[8] : [Locked from Hostiles] [Audio] [A few hours after her fight with Fifi]

[boomba]

Well we've had a productive day, haven't we, Samantha?

[exhausted groan from Sam]

I don't wanna talk about it...

Not even after that spectacular win of yours? Honestly, I wish I'd been recording it. I would have expected you to be reveling in it.

Nooo... [urpy noises] I don't feel so good...

Ahh... well then... Kat, I do believe your student has over done it a bit. You might want to take a look at her to make sure she isn't going to die.

Also... does anyone know of a witch named Fifi? We had quite the encounter with her earlier and, well... Samantha managed to 'dispatch' her in a wonderfully fiery display. Again, I wish I'd recorded it.

Hnng... mama feels queasy...

I'm sure you do. How are your arms?

Noodley...

B-but--! It's all good stuff and I feel like I'm gonna hurk already! That's just not fair!

[eyeing the hamburger longingly, but with a little bit of 'not sure if want' to it.]

Oh, I'm aware.

Sadly, I'm also aware that sucking down sodas will only give you a sugar rush and very little in the line of useable energy.

Sadly, there's not much more I can do in this case, other than encourage you to eat at least a little at a time. ... And slow down if it feels like too much.

*she really is sorry, Sam... but it's kinda covered in a mix of amusement and pride in her student*

[Sam sits there for a minute before letting out a very loooong sigh and grabbing the burger. She couldn't refuse beef even in this state.]

Thanks...

Think nothing of it, Sam.

If you'd like, I can keep you company until your partner returns.

*Action!*

[dontspeakofit.livejournal.com]

If you want to.

[sits up, curling her legs up on the couch so Kat can sit]

*she'll just take a seat next to Sam and give her a smile*

I told you that you did a good job, right?

*Action!*

[dontspeakofit.livejournal.com]

Hmm? [around a mouthful of burger] Oh. Yeah, I think you did...

... I'm really not in trouble?

Re: *Action!*

[scrapperzen.livejournal.com]

You're really not in trouble. You defended yourself, that's exactly how I'd hope any combat spells I had taught would be used.

I'm not gonna bust your chops for getting in a fight. These things happen. The fact that you came out of it nauseous and hungry just goes to show that you didn't go into it looking to beat someone down.

Now, I'd really rather you NOT fight... but if someone's gonna bring a fight to you? You're darn right I'll be glad if you walk away after kicking their ass.

I told her I didn't want to fight! You know I don't have to prove myself to anyone.

Not that she listened, obviously. Che... she kept pushin' me so I pushed back.

... still the kind of thing I'd get in trouble for back home, though. Even if I was "defending myself". [does air quotes with one hand]

The systems typically aren't built to handle deviations from what's normal. It takes people who can see special circumstances to make sure that things are balanced and right.

*Kat shakes her head*

I'm just glad that I'm in the system, where I CAN make those distinctions. You really are a good girl, Sam. You've just gotta have someone who can see past when things get complicated.

I gotta be honest, teach, I thought you'd get sick of me after three days and kick me out the door. I'm actually really glad you didn't though.

Man... if Carly could see me now...
