now now let's not get ahead of ourselves
wouldn't it be enough if we just get them to coexist?
they're the biggest threat to each other after all
so that'd be close enough

[opheliac]

they can coexist away from each other. thaaaats about as far as they can get.

[rebellions]

gotta start somewhere

they haven't been giving you too much trouble lately, have they?

[ It's only natural their little family drama would rear its ugly head every once and then, so he wants to make sure it's not adding to her stress on top of... well, everything else. ]

[opheliac]

nnnnnnnnnot yet. and it looks like theyre behind schedule.

[rebellions]

hell's frozen over
enjoy the vacay

[opheliac]

ha ha, very funny, buster. even if i wanna take a vacation, i cant do it alone.

[rebellions]

I'd suggest taking your toy boy to one of those romantic retreat places that I assume must exist around here somewhere
but that'd leave me to deal with the nuclear fallout of your old man
so
not worth it if you ask me

[opheliac]

yyyeaaaaa. he thinks ekko is going to leave again. since this place LOVES doing that. did u know this is his *third time* being here? dont know what it is about him.

and. well. i am pretty scared of that, too. but i know now if he DOES leave, its not because he wanted to.

hey. u wanna know a secret? well. not a secret, but a hunch.

[rebellions]

can't tell if that's luck or unlucky

shoot

[opheliac]

i think he wants to marry me. not now, but... some day.

1/??

[rebellions]

[rebellions]

[ WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU─ ]

[rebellions]

[ So, Ekko has chosen death. ]

[rebellions]

[ No, okay. Inhale, exhale. He's chill. It's chill. ]

[rebellions]

[ ... Oh who the fuck is he kidding, there's nothing even remotely chill about all this.

Marry her? His cute little sister? There's no way Ragna would ever let Saya─ ]

[rebellions]

[ But... Jinx isn't Saya. She can make her own decisions, and Ragna has no right to stop her or try to change her mind. In fact, if that's what makes her happy, then... ]

there I'm done

[rebellions]

and you? do you want that?

[opheliac]

why are u asking me that?

marriage is a big thing! nothing to sneeze over. i mean... during that dream stuff, he stumbled upon mine. and we were... the queen and king of zaun, and we were fairies, and had a cottage in the forest, and it was COMPLETELY disgusting.

we havent really talked about what happened, but he... changed his username to match mine. and it matches... the dream i had. and he told me when... he got sucked in another dimension, people called us "zaun's royalty" because we were a thing there, too.

its like... in all universes, in all different worlds, he and i are meant to be. another prophecy mumbo jumbo.

[rebellions]

cause I need to know if I should kill him or not

[ He's only half-joking. As for the rest of her comment... Ragna frowns as he rereads it a couple of times. He's not entirely sure if she's serious or just running with some deeply hidden girly fantasy, but he definitely doesn't want her to feel pressured into something because of some vague "prophecy". ]

there's no such thing as fate and shit
you're the one forging your own destiny
don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't do based off some other possible versions of you

but if that's what you do want... then go for it

[opheliac]

[she doesn't reply back right away. like she is really thinking about his words and what, well, she really wants to be or do with her life. she thought she had it all figured out, but when she got thrown back to runeterra, everything made less sense.]

it did feel sorta nice being a wife. and it felt nice having a kid, too. god, thats so screwed up, huh??? me. jinx. who kiiiinnda likes the husband/wife with a squirt lifestyle.

but i definitely wouldnt want to stay at home and tidy up the place all day. i still wanna go out and crash a party or two.

[rebellions]

[ Despite his previous, er, reservations towards the idea, seeing her response does make him smile a little. How could he not? It's such a normal thing to strive for, it does almost feel out of place coming from her. But so what? He's already decided to support her no matter what, and that's what he's gonna do. ]

no one says it's either or
you can have your lovey-dovey happily ever after cottagecore life
and then if you feel like carpet bombing the town with water balloons filled with paint then that's an option too

[opheliac]

stink bombing the next shindig the locals host for us. and since ure my big brother, i guess ill be nice and give u a heads up.

but. i guess ill wait and see if the boy savior is brave enough to pop the question. he was SO red when we both got out of my dream. it was freaking adorable.

[rebellions]

I'm honored

[ It's mostly a joke in this context, but the sentiment behind it is genuine. He does think it's an honor to be considered a part of her family. ]

give him some time
like you said it's a big deal

also I think I'm getting nauseous from all this sweetness

[opheliac]

ugh, me too! say, u wanna dare me to eat a worm? ill do it if something good will come out of it.

[rebellions]

no??
why the hell would I want you to do that
