Depends. Usually it's because the manager feels like we need his experience more than my other selves-- different tactics for different fights, y'know? His experience isn't usually necessary, but everything has its applications.

[dante's not the type who'd make them use identities they dislike unless they're genuinely useful. at least r.b. gregor isn't as strong as n corp sinclair... poor sinclair.]

I see... so whatever this manager of yours dictates.

Sounds familiar.

...sure is.

But Dante is... they try to make the right call.

Sounds like a difficult job on their end as well.

Making choices you can live with - it's not easy.

Nothing's easy, back there. But they're doing what they can.

[he's quiet a few moments, before-]

Hey. I know it's gonna be a rough week for you, but... give me some sign when you're done, all right? I wanna come see you after.

It's going to be a rough week for everyone. I'll be in great company.

[ looking at him head on now. ]

Metis will be taking care of me. I think Adra would rip my own leg off and beat me with it before she allowed me to take care of it myself somehow... haha.

Good. She should-- but tell Metis I said thanks.

[love that catboy.]

You know how it is, though. Sometimes you'd rather check in yourself.

... some things I'd rather hear from you, too.

[not from the profile updates.]

[ he just sheepishly shrugs because he does not control that! ]

Hey now...

[ a laugh. ]

Well, I'll see about getting what rest I can so you can have that.

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-11 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't just rest for my sake, you stubborn--

[ELBOWS HIM.]

... but if that's what it takes to talk you into getting any sleep, then I'll use it.

[ hey! don't elbow! elbows back!!!! ]

I'm going to be running about quite a bit this week between my regular duties and the extra procedures.

So. Just... don't be nervous if it takes a while, alright?

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-11 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah, I know. I already know you'll leave yourself for last. Just-- don't let 'a while' be too long.

[sighing, as he shifts to lean against him a little more heavily.]

Let people pick things up for you, if they can. Everyone's gonna want to help where they're able.

[personal profile] bulls 2024-04-11 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. I'll make sure of that.

[ lets him lean heavily, leans back so they are just counterbalancing each other's lean comfortably. ]

... I will dole out what I can, but some of it must remain my job. Alright?

I know it does. Just don't carry what you don't have to on top of it.

[he gets it, and some things really can't be shared, but--

divide the rest of it. at least some of it. that's all he asks.]
