[Lexa would not tolerate nicknames from Ren. Thankfully Lioriley is much more forgiving.]

all ive got is fightin
and stuff i aint alowed to rite down
i can drive???

[maximumcake]

[Max is assuming the stuff she's not writing down is wolf related. Though, an outsider might think it's sex.]

Why do you fight? What do you fight for?

[Fighting may only be the surface level, but maybe he can get her to think slightly deeper. Maybe.]

[ragesagainsttheodds]

[The next answer takes Ren a few minutes.]

becos thats my job

[Has she ever thought any more deeply into it than that? No. It's her job to be the meatshield and fight the bad guys. That's what Dad does. That's what Aunt Lynn does. That's what she does. That's what Ahrouns do. It's their whole purpose.]

if i dont do it johan dose it

i fight cos im told two

[maximumcake]

[He can't say he's surprised by this answer. But he can pick at it a little.]

What happens if you fail your job? And Johan fails it too? And everyone fails. What would be the consequences if no one was there to fight or win?

[ragesagainsttheodds]

if i fail i dye.
then johan dyes. then the rest of the pack.

gaia would dye cos the bad guys wud win faster?

[maximumcake]

[She's... so close to the point. So close.]

Right. You're not just fighting to fight. You're fighting to help your pack and to help Gaia. You fighting protects people.

[ragesagainsttheodds]

yeh

i hav to protect the pack

thats my job

[Is this what you wanted, Max? She is in confusion.]

[maximumcake]

So what if you protect people here too? You already know that's something you could be good at, right?

[He hopes...]

[ragesagainsttheodds]

but they dont need protectin from anythin

nothin eva hapens heer

[maximumcake]

Things don't happen AS often, sure. But there are still some nasty creatures in the woods.

And I did get attacked by that feral vampire that one time.

[ragesagainsttheodds]

holey fuck ur rite

[Someone has to protect these innocent nitwits. And Clearly It Must Be Her.]

[maximumcake]

Just do me one favor? Make sure to ask if they're one of the favored before you go Hulk on them? Some of us around here don't look the same.

[As he's sure she is aware. But it bears repeating.]

[ragesagainsttheodds]

but wot if their the danger???

[maximumcake]

I think the fae wouldn't bring them if they are that dangerous. Wouldn't that ruin their fun.

[ragesagainsttheodds]

not tru
or i wuldnt be here

[The refute is automatic. She is a danger here. The fact that crinos is locked away from her only makes her more dangerous. Because it could be given back at any moment.]

[maximumcake]

Fine. Okay. Let me put this another way. Don't attack other favored. You want to protect the favored. That's the job.

[ragesagainsttheodds]

I can do that.
