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.

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

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

[red_song]

I asked. He wasn't very helpful.

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

[captaincanary]

[Oh, that's it.]

Where can I find this guy?

[red_song]

[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.

[captaincanary]

[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.

[red_song]

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

[captaincanary]

You sure you don't know where he is?

[red_song]

I do not know.

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

[captaincanary]

Can you tell me what he looks like?

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

[red_song]

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.

[captaincanary]

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.

[red_song]

Are all humans like this?

[captaincanary]

Violent like me? Or selfish like your friend?

[red_song]

Driven firstly by emotions and therefore highly illogical.

[captaincanary]

[There's a slight chuckle.]

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

[red_song]

I do not believe you can.

[captaincanary]

[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?

[red_song]

[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.

[captaincanary]

I can handle fit and durable.

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

[red_song]

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

[captaincanary]

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.

[red_song]

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.]

[captaincanary]

[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.

[red_song]

Thank you.

[captaincanary]

Thank me after it's done.
