Frankly, I think he's just a sick pervert who wants power any place he can get it. He started by fetishizing Asian girls and then kept working his way up the bullshit ladder from there.
[ Does Riptide even know what that means? Whatever, she's exhausted. She doesn't feel like explaining. ]
We always knew he was awful. We just didn't know how awful. [ She really should have. She's constantly mad at herself for not knowing sooner. ] And here he knows he has even fewer limits than he did before.
it's always a sex thing i have not seen one human problem here that hasn't been a sex thing that's still nasty as hell though
that's
[...]
are you doing okay? because getaway being around makes me really upset and i feel like its the same for you with woden do you wanna talk about it properly or anything?
We have plenty of problems that aren't sex things. [ ...But. ] People tend to care about those things way fucking more than the bigger picture, though.
[ God, is he prying? This weird alien machine thing is prying? She can't deny that her and Riptide have...a weird amount of things in common. Everything he's told her about Getaway reminds her of her situation with Woden, sometimes a little too much. But she's also tired and touchy and doesn't want to dig deep into this. She doesn't ever want to dig deep into this- but especially right now. ]
Well, thank fuck. [ She does not trust this guy in a gun range, soldier or no. ]
That's better than my first thought, but seriously, I'm fine. [ No she's not. ] If I actually want do to something like that, you'll know. [ No he won't. ]

I'm fine. It's all fucked, but it could be worse.
[ She's not Dio. ]

This is when she should say "thank you", but she's a bit too tired to process that right now. Maybe in a minute. ] Alright.
I hope you're "shooting shit" in a controlled environment.

She's...not used to conversations ending like this. Is Riptide her friend?
Oh god, he's her friend. ]
I'm sure I will. You too. I'm sure we're going to have to put up with some other bullshit soon enough.
