C'mon, take it like a woman.

[She doubles over laughing.]

[deadliestviper]

I didn't mean you. You can do better.

[dealing_death]

Can I?

[deadliestviper]

That'd be my educated guess.

[gammabruce]

I'm... sorry? [You can have all the confused stares.]

[deadliestviper]

That driver almost hit you. Seems to me a little ire's appropriate.

[dealing_death]

What am I 'taking like a woman'?

[deadliestviper]

Pssh, all of it. You're possibly the strongest woman I've ever met.

[dealing_death]

That's usually all I let anyone see.

[deadliestviper]

Moments of weakness don't mean a lack of strength.

[dealing_death]

I don't feel as strong as everyone thinks I am. Mostly I feel I have to put up that face of being the strongest. Of not caring. Of being fine with things as they are.

[deadliestviper]

But you're not. Or you don't think you are.

That's taking it like a woman, Selene.

[dealing_death]

At least I am in good company.

[deadliestviper]

That you are. No shortage of company in that aspect.

[gammabruce]

Not for me it isn't. [ Deep breaths. Bottle the anger all up again and toss it out to sea. All he did was yell out, nothing too bad. ] An outburst like that is a loss of control.

[deadliestviper]

Anger's usually a visceral reaction to injustice or wrongdoing. It's not a bad thing.

[gammabruce]

No, it's not. [ He slumps back against a wall, and chuckles. ] It's what you become that's bad. On its own, anger is natural.

[deadliestviper]

You're right about that, but I still say a little swearing and some rude gestures were in order there.
