[

rubs at it with a :T ]

Why?

You don't do regret. So don't do regret, and let me thank you.

[ ah, geez. he laughs though ]

I just don't need to be thanked for something like this, that's all.

Tough.

If you thank me for causing trouble, I'll keep doing it, y'know.

[ he was going to keep doing it anyway. ]

Oh no.

[ she's literally looking at her nails. ]

Just don't get injured.

I'll do my best.

That's better than a no.

Hey, I don't actually care for getting injured more than anyone else does.

Still. A reminder doesn’t hurt.

It's not like I can even get injured most of the time.

[ in anti-power jail. yes. he can. but STILL ]

I whole-heartedly believe in your ability to get yourself into trouble.

You could have a little more faith in my ability to get out of trouble, too.

[ but only a little. ]

Where did I say I didn’t?

[ get into trouble, get out of trouble. ]

Although please don’t jailbreak. We’re probably going to need as many of us as possible not behind bars while we deal with whatever weird backlash there is tomorrow.

... I won't promise I won't try again if I feel like it's necessary.

[ sorry he has learned nothing except to go about it in a different way so it succeeds ]

[ pfft. ]

I mean breaking yourself out once you’re caught, Ace. [ she’s law enforcement. stop telling people to break into jails, tama. ] I don’t think there’s a legal loophole out there that can minimise the fall out from breaking into and then out of a jail once caught.

[ multiple attempts to bust someone out are also not great for the legal loopholes but— y’know. she’s fighting battles she has a minor chance of winning. ]

Oh, that. We're out tomorrow anyway. I can wait. [ shrugging a little ] As far as prisons go, this isn't so bad.

I hear they even feed you.

Yeah. Three times a day and everything!

[ this is normal. ]

…

I mean, that’s pretty standard. If a prisoner dies on a jail’s watch, it’s a bad look for them. Like, enquiry, public interrogation, loss of trust and financial fines bad.

Oh I see we have very different prisons.

[ stares ]

Why, do yours just leave you to die…?

[ thinks of how many people can hear this conversation ]

It's a little more complicated than that?

[ why isn't this a yes or no answer. ]

[ do you ever get the feeling the conversation isn’t over, despite the other person not continuing it?

good news, ace. ]

[ uh-oh ]
