[clearly. though admittedly that's exactly what she was probably going to do]

I will, just- [she looks down, taking a deep breath. It really wouldn't be a good idea to tell him how much trouble Kanaya, Sollux and John were in. What had already happened.] We'll save them. We did before. But you have to... you have to be around to help.

[caligulasaqua]

But me just sittin' here doesn't help anyone. It doesn't even help me 'cause then I just worry about everythin' and then I'm gonna explode or somethin'. I'd rather help you.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

You can help! Not if you go explode though. [she glances up] I don't- I'm not sure anyone can help, not right now. She still- they still have people. John's twin and Patchouli's are too strong...

[she frowns, shaking her head and grabbing his arm.] Hey, let's focus on something else, ok? For now.

[caligulasaqua]

...Fine. If you want to. [of course he's gone right back to beeping because now he's worried about her again. but he doesn't even pay it much attention because really, he's gotten kind of used to it sporadically making itself known what with all his emotions and everything. :|]

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

[Darn it, she was hoping to focus on something to keep that beeping from starting again. Man this was going to be tricky. Darn, no good feelings and emotions.]

Were you human last week? [She forces a smile. It was hard not to continue fretting over this week but if it was to keep Eridan alive she'd do it in a heart beat] I can't really remember seeing you.

[caligulasaqua]

Yeah, I was. And it was fuckin' stupid.

Except the magic part. That part was pretty awesome.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Magic- wait were you a wizard?

[caligulasaqua]

Yeah. And a pretty awesome one, too.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

[she has to smile a bit at that] And I didn't get to see? Shoot, did you have a hat and robe and everything?

[caligulasaqua]

Of course I did, it'd be pretty hard to be a proper wizard without those. It was pretty awesome. Rose was one too.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised your not carping about being a human for so long. It wasn't so bad, hm?

[caligulasaqua]

Well, that part sucked. A lot.

But if I had to be a human at least I wasn't just some mug- I mean, normal one. That would have sucked.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

What was it like? Being human I mean- besides 'awful' or 'terrible.' [She tries to say those two words in Eridan's normal tone.]

[caligulasaqua]

I guess it was alright, some of the time. Mostly 'cause I didn't know I'd ever been anythin' else so I thought I was pretty much the most awesome person around.

...It wasn't really too different from bein' a troll, though, really, except for not bein' as great as I am now. I guess there was less killin' people too. [and less romance drama, although he's not going to say that to her right now. :| the beeping starts up again when he thinks about that, although it dies down again pretty fast.]

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Duh, if you were a wizard you wouldn't be like that guy in the movie, the snake one. [This was a little awkward to say considering he apparently killed her. She brushes past that, now was definitely not the time.]

Eridan- [The beeping makes her frown but when it dies down she relaxes.]

[caligulasaqua]

[Because just being a huge blood purist is totally better, obviously.] I guess so. I think he had kinda the right idea, though.

[of course, just her pointing out the beeping starts it up again because now he's thinking about it again. and he really doesn't want to blow up, not now with Fef watching and it just isn't stopping yet.]

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

[Muggle genocide doesn't sound like him at all either :|]

[When the beeping starts again she tentatively grasps his arm. Grabbing his hand was a little strange considering where they were.] Tell me more about it! What was it like doing magic, huh?

[caligulasaqua]

[of course not you must be thinking of someone else. Eridan would never try to genocide people that aren't as good as him.]

[And physical contact with Fef is probably not a great thing here since it does absolutely nothing to stop the beeping. But questions, okay, he can focus on that. Maybe. It's just like when he was talking to Ter earlier.] It was okay. I guess. It'd be better if I could still do it.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, I always mistake him for people like that no good Kanaya, dropping the matriorb right in the way of a blast of science. Some people man.]

[Being a touchy-feely person makes it hard for her not to touch to try and make him feel better. Oh troll romance, you make life so exciting.] Maybe you can! You should glub at that wizard guy, you know? I can't remember his name... the one who wanted to show off tricks!

[caligulasaqua]

[Exactly, it is completely everyone else's fault and Eridan is blameless as always. He is a very selfless and kind person.]

Yeah, maybe. I guess. I dunno if it's really somethin' I could learn though, it's kinda special and shit. [and no more beeping!]

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

[if only the world conformed to his ideal world view. Also she grins a little- victory! Beeping temporarily stopped]

You could try! I mean what makes a wizard and wizard anyway?

[caligulasaqua]

Well, it's just somethin' you're born with. And your blood's important, too, 'cause if you aren't a pureblood then you suck.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Bluh, blood. [she rolls her eyes] Even human wizards have stuff with it, huh?

[caligulasaqua]

Of course they do. Blood is always important.

[cuttlefishcull.livejournal.com]

Not for humans! Normal humans at least, I mean not in Eddie's world what I can remember.
