Re: 2/2

[sparklequeen]

Yeah. Are you going to be okay?

[notathreat]

[Ellie hasn't been any semblance of okay since he died, but admitting that is a little much right now.]

Okay-okay or can I keep my shit together okay

[sparklequeen]

Can you keep your shit together okay?

[ Glimmer is pretty sure 'okay-okay' isn't in the cards right now. ]

[notathreat]

[Ellie's tempted to lie, but if there was anything Joel drilled into her, it was being honest about injuries, potential liabilities. At this point, it's a liability.]

Solid maybe.

[sparklequeen]

Alright. Thanks for telling me.

[ And she means it. ]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[notathreat]

Yeah, and fuck if I know.

Just this, I guess. Talking.

[sparklequeen]

I can definitely do that. I'll keep you company as much as you need.

[notathreat]

You too.

[sparklequeen]

Of course. That's what friends are for. Now more than ever we need to look out for each other.

[notathreat]

If you uh

want to meet him, you can

Once everything settles anyway

[sparklequeen]

I'd like that. He's important to you, so knowing him would be good.

[notathreat]

He'd probably like you, actually. He doesn't mind women who can boss him.

[sparklequeen]

I see why he likes you then.

[ Ellie is very forceful and in charge and that is very good as far as Glimmer is concerned. ]

[notathreat]

[Ellie snorts a little, not that Glimmer can hear.]

I was a snotnosed kid with an attitude. I gave him hell on the daily.

[sparklequeen]

Why do you sound like me when I was a kid?

[notathreat]

Shit, if we'd met when we were younger we would've gotten into all kinds of trouble.

[sparklequeen]

Oh, we totally would have. 100%.

[notathreat]

Water-gun fights in the castle halls?

[sparklequeen]

Wait, wait. What are WATER-GUNS?

[notathreat]

Okay, you REALLY missed out. It's
It's like a gun, but it shoots water. It's a toy

[sparklequeen]

oh my goodness. mom is so lucky i didn't have that when i was a kid, i would have been the worst.

[notathreat]

I WAS the worst. In a military base. 13 and zero sense of self preservation

[sparklequeen]

oh my gods how did you not get your butt kicked daily??

[notathreat]

oh dude I fully did
that's how I got kicked out of a lot of schools
fighting I mean, not water guns
the water guns were a one time thing

[sparklequeen]

you're a fighter, so that tracks.

i wish i'd had a friend like you when i was younger.
