Oh, I have not the slightest clue.

[coolcostumes]

which means it's a lot.

[white_widow]

It's a lot, yes. Enough for it to feel natural.

[coolcostumes]

and the tallest thing i've jumped off of is a slide on the playground.
so daring.

[white_widow]

That's not true at all. You used my wire out of Rockefeller, there was internet video of it. That counts.

[coolcostumes]

oh that's right
i did do that

i'm surprised i didn't pass out
that was scary.

[white_widow]

You did. You did pretty well, too, especially for a first timer.

[coolcostumes]

doing pretty well means i didn't die or hurt myself too, right?

[white_widow]

Well, based on your landing, I would imagine your knees or ankles ached a bit after. But it was very good you did not die, yes.

[coolcostumes]

no i was totally fine!
better than fine.

( no, she'd definitely been in pain. )

[white_widow]

Kate, pretending like things I know hurt don't hurt does not make you seem more badass to me.

[coolcostumes]

okay fine
of course it hurt
but i've definitely had worse.

[white_widow]

I've been told - I'm not sure I agree, but I've been told that just because there has been a worse pain, doesn't mean that pain doesn't count.

[coolcostumes]

well no
i agree with that
but it wasn't enough pain to make me want to stop.

[white_widow]

No. You're not the quitting or giving up type.

[coolcostumes]

guess i'm not.

too many things i wanna help with

[white_widow]

Mm. There are a lot of fucked up things in the world, to overfill that list.

[coolcostumes]

and if i can help even a little bit with that
i want to.

[white_widow]

I know you do. And I think you can and you will.

[coolcostumes]

thank you
i like having your vote of confidence.

[white_widow]

Please try not to make me regret encouraging this.

[coolcostumes]

i won't

i promise i won't

[white_widow]

Okay. Thank you.

[coolcostumes]

you're not sad, are you?

[white_widow]

Only a touch. Mostly I'm okay.
