Puns in general are terrible. I'd have kicked your ass if I were in Pitou's place.

[ She stops right in front of him, the thought of just going ahead and kicking his ass anyways not quite out of mind yet, but she has to remember not to fight everybody's battles for them. Even if glitter bombing sort of counts. ]

Anyways, yeah, I'm the indentured servant. More like a coffee gofer most days though.

[commandertoolbelt]

It's not like she was any more helpful when I went up in flames.

[ He shrugs, unbothered, and drops his hands. ]

Do I even want to know how that happened? I thought it was supposed to be illegal or something.

[buncho]

[ Probably, but she waves her hands impatiently, as if slapping away the question to go back to that point he can't just casually mention like that and expect her to ignore it. ]

Who the fuck set you on fire?! ...Did you set you on fire?

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He’s a little peeved at being brushed off like that, but whatever. He just shrugs. ]

No one set me on fire; I woke up like that. Pretty sure it’s a Retrospec thing.

[buncho]

You can't just say "it's a Retrospec thing" to WAKING UP FUCKING ON FIRE??

[ That's even worse, oh my god ]

[commandertoolbelt]

What else am I supposed to say?

[ It’s the only explanation he’s got?? ]

It’s not like anyone got hurt. My sheets were a little singed, but that’s what fire extinguishers are for.

[buncho]

FIRE. HURTS. I'VE BEEN SET ON FIRE BEFORE.

[ Gestures to her legs which are covered by long pants so it doesn't really prove anything anyways, but he can't just act as if he woke up one day, just casually ON FIRE, and calmly picked his way across the room, careful not to bump into anything flammable as he takes the fire extinguisher off the wall and points the nozzle at his own stomach. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

Oh. Yeah, about that... It turns out past me was fire proof and could set himself on fire without getting hurt. So.

[ SHRUG. ]
