Then stop being so bloody stubborn.

[redatheart]

[he's just giving her a look]

[hyanaimne]

[IGNORING THE LOOK and sliding down the wall to sit, knees drawn up. It makes it easier to hide in her cloak, too]

[redatheart]

[again, he doesn't try to get up in her space or make her look at him or anything.

but after a few minutes of silence, he sighs]

Clover. We have to make a decision, or we both die.

[hyanaimne]

[she folds her arms on her knees and drops her head to rest on top of them. Her voice is muffled when she speaks up]

Choose something else to give up. I won't let you sacrifice your memories of Nadia.

[redatheart]

Nothing else is important enough. I have learned my lesson, there.

[because that's what akasha said, right? about them learning their lesson from the first time]

[hyanaimne]

[nnnot lifting her head]

That's why you should just let me give up what I want, you stubborn old fool.

[a breath] I saw what giving up one's memories of someone here did. I don't - want to deal with that.

[subtly saying that her memories of him are the most important and she doesn't want to hurt him. Y'know, more than she already has today]

[redatheart]

[right and letting her die for him absolutely won't hurt him]

Absolutely not.

Besides, that's why my giving up my memories of Nadia makes the most sense. It hurts no one here.

[except possibly him]

[hyanaimne]

Except you.

[like she isn't calling him on his bullshit again]

[redatheart]

Perhaps. It is a risk I'm willing to take.

[hyanaimne]

"Perhaps"? Did you not tell me she was someone you cared very deeply for?

[redatheart]

...She was, yes.

[he's absolutely not telling her that he married Nadia rn]

[hyanaimne]

Then don't lie. [she lifts her head, finally, to glare at him] If you are so determined to give up those memories, then be honest about what will happen.

[redatheart]

I have never given up memories of someone before, I don't know what will happen.

[but yeah no he's smart enough to know that he'd feel bad about it after he regained them]

[hyanaimne]

I imagine you will regret doing it and feel guilty over it. [in a tone that is trying to be light, but comes out tight instead]
