfa was embroidering. “Just seems like an odd kind of hobby for you. Not saying I don’t dig it, ‘cause you’ve never been anything like I expected you to be, but whatever.” She took the opportunity to scoot a little closer to the woman, placing a soft kiss on her bare shoulder before resting her own head there. “Maybe you can embroider me something sometime. You know, I actually do want a robe like yours. And I want it to say ‘Sammy is the fucking best’ on the back of it. Maybe my initials on the front of it too -- one on each nipple because there can never be too much attention on my tits, to be honest.”

(Adalwolfa) "What I did was a mistake. I was wrong, and -- I'm ready to listen now."

Of all the words Venus might have expected to come out of Adalwolfa’s mouth, those ones would have been at the bottom of the list. In fact for a second or so she was sure she might actually have imagined them -- wishful thinking on her own part, but the look on the woman’s face told her that wasn’t the case. The two of them hadn’t spoken since the incident with the baby, and Venus had made a point to avoid the other woman at all costs, because she still hadn’t gotten over it. Even so she knew the words were oddly uncharacteristic, and suspected she might have just been trying to pull some kind of trick again. But what was there to gain this time? Nothing. Adalwolfa had found Venus of her own accord and had said those words without any kind of prompting. There was no outcome that had an ulterior motive as far as she was aware. Venus slipped her bracelet back onto to her wrist, out of her hands where she’d been fiddling with it, and swallowed as she nodded at Adalwolfa. “I’m... glad you see that now. Thank you for admitting it. It probably wasn’t easy for you.” She sincerely meant those words, and hoped they didn’t sound sarcastic. “If you’re ready to listen I did have some ideas about... you know, the kids that aren’t wanted. If that’s what you meant. If it’s not then I’m not really sure what you’re ready to listen to, exactly.”

(Adalwolfa) “If you don’t rest, you won’t heal.”

“I don’t need to rest.” Alice didn’t even look at Adalwolfa, too focused on practicing with her power instead. Her arms ached and her mind hurt, like a headache but deeper, and more than once her vision had begun to blur and black out before she could compose herself. Stopping and resting was perhaps the only thing she should have been doing right then but she couldn’t. Too much to do. I have to get better. She had always been good with her power, always a little better than average, but never before had she felt the urgent need to be perfectly in control of it at all times. She had never felt like she needed to push herself to the limit before. But there were people she needed to protect and although she knew powers weren’t always a sure thing, it was what made her feel better. As long as she had even a fraction of her ability she could do some damage, even if she wasn’t the best fighter or strongest person around. Alice paused, blinking as the dizzying sensation returned and her vision began to fade, trying to regulate her breathing and grit her teeth through the pain. She took the opportunity to turn towards Adalwolfa, blinking as the blackness faded from in front of her, and rubbed at her wrist. “If you’re not going to help me then you don’t need to be here.”

(Adalwolfa) "Did... you just squeeze my ass?"

Sammy looked at Adalwolfa, eyes wide as she tilted her head. “Me? Squeeze your ass? What kind of person do you take me for?” She had, actually, squeezed Adalwolfa’s ass a second before -- and had assumed the older woman wouldn’t have felt it. None of the Ermengardes seemed to feel her at all when she touched them, or perhaps didn’t notice, even if she walked right into one of them. Her hands were clasped behind her back and that was where they stayed as she shook her head, swaying back and forth on the balls of her feet. “I think you just want me to squeeze your ass. Why would you say it if you weren’t thinking about it? I mean, I’m sure I could fit in some time in my busy schedule for that but you’ll have to let me know when the best time for you is.”
