The person it took a three-man rescue team to save. You're welcome for taking an arrow for you, by the way.

[ Thedas doesn't have bullets, so this is the idiom we're working with. ]

[sharktrash]

[ wow. he didn't ask to be saved!! he was doing f i n e ]

You decided to do that on your own. I don't owe you shit.

[defaulthawke]

I didn't say you owed me, I said you're welcome

[sharktrash]

That implies you're expecting some kind of gratitude, for FUCKING UP my best chance to go back to normal. He was helping.

[ is this what you expected, Garrett ]

[defaulthawke]

[it isn't terribly far off from the kind of attitude he expected, honestly.]

How was he helping?

[sharktrash]

In a way that was working on me.

[ so, torture. ]

[ haha were you expecting any actual details ]

Is this the only reason you called?

[defaulthawke]

Isn't it some kind of Earth holiday today?

[sharktrash]

[ great. a topic change. he rubs the back of his head. ]

Technically it started yesterday, but yeah. It's Christmas.

[defaulthawke]

That's the other reason I called. You know, besides checking on the person who was probably being raped or tortured.

[sharktrash]

[ Squalo's eyebrows rise a little. The what are you talking about is probably somewhat audible in his tone. ]

I can handle torture. And he's never forced himself on me.

[ congratulations, Garrett, you're special! or does that make Squalo special? who knows, but he definitely may be misremembering some of their encounters to maintain his illusion of complete control. ]

--As if I'd let that happen.

[ ah, there we go. the victim blaming. he is clearly not one so it could never happen to him. after all, Garrett got to experience that -- almost firsthand. however the ghost thing worked. ]

[ anyway, he much prefers the Christmas angle here. ]

...I wasn't planning to celebrate. [ there's something almost a little apologetic in his voice before a slight pause. ] I don't really have any -- [ any family left, he'd say, but he supposes Yamamoto counts. But then the boy was very Japanese and they didn't necessarily have the same celebrations. ] Well, I kind of forgot, so I don't have any presents or whatever.

[ he had bigger things on his mind. ish. ]
