The redness in her face faded with time, and she remembered to breath and the world had righted itself again. Different words. Her brows knit together for another round of deep thought.

Go have sex somewhere, while presumably synonymous, could not convey the same meaning, and go away lacked that assertive kick...

This was so hard.

"Can't I hit them with my hammer instead?" She already knew the answer to that.

"I don't recommend it." It was such a berserker alternative, though. He couldn't help smiling at it. "You could try 'get lost', maybe?"

[bantambrawl]

"But they might have somewhere they need to b-- oh." Right. This was being assertive and when people were in your way, it was fair if they were a little late to their appointments. They probably should have thought about that before messing with Virelai the Nameless.

"Get lost," she repeated. "I can do that."

[paladont]

God damn Virelai how do you be so adorable. He ruffled her hair. Couldn't help it. She was just begging for it. And no pigtails to mess up by doing it! "There you go," he told her. "Perfect."

[bantambrawl]

Virelai beamed with a special kind of pride because she had earned hair ruffles. Yes, excellent. These were the rewards of the assertive path. Virelai would conquer it.

"Thanks, P-- Ravi. And maybe where it's hard for you to be assertive, we can come up with different things, too!"

[paladont]

His smile dimmed a bit, because it wasn't quite as simple for him as just finding a different way to phrase things. Actively disagreeing with people you wanted to please was hard, and he hadn't figured out how to do it without upsetting anyone, and the answer to that was a little trickier than just finding language he was comfortable using. It wasn't the same as telling someone who was giving you a hard time to fuck off.

But he didn't want to kill her mood, so he said, "Maybe," and tried to sound like he actually believed it.

"I should get back to my friends." He stood, looking down to her. "You're all right now?"

[bantambrawl]

Yeah, maybe. It'd be okay, Ravindra, you'd see!

"I'm all right now," she confirmed. "I should report to the Ahura." Translation: Rhys I bit a guy on a scale of tripping to throwing someone, how awesome do you consider this behavior.

"Be careful on your way back." Not that there was anything to worry about, but she wanted something to say...!
