Fox: hey you
thank you for coming to the rescue today
Vasha: It's fine.
Fox: it is fine, yes, and that's what we do
but I'm saying thank you anyway
accept my thanks and my praise and my love
Vasha: You're welcome.
I am going to track him down and end him and everyone around him.
Fox: we are, yes
have i mentioned yet how utterly hot it was watching you totally fuck up the trap that was left for us?
Vasha: The trap worked. He got away.
I'm sorry.
I'm in a bad mood.
Fox: he was gone before we were ever there
but the trap didn't hurt us
yeah, I can tell, My Heart
talk to me
Vasha: I don't know what to say.
Screenshot of texts between Vasha and Leta:
Leta: Still ends with a B.
Vasha: So does your cup size
Vasha to Fox: Am I doing it right?
Fox: well, what variety of bad mood are you in? Not like "oh look dead body" but... like are you feeling hopeless, frustrated, tired? I can't help if I don't know.
you know where she signed her name, right?
she probably thinks you're hilarious
(you are, even when you're being an ass)
Vasha: I don't want more friends.
Fox: because they are levers through which you can be hurt?
Vasha: Yes.
Fox: I know. But the other option is fossilizing. And Leta is good people. Plus...
she's here because she survived an attack and lost chunks of her memory.
Vasha: Good people are precisely the ones that need to stay far far away from me.
Fox: my love
heart of my heart
I'm not going to tell you that you need to be healed right now
but I'm going to tell you that it's my job to make sure you don't heal your broken bones crooked
and it's my job to make sure you don't let your broken heart build up such an armor of scars that it can't beat anymore
I have loved you too long and too hard to let you pickle your last emotion and call it victory
Vasha: I know better than to hope for victory in any case. She opened by asking me to lead. The fucking nerve.
Fox: she thought you were already in charge and that if you weren't that you'd know who was
and I told her to text you for information or to figure out who was leading
so blame me
Vasha: I don't know what to do with this.
I suppose it's my fault. I didn't tell you. Grew too used to you just knowing.
I can't lead men again.
OH God there's so much you don't know.
Fox: this happens when people are apart, which isn't a judgment, just a statement of fact. I've raised apprentices you've never met. You know?
you're right, I don't know what changed that
and I do need to know that
So... tell me? Not in texts, but ... I'll go to the late night food trucks by Temple and get pelmeni, and meet you at the place Zoya bought
Vasha: Yes.
Fox: I'll see you there.
I love you more than life itself, Vasha. And I know how much that is.
Vasha: You'll have to show me sometime, krasnaya.
Fox: anytime. Every day. Always.
Vasha: me too
and I know how much that is
