[wheesockies]

( reverse ) one-line shipping meme In matters of the heart, actions speak louder than words. Still, words are pretty important, too. ( how to play ) Leave a top-level, either blank or with prefs. Reply to others...with one line only. All other comments can be as meaty or sparse as you'd like, but the rule is that the starter tag must be one line (not counting ooc chatter). Use your brimming imagination or use a few of the many prompts available to copy and paste. Have fun!

[ elnor continues to bristle. ]

It has nothing to do with enjoyment.

[snakehead]

[Liar McLiarPants seeing if he can make Elnor bristle even further? Perish the thought.]

Your general fulfillment with your state of existence, then?

[candorly]

I don't have a problem with my existence.

But it seems you struggle with yours, Zhat Vash.

[snakehead]

I hardly know what you mean.

[Lies.]

[candorly]

[ elnor does not lie, but that doesn't make him dense. ]

You knew that fleet was coming, yet you chose to attack the colony directly in order to stop Soji.

Were you afraid for her? Or your sister taking your glory?

[snakehead]

Maybe I was concerned that the fleet would not arrive in time. Maybe I had a change of heart. Maybe I just wanted to see if I could do it.

[candorly]

[ his eyes narrow. ]

All of those sound like lies.

[snakehead]

[Mildly,] Do they? Well that doesn't mean they're untrue.

[candorly]

[ hmm. ]

You could not do it though. Will you go back?

[snakehead]

Why, do you think they'd take me?

[candorly]

. . . No. They'd never do that.

[ romulans do not forgive easily. ]

[snakehead]

[Nor, does he expect, he'll be getting out if Federation custody anytime soon.

Or that his people would treat him better than the Federation even if he did.

He gives Elnor a thin smile.]

There you go, then. Though, you were incorrect before.

[candorly]

[ he blinks. ]

About what?

[snakehead]

I'm not Zhat Vash.

[candorly]

[ ah. elnor is a little empathetic towards that. ]

You wanted it to be. Despite it all.

[snakehead]

Not enough to avoid washing out. Ergo, an untruth, which you are so steadfastly against.

[candorly]

No. You are Zhat Vash.

That truth is a blade you turn against yourself. I will have no part in it.

[snakehead]

I'm no more Zhat Vash than you are Starfleet.

[Why does he care so much about this in particular, even he doesn't know ok, but it matters. Stop being obstinate, battle nun boy.]

[candorly]

[ nope, he's not having it. ]

I have no intention of being Starfleet.

And while I am not Qowat Milat, I can bear the name in my heart. You choose to deny yours.

[snakehead]

Oh, that's brilliant. That's what I'll tell them when I get back, 'actually, I really feel like a Zhat Vash, so even though I washed out of the program I've decided I am one anyway'.

[candorly]

I would pay money to see that.

[ because that does sound hilarious and elnor is still a little petty about. everything. ]

[snakehead]

I'll be sure to send you an invitation to my trial.

[candorly]

The Zhat Vash are over.

It is unlikely they will come back from this. Their existence is known.

[snakehead]

You're probably right about that. Which means they'll need someone to take the fall for that.

[candorly]

Or you can start anew.

Let go of what the Zhat Vash was.
