[For you, maybe. Well, yeah, he and other dead people are going to think a little better of this world. Hard not to. For most of the others, though, it's probably hard not to focus on what you've given up. But it's still a bad idea to reject it all. And especially to do it so recklessly.]

What, you're just going to march up to the Porter and demand it send you home? [Because that will go well.]

[adamantlyardent]

Oh, shut up! I'm not that stupid! [okay, maybe she is, but! not that he up and said it like that!

now embarrassed, she starts to trot ahead, as if she can ever outpace those awful long legs of his.]

I'm getting out of this awful city! Leave me alone!

[mycrosstobear]

[He doesn't say anything in response this time, just turning his eyes upwards and sighing briefly. And adjusting his pace to keep up, staying a step or two behind her shoulder.

He's still not leaving. He's kept up with even more troublesome idiots before.]

[adamantlyardent]

[such a gesture would be heartwarming to her in better states of mind, but as it stands? she's more frustrated than ever. as if his refusal to leave her be is just further cementing her stupidity, judging her, bullying her. as if anything she says or does is futile! this damn man...]

This is all just hilarious to you, isn't it? Is this how you spend your time? Following people who don't want you around?

[mycrosstobear]

[The thing is, if she didn't want other people around, she wouldn't be so upset about someone leaving, would she?

The worst thing in the world might be being alone. Even if you're an incredibly aggravating elf.] It's not funny.

[adamantlyardent]

Pathetic, then? Or are you just expecting me to go off and, and...and, I don't know, blow up a building or something? Like I'm that unhinged?! [she lets out another loud, frustrated huff.]

If you're going to be stalking me, you may as well say why!

[mycrosstobear]

No, I just think you're going to throw more things. [He snaps. Okay, yes, she's upset. But stalking? Seriously?]

[adamantlyardent]

[grumbling:] Yeah right...you don't know me at all. [because just throwing the one thing really wiped her out! gods. she's tired. and chilly. and unhappy!! EVERYTHING SUCKS AND ISN'T FAIR.]

[mycrosstobear]

So what should I expect you to do? Other than try to walk out of city without any preparation? [It’s more tired than exasperated, now. What is he doing here?]

[adamantlyardent]

I don't know I'll-! I'll...! [huff! puff! and whine some more!

or, no. wait.] I'llllll call Finn! Yes. [oh, this is actually not a bad idea.] Yes, he can...he can get me out of here in a blink! Away from this, all--all this. Yes. I'll do that.

[by gods she will! she'll even stop moving to rummage around for her phone!]
