will he use it, if he needs help, do you think?
not everyone trusts witches
not everyone is good at asking for help

[provoke]

That is your challenge. The magic is the easy part.

He may yet hear you over me.

[extent]

is there anyone he might trust to reach out to
other than you, if he won't entertain that right now

[provoke]

It is less a matter of who he trusts than who I trust. We trust you equally.

Would this be trouble for you?

[extent]

i'm just like
not fantastic in a fight
which is fine like i dont want to be but it's also like
i might not be the best person to call for backup.

[provoke]

Do you not have any faith in your ability to survive? Are you nothing without your magic?

[ is he intentionally goading him? just a little. where is the confidence, nicholas? ]

[extent]

i mean kind of
not in like a tragic way just like

i just havent really ever had to do the whole fighting defending whatever stuff
i just heal really

this convo happening right before nick DIES

[provoke]

It never crossed your mind to protect yourself, simply because you heal?

Are you perhaps inclined to foolishness, Nicholas?

AWFUL TBH

[extent]

probably haha

no but like, i don't know i've never really needed to? like protecting myself isn't really a major concern in my life its mostly just like
making sure i dont let my dishes pile up
not losing my house keys

that sort of thing

i think my life probably looks very different to yours

[provoke]

[ don't haha me you fool ]

Why do you concern yourself with the dishes? Do you not simply clean it with your magics? Can it not find your keys as you bid?

Nicholas. Do you know how to throw your fist?

[extent]

i can do retrival stuff now but i couldnt at home i was like
busy doing other stuff
so i guess thats a fun thing about here

[ sure jan ]

no?

[provoke]

'Other stuff.' What else more could be important than keeping yourself alive and whole? hat if you need fight for yourself, or another?

[extent]

i cannot stress enough how much of a concern that has not been in my life up to this point

[provoke]

Just because it has not made itself a problem doesn't mean it won't. And then where will you be?

[extent]

who's even gonna pick a fight with me? :)

two idiots

[provoke]

[ this fool— ]

I would. To prove my point, I would.

😌

[extent]

wow aemond i thought we were friends
how could you fight me? i'm extremely unpunchable

[provoke]

Friends know to challenge friends to better themselves.

I'll move the eyepatch over my other eye. 'Tis a fair fight that way.

[ is he joking? is he serious? who knows! ]

[extent]

😔 if you think i'd look hot bruised and bloody you can just say that

[provoke]

Gain a couple decades and more muscle, then maybe.

[ this is perhaps too honest than aemond would otherwise allow himself to be, but nick has seen aemond cry for his mother. he's had his hands in his mother's guts. aemond can afford to be honest about his proclivities with him. ]

[extent]

hot

tbh i think i'd lose my appeal if i bulked up tho so 🤷‍♀️ what are you going to do right?

[provoke]

You wish to remain slight for the rest of your life? Why?

[extent]

do you want the actual answer or the not horny answer

[provoke]

...There should be a difference?

[extent]

well i could lie and say something like oh i'm just so bad at putting on muscle
