Does nothing go through that head of yours? I said, I'm not leaving here without you alive!

You don't even like me!

What the fuck are you talking about!?

My own father didn't care this much about keeping me alive, so why would you!

Do I look like your fucking father!?

It doesn't make sense!

YOU DON'T MAKE SENSE!!

You're the one- People don't do this! They climb over each other and trample other's dreams to make theirs reality, you can survive by putting me in the firing line and I've always been in the firing line I've always been prepared to die unlike you but you're- You're not... You're so willing to throw all the others out there under your feet to survive but for someone you don't even like, for someone who's already offered theirs up, you're risking your life...

Why wouldn't I, dumbass!? [crumpling up her jacket into a ball and chucking it at her ] And I never said I hated you! Gods! What's so fucking hard to understand—if I hated you, I wouldn't be trying to keep you alive!

[But you did tell me you didn't like me and rejected me a lot and now you're just. You. Catches the jacket, clutching it to her chest and struck completely mute. What do I say here.]

[i don't care so much as you don't start crying]

[rolling his eyes and going back to ~planning~ 8I]

[I'M NOT GOING TO CRY YOU JERK ignore that I have panic attacks upon finding out that people like me in canon I'm fine!!!

Listening to you plan with her and wow you really suck at that she's not helpful at all. Ugh this ruins everything because I can't just let you die if you're not going to agree I don't want to play this game I don't want to play this game I'd rather just die but you're not allowed to!!

...I know what I can offer up that would be worth our lives 8(]

[i'm pretty sure we don't actually know what panic attacks are where i'm from so you carry on..being a wimp..or something??]

[silent for a while, before:]

I'm going to make the deal.

[YOU ARE A JERK THORFINN]

What are you going to offer?

[with clenched fists]

Strength. My strength.

[if i ever told you about my home culture this would be largely significant]

[I don't need to know about your home culture to know it means a lot to you]

...I'll give up my voice.

That's worth your life?

Singing is illegal in my world. People are constantly trying to kill me and my friends because we won't silence ourselves. Yes, it's worth more than my life.

[. . . that's entirely way too much information for me]

Fine. So long as we get out of here in one piece.

[I don't want to get out of here in one piece I just want you to get out in one piece!! Turns her gaze aside, silent again]

This had better work.

It will.
