I've seen humans fly in films and people run around with lightsabers, and that doesn't mean that it's a thing that happens in real life.

[ralliesprotests]

yeah but ostriches are real and they're really fucking big

[outofgalway]

But how would you even put a saddle on it?

[ralliesprotests]

That's like you just told me to not think of a pink elephant. Thanks.

[ralliesprotests]

what else are friends for?

[outofgalway]

not putting images of you fucking an ostrich in my head

[ralliesprotests]

sharing is caring

[outofgalway]

no

[ralliesprotests]

it's no worse than being complicit to sticking rats down trousers.

[outofgalway]

I didn't realise that's where he was going to put it!

[ralliesprotests]

what did you think his plans were?

[outofgalway]

I don't know, but not that!

[ralliesprotests]

never trust an a. not to do something dumb. first rule of w. school.

[outofgalway]

I tried to not give Ray Charles to him! But he insisted.

[ralliesprotests]

one day you and I are going to sit down and I'm going to give you lessons in ignoring pillocks.

[outofgalway]

[He'll try and type a response a few times, and then he's not going to respond to it at all. Because there's no right answer.]

[ralliesprotests]

[Since there's no reply, eventually Rowan'll shoot off another message.]

I'm serious. How far do you think I would get if I just lay down every time someone tried to push me over because they don't like what I am?

[outofgalway]

I don't know how far you would or wouldn't get. You're homid.

I just know that I get no further if I keep insisting after a certain point than if I hadn't kept insisting. [And the point is located differently based on how important the matter is and whom he's dealing with and how much he thinks he can demand without overstepping his boundaries. But the point always exists.]

[ralliesprotests]

bcos you're a Metis?

fuck people who say that. Seriously. or send them my way and I'll fuck them over for you. [hello tiny angry galliard let them wreck people who put other people down because of who they are]

[outofgalway]

[He physically winces at that, ducking down against the ire that he caused, though Rowan can't see any of that.]

Nobody says that. It's just how it is.

[And then, very quickly after:] But I will try my best to be strong and productive and contribute to the pack, don't worry, I'll be good for the pack.

[ralliesprotests]

It's not how it is, that's the point. Might be where you're from, but it's not here, and it's not where I'm from. It's not your fault you were born, so blaming you is pointless.

[outofgalway]

[No, it's not, is it. He doesn't want to be considered useless, someone who spends too much time and energy ducking away. He'll have to learn new rules. Figure out how to fit in here.]

I'm working on figuring out how it is here.

And nobody blames me for being born. Doesn't change that you're worth more because you're homid.

[ralliesprotests]

That's not how it works for us. The only people worth more are the ones with the skills for the job. If anything, Metis and lupus are worth more than us lot cos there's less of them in the tribe.
