Uhhhh Earth Human Zombie Or I Guess In This Case Moon Zombie
Well The Working Theory Is They Are The Technical Genies Answer To Everything In The Agricultural Wing Being Dead Centuries Before Our Entrance
And They Keep Moving Even After You Cut Them Apart
So You Have To Burn Them Or Create Very Small Parts

So I can guess, but exactly how pissed off are you?
[how does someone not know how fire works
if it was someone from fantasy novel land she might be less shocked but
kanaya has a chainsaw
someone with a chainsaw should know how fire work]
fire is a bad idea
you see anyone else using it tell them to stop
i refuse to survive zombies only to suffocate to death

Steph.
[Someone sure sounds hurt.]
I'm sorry. I couldn't — I don't want you to have that responsibility.

[There's a long moment of silence.
He's lucky she even answered.]
Right.
[Gues who sounds skeptical?]
If you think I can't handle it, just say so.

It's not that.
[It's a little bit that. Saul's quiet for a moment, too, mulling this over.
Might as well just be honest.]
I'm just worried that if something were to happen and you had that power, you'd blame yourself for not knowing. And I don't want you to have another reason to beat yourself up.

[It's basically just what he said, he just framed it as being worried aout her.]

[That's enough to cut through her anger, and the silence this time is simply because she isn't sure how to respond.]
What?
[She... thinks she knows what he means, but she wants to be sure.]
What?
[She... thinks she knows what he means, but she wants to be sure.]
You make these offhand comments about yourself that seem like jokes, but I know they're not.
[Most of the time, anyway.]
And I know you don't believe me when I tell you how amazing you are. I don't think you believe anyone else, either. Sometimes —
[He has to pause; his voice is getting a little tight.]
Sometimes I'm not even sure you believe that I love you as much as I do. Anyway, that's not really my point. I just — what I saw back there was an opportunity for you to take on more responsibility that shouldn't belong to you. I don't want anything to give you any more reason to feel the way you do, so I had to step in. Maybe the way I went about it wasn't the best, but... it was either that, or say all this in front of everyone. Because I know, Steph. I know that as soon as something goes wrong, you'll blame yourself. You do that already anyway, so...
[Another pause.]
But what I don't know is how to handle it when you do that.

[IF EVERYONE JUMPED OFF A CLIFF...?]

good luck

[She doesn't know what to say.
Any remaining anger is completely gone by the time he's finished talking, and she's just left with an ache in her chest, instead. It's not fair, that he can say things like that and leave her speechless.
She wants to tell him that he's wrong, wants to make a joke and brush it off, even getting her anger back and yelling at him would be easier than trying to work out a genuine response.
So she doesn't.]
Okay.
[Her voice is a little distant, like it's an automatic response.]
Sorry.
[Maybe she's apologizing for getting mad at him, or for being the way she is.
Or maybe she's apologizing for the fact she just hung up on him and shoved the tablet under her pillow, as if hiding it will make this all go away.]

[Damn it.
Saul stares at his screen for a solid minute, then pulls up the app that lets him know where Steph is and goes sprinting toward her room. He skids to a stop outside her door, takes a breath to steady himself before he tests the knob so he doesn't startle her, carefully pushes inside when it yields under his touch —
And pauses, because he doesn't know what to say or do except look up at her.]

[She thinks it must be one of her roommates, so she's already rubbing a hand over her face as if that might get rid of the threat of tears, because she doesn't want to worry Ellie or have Joel or Tess ask what's wrong.
Except it's Saul, and as soon as she notices she just looks guilty, dropping her gaze to her knees.
She should've realized it would be him.]
Sorry.
[Again.]

Sorry.

[Maybe he should've thought about the fact that other people live with her, but — nah.
He leans back against the door and shoves his hands into his pockets so she can't see the way he's fidgeting.]
Can I come up?
[He's already expecting her to say no.]
