Penance IC Inbox - Video, Voice, Text, Deliveries

Captain Sara Lance can't answer her phone right now, and if you leave a message I can't promise I'll get back to you, either.

Feel free to leave one anyway.

Why wasn't he happy for me?

Other than he's a jerk? That's something you would have to ask him.

[Or Sara can pound it out of him. Whichever.]

I asked. He wasn't very helpful.

[Oh he's sad, so damn sad.]

[Oh, that's it.]

Where can I find this guy?

[Proto wilts. He doesn't know, and he doesn't know that he should let one human fight his battles for him.]

I do not know.

[Defending isn't the same as fighting for him, she feels.]

That's okay. I can probably find him.

If you really want to know from him, though, why he's not happy, you'll have to ask again. Just in a different way, if the last time didn't answer that.

I don't think I wish to ask him. He was unkind.

You sure you don't know where he is?

I do not know.

[Which is true. He cannot know where he is at this second.]

Can you tell me what he looks like?

[It's okay. She'll ask around.]

Sara, something in your questioning brings me to believe that you are attempting to put yourself into a position to come to harm on my behalf, or to cause harm on my behalf.

I am not certain that is the most logical decision to make.

I won't be harmed. The other person? Yes, will be.

This isn't about logic. It's about settling the problem and letting them know I'm displeased because this Steve hurt my friend.

Are all humans like this?

Violent like me? Or selfish like your friend?

Driven firstly by emotions and therefore highly illogical.

[There's a slight chuckle.]

Not all humans are the same. I'm guessing you want me to not hurt this guy?

I do not believe you can.

[Well, that's a first. Usually people just don't want her to kill the other person. None of the people who know her back home would say something like that. Except....]

What? I'm a skilled assassin. You should see my sins list. I can kick just about anyone's butt.

What's so special about this guy?

[Oh? Was she? Well then, he has no qualms.]

If you are one, then I have no objections. He is just very fit and durable.

I can handle fit and durable.

And here I thought you were protecting him, or just didn't want your friends fighting.

If he was a friend, then he wouldn't have said those things, yes? I was attempting to protect you.

Sometimes.

But sometimes friends say hurtful things. Sometimes we make mistakes. When friends mess up, the right thing to do is realize that and apologize.

[She's oddly touched.] Thank you, Proto.

What he said was hurtful. I do not think an apology suffices for what he did.

[Oh no, expression he's not familiar with alert. Good thing she didn't say she was touched out loud. He'd say something stupid.]

[That would mean...talking about feelings out loud, and Sara doesn't tend to lean to that much.]

I'll make sure he understands that.

Thank you.
