[Taako violently sits up in his bed as soon as she busts in, all of his limbs out with the grace of a startled cat. He just barely avoids smacking his head against the ceiling before he gets his act together to glance down at Lup.]
Holy fuck you're loud. And uh, if you just found pudding in one of your shoes, that was not me, it was Ango.
[It was him. But this conversation is not about that, as he's about to figure out.]
it's a good thing she can just fly because Lup trying to climb in this state would probably result in a severe and totally embarrassing injury. But she just floats up off the ground, only so she can plant herself facedown in her bed, head to her pillow, and scream again. It's only after all of that is out that she looks over to her twin and barely explains herself.]
Taako watches as Lup makes her entire scene, flopping down on his stomach towards her. With their beds so close, sleeping head to head, he can stretch his legs here while still being able to reach her. So he holds his pillow in his arms as he lays down, letting it cushion his chest.]
Ooh c'mon babe, you gotta give me deets. Who finally fuckin' blew it now, we can start drawin' up revenge plans stat.
[Around someone else, he might hide the way his eyebrows shoot up on his face, the slight excitement creeping around his voice. Oh, oh he wants this. He desires the salt. He has craved this mineral for over a year now.]
You have to tell me everything. Literally immediately. Beam it into my brain I do not care, we are about to dish until we collapse, what did she do this time??
[Now he's propped up on his elbows, hands holding up his jaw, and kicking his feet in the air behind him. Oh, it's been a while since they had a proper sesh, what is up.]
[This whole situation gets the biggest mix of conflicting emotions from Lup. On one hand, she tells Taako everything. That's just a simple fact of life. Her twin brother has been and always will be privy to every little piece of information or gossip given to her. It's just how they operate.
...But this is also about Lucretia, a subject that's been a little more delicate between them these last two years. It isn't so much that Lup keeps things about Lucretia from her brother, as much as she just doesn't offer him the information, knowing it might put him off. They've been running on a 'less said the better' deal since Lucretia's most recent appearance. Taako knows they hang out frequently, but he doesn't need to know the details.
But this seems so much bigger than Lup can deal with on her own.
She stays where she is, on her belly, hugging her pillow, but her body naturally turns towards him as if on instinct.]
Just got into a dumbass fight. She was acting like she knew shit about the Null. Like she knows better than we do.
[It's true that Taako doesn't want positive associations with Lucretia; he can't control how Lup feels, and especially with Barry's absence he's not going to run around and try to bar her from seeing a friend. He also doesn't like seeing Lup in distress, but this bitterness in him is something he usually can't share with her. This, this is some fucking opportunity right here. Salt without consequences, baybee! Dirt without borders!!!
He curls himself a bit in her inverse, not even on the same bed but instinctively moving to a careful yin and yang.]
What the hell? What does she care about that shit?
[He had seen one of them making some sort of announcement earlier, but mostly he just slapped the big button that said forsake-- er, murder-- and turned it off. What was it about again...?]
There's no hiding the excitement in her twin's tone, how hungry he is for the salt. And Lup's ears perk up in response, but that doesn't make what comes next any easier. It's salt and Lup wants to bitch, sure, but this is fucking rough.]
Said she was fine with reprogramming the bots. Acting like changing their whole personality was somehow a better option than just straight up murdering them. Like I was I friggin' promoting genocide because I wouldn't agree to her dumbass ideals.
[Of course there's no missing the connection there, to their life, just why Lup is so upset with that. It's more than the Null. So much more than that.]
[He's hype up to the point where Lup actually talk about it, and his ears dip down as he almost physically recoils from the very idea.]
Are you fucking-- no, I can't even ask if you're kidding me, because you're you and have a fucking brain about all this, what the fuck.
[Taako's dropping some of his other demeanor now, sitting up to swing his legs over the gap between their beds, hanging on to the edge as he leans forward towards her.]
She has the gall to say that to you? Of all fucking people, when she's supposed to regret what she did??
[Funny how Lup is trying so hard for restraint, but the second that Taako starts to show off how taken back and offended he is, she just leaps in full force in with all of her own Salt.
She's sitting up in an instant, pillow tucked into her lap, amping up off of her twin's energy, hands already flying up in irritation.]
Friggin' right! Like, how much self-awareness do you have to lack to say that kinda shit!? To me! To any of us!
Yeah what's getting me here is not even that she had the gall to say it, which like, is offensive on it's own, but to you? The people she fucking did it to?
[In a moment, their ankles are going to be tangled in each other, legs swinging in synchronicity around and into each other's shins.]
All that shit about regretting it, about how she'd never do it again, was that just some fucking lie too?? God! Just! AUGH.
[In a moment, they are going to morph into one amorphous figure, consumed with anger and righteous indignation.]
Ugh, I just - [She scoots closer to the edge of her head, like Lup can only fully share the full scope of her irritation by getting closer.] It fucking pisses me off.
[The idea of what Lucretia said, it still makes something go tight and uncomfortable in her chest, but at least sharing her frustration with her brother helps.]
I kept defending her! I thought she fucking got it, but then she just had to go off on me about how immoral my choice was over hers.
Honestly! Like, you saw what happened when you just went in and fucked up someone's head, and you're gonna do it again? I've done some shitty stuff to people, sure, but never something like that. Just kill 'em and get it over with.
[He snorts, the anger only building in his chest. He was right. Of course he was right. How could he be so stupid to let her in through all this? How could it be that for the person who kept everything she was, she changed so much?]
Good to know that she treats her so called friends just like her enemies. We get the same treatment to the robots that tried to murder everybody. What a goddamn farce.
