That too.

Lot of shit's gonna try interfere with it. Understandin' this all will make it easier to accept it when it does.

Yer already on the right path for that to happen. Just acknowledgin' it at all is a big step. I hope ya know that.

[audacity]

[ laughs a little ]

You think so?

[throughbamboo]

'Course I do. Y'ain't tryin' to ignore it - which I think most people would keep tryin' to do.

[audacity]

I just...don't want to get stuck in the past because of something bad happening. Something terrible happened. Bad things happen to everyone, though, especially around here. They're going to keep happening. But there's also really good stuff too, and I want to be able to appreciate that.

[throughbamboo]

'Zactly. Bad stuff is just gonna keep pilin' up if ya let it. Ya can't let it overshadow all the good stuff that's gonna happenin' an' keep happenin', too.

[audacity]

Yeah. The Dame can ruin my day with her performances, but she definitely doesn't deserve to ruin anything else for me.

[throughbamboo]

Damn right that b—damn woman don't deserve that. Don't let her ruin shit.

[audacity]

She's really the worst.

[throughbamboo]

I have yet to hear anythin' even remotely good 'bout her.

[audacity]

Did I tell you she showed up to the Doctor's performance, just to enjoy the show?

[throughbamboo]

[he scowls a little]

Ya didn't. Must've missed that, what with everythin' goin' on.

[audacity]

Don't blame you. I was lucky enough that she stopped by to laugh at me specifically. Before we had to do any wedding or beheading, I mean. Though she probably got a kick out of my dead body too.

[throughbamboo]

Why the fuck did she do that?

[audacity]

Uhhhh, because she's evil and crazy?

[throughbamboo]

No, I mean - why specifically you? Or was she just bein' a bitch?

[makes a face when the curse slips out]

[audacity]

[ smiles at the curse before shrugging ]

Easy prey? Can't say she didn't get under my skin.

[throughbamboo]

[there might be another bitch hidden in that grumble]

Next time she does it, just ignore her. Don't give her what she wants.

[audacity]

Don't worry, Val gave me a ward against evil.

[ finally pulls back so he can tug a charm out from under his shirt ]

He's hoping it can repel vampires.

[throughbamboo]

[glances down at it, the corner of his mouth quirking]

S'nice of him, I hope it works. Oughta carry some garlic around with ya too, just in case.

[audacity]

He made me a whole necklace. Um, please don't tell him, but I tossed it at the cat cafe. It smelled way too much to keep in my room.

[throughbamboo]

Heh, I won't tell him. Doubt it'd work on her anyway, but the thought's nice.

[audacity]

[ fiddles with the charm, sighing a little ]

The thought's really nice. That's why I want to...appreciate all of you better, instead of being too scared to. What I have right now is really great. Yeah, I lost a lot of it once for, like, five minutes. But I don't want to lose all of it for good because that happened.

[throughbamboo]

Ya won't lose it.

The people who care 'bout ya, they might not know how ya feel but they won't stop carin' 'bout ya while ya try to work on yerself. It'll always be there, s'just waitin' for ya.

[audacity]

There you go too with always. It's a big word.

[throughbamboo]

I know. N' I can really only speak for myself in the end.

But I can at least promise ya that much.
