I suppose that’s true, but it doesn’t change that it will happen.

[fluidgender]

[She glowers.]

Yeah, well, I don't wanna hear about "inevitable" things.

[phoenix_temple]

I just think it’s best to prepare yourself for these things?

[fluidgender]

I think its better to prepare for a fight than to give up.

[phoenix_temple]

I hadn’t realized my presence was such a burden!

[fluidgender]

You're the one talkin' like I should treat ya like an object!

[phoenix_temple]

You should treat me like a constant. Keeping you safe keeps me safe now, haven’t you realized?

[fluidgender]

...I guess. But that doesn't mean I hafta like the circumstances about it.

[phoenix_temple]

Why do you dislike them so much? It was my choice.

[fluidgender]

Hardly a choice when they take away your other options.

[phoenix_temple]

Honestly. I’m happy I can continue father’s work. And I’m glad that my master is kind and understanding… I think I got very lucky over all.

[fluidgender]

Ya shouldn't have to be forced to rely on luck for a good life...

[phoenix_temple]

Isn’t everyone though? The luck of the family you’re born into or the country or even the time.

[fluidgender]

All the more to try and do things with your own hands as much as possible. The less you can leave up to luck, the better.

[phoenix_temple]

Then why is my accepting my role and trying my best not enough?

[fluidgender]

Ain't ya still just accepting the situation bad luck put ya in?

[phoenix_temple]

I don’t think it was bad luck.

[fluidgender]

Just cause you're lucky to work with me doesn't make the overall situation great.

[phoenix_temple]

Then we can both work to make it better.

[fluidgender]

[Huffs arrogantly.] Obviously! It'd be horrible to leave a situation like this...

[phoenix_temple]

[ She claps her hands once, pleasantly. ] Good! Then it’s decided. You don’t need to be upset any longer, as we’ll improve the situation together!

[fluidgender]

Yeah!

[She pauses, frowning, double-taking at Fuu. Wait. That sounds a lot like she flipped her frustration into some kind of optimistic positive...]

[phoenix_temple]

[ She beams and giggles softly at the double take. ]

[fluidgender]

Well ain't you awful proud of yourself...

[phoenix_temple]

I’m very good at helping people be optimistic.
