[ olivia spares a moment to swallow the heavy sigh that threatens to spill out of her. men and their pride... is it truly that fragile? smh...
alright alright... some damage control now. she takes care to keep her tone gentle, but there is undoubtedly a stern gravity to each word, the kind that most would find hard-pressed to disagree with. ]
He's not doing it to put you down, Law, that's just how he speaks. You have to remember he comes from a completely different time and place, so that's just normal for him.
[ a meaningful pause, wherein she turns her attention to both men. ]
You both have to remember that.
[ but olivia tries not to be too harsh about it; there had been a time, too, when she had briefly regarded both men with wariness, simply because of their abrasive attitudes. she knows not everyone has the patience to endeavor to see past that, but the least everyone could do, she thinks, is grant everyone the benefit of the doubt.
and if not, just walk away man. ]
Law — please stop antagonizing people. You're trying to do a good thing here, remember? The more healers work together and learn from each other, the better off this entire crew will be.
And Achilles... Please stop rising to the bait. We really can't afford any further in-fighting. [ especially after the mess that was nalawi. ] A leader like you knows which battles are worth picking and which [ she'll give law a pointed look now ] are just empty taunts.
[ NOW SHE WILL SIGH. YOU BOYS ARE GIVING HER A HEADACHE. ]
And I appreciate the both of you being worried, but I'm perfectly capable of making my own decisions. If neither of you trust the other man, then you can at least trust me.
[ and if she makes a mistake... well. she'll cross that bridge when she gets there. ]
