Week 3, post-execution; Hiro

[sylfied]

[ What a day. More precisely, what a couple of days, and Fie can't really think of a word to describe everything that's happened beyond "bad". But with so many deaths fresh on her mind, it's hardly the time to try and nap everything away. Instead, ice cream in hand, Fie takes to wandering in the off-chance that she'll either find a quiet spot to think or she'll come across someone she doesn't mind seeing.

It's the latter this time, when she spots Hiro, and her quiet sigh is pretty much inaudible as she approaches. ]

Hiro.

I know. Back where you're from, how did you get people to stop fighting? [Is that a thing that even occurred?]

[sylfied]

... Well, it was more that we just worked on minimizing casualties.

[ NOT VERY WELL. ]

[zerotohiro]

Even that would work considering where we are. Anything you can think of we can apply here?

[sylfied]

... Threatening to beat them up?

[zerotohiro]

...do you think anybody would take us seriously if we did that? [No, kids.]

[sylfied]

Only if you followed through with it.

[zerotohiro]

We could try to follow through with it but there are a lot of tall people on the island. We'll think of something else.

[sylfied]

Size isn't everything.

[ did you not see her take on Jaffar, sometimes you just need a good shot at the crotch. ]

[zerotohiro]

Then how about I be the brains and you be the brawn of the operation? [Yes he absolutely did, but he's also used to outsmarting people instead of beating them up. Let him live.]

[sylfied]

... Sure. I can swing that.

[zerotohiro]

Then we've got a plan for the week. [There's a flash of a grin, but...]

...I'm not ready to head back yet. Are you?

[sylfied]

[ a pause-- and then she shakes her head. ]

Nope, not really.

[zerotohiro]

Cool. The oasis it is, then. [And he'll lead on so long as there are no objections. Everybody can mourn over what just happened. But hiding out for a while doesn't sound like a bad deal either.]
