[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.
