[Fear's inbox message is simply a crackling of static, with vague thumps here and there. It goes on for about thirty seconds before cutting short, like the sound was snapped off.]

He is Hope and I am Fear. Our very natures are fundamentally opposed to one another.

It's how this has to go.

[unitas]

Why? Is this supposed to be your fate? Your destiny? [ what a crock, she thinks. ]

Text ; sorry was on hiatus!

[lingeringfear]

Nothing as poetic as that. It's just what we are. You humans have an phrase- like oil and water?

Text ; no worries c:

[unitas]

It's not like you two are smoothie ingredients, you don't have to blend. Why don't you just live, and let live?

Text

[lingeringfear]

Why do you care so much about what's between him and I? You won't stop either of us from our goals.

Text

[unitas]

Because it affects me.

[lingeringfear]

Have you ever disliked someone from the moment you met them?

Text

[unitas]

Of course. [ her mind immediately conjures a dark haired woman, a woman she made beg before she split her in two. who knew barbed wires were so effective in stealing one's so-called purity. ] But most people learn to get over it.

[lingeringfear]

We aren't most people, Sharon.

Text

[unitas]

That's no excuse, Fear.

Text

[lingeringfear]

I won't tell you what you want. You might as well stop trying to get it from me.

Text

[unitas]

I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. [ lmao ]

Text

[lingeringfear]

I applaud your curiosity, but discovering the details behind Hope and my disagreements will not help you or your kind while you're here. You can't solve them, you won't like them, you won't be able to utilize them for anything.

We're going to leave it at that.

Text

[unitas]

What if I'm not interested in leaving it at that? [ she will, however. she's only going to press so hard. think of it like testing her limits with him. ]

Text

[lingeringfear]

Then you'll have to get used to disappointment.

I try to be forthcoming with some things. You'd do well to leave the rest of it alone.

Text

[unitas]

Fine. [ and like that, she's done. there will be plenty of other times to get information from him, she's sure. ]
