If we don't let Badass go, she's going to be filled with regret that she couldn't get through her card.

She wants to protect us. I didn't let her do that before, I want to let her do it this time.

But this is a few hours! This is completely different!

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It'd be worst. Not only could she last the thirty minutes, then others do longer times, making her feel weak and useless.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

But what if it's something really bad?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Then she will endure, now that she has a reason too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

I could endure too!

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It's not your ability that's in question.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

I was before her...

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It's not about you.

This is about her.

This is about her not having to regret.

Because that's all we can do in these games sometimes. Do the things that leave us with the least regret. You did your part, you did your part successfully. To ask her not to make up for her part would do her more harm than you could ever protect her from.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

Did she say that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It doesn't need to be said.

They're not hard feelings to understand. But you're getting stuck in your own.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

You can't pretend to know what she's feeling if you haven't talked to her about it.

Stop acting like I'm doing something wrong!

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It's not pretending. There are few things I'm certain of with other people's feelings. This is one of those times.

I grew up with a race that didn't use words, remember?
