[ doesn't budge. she's a strong as she looks. ]

Why are you so keen on takin' the punch?

[ IS IT REALLY SO HARD FOR YOU TO RESPECT MY WISHES GODSDAMNIT ]

[carptricks]

[gd you people stronger than he is]

Who said that's what I'm trying to accomplish here?

[carnatious]

[ You can practically hear the raised eyebrows ]

Gonna give ya one chance for a straight answer before I find someone else to punch.

[carptricks]

[:I!]

Because you're the one not giving me straight answers.

[carnatious]

Y'are aware that makes no sense, right?

Most people'd be pretty damn happy to hear I don't wanna punch 'em.

[carptricks]

You're saying that like I want to be punched. You're missing the point!

[still struggling]

I've never met you before now, and yet I'm supposedly "off limits" for some reason you won't elaborate on. You can't blame me for wanting to know-- nor can you blame me for being willing to take a punishment for the sake of the team.

[ STILL HOLDING ON plz don't accidentally make me snap your wrist, Kit ]

... You look a li'l like somebody I used to know.

[carptricks]

[HE'S BEING CAREFUL]

. . . I take it you don't mean Kudo.

[carnatious]

Don't mean anybody you might know.

[carptricks]

Jinx?

[just a shot in the dark, here]

[carnatious]

Hah. No. Like I said, kid—they're nobody you'd know.

[carptricks]

. . . [hm]

Just checking. I've met Jinx, that's why I ask.

[carnatious]

[ Makes a dismissive ehhhhn sound ]

You gonna swing for me again if I let go?
