[Lance looks a little over life at the moment, which most of his friends probably recognize as his standard look when not being purposefully professional. He's not bothering with the latter right now, both because he's a bit annoyed and because he thinks it would be pointless, so instead everyone gets normal, slightly bitchy Lance.]

Okay, I wish I could say that I can't believe I have to remind people of this, but vigilante justice is not exactly the best idea here. Not only is it morally wrong to just declare yourself to have the authority to decide who is and isn't deserving of 'justice', but it's logically wrong too; you're just going to cause problems, not solve them.

I'm not saying not to intervene when something's actively happening, but going after someone days or weeks later is just starting the whole process of retaliation all over again. So can everyone just take their egos down a notch and, if they're concerned about someone being an active threat or something, work on coming up with some sort of solution that isn't going to make things worse as soon as it's done?

[This is not the first time he's had to go into this discussion while here--or at home--and so that's why he's being extra short about it. He's also not just talking about the recent incident, it's simply what prompted him to say something this time.]

Yeah, I'm talking to him about that right now. There are a few other people who are going to try to talk to her too, so although I'm not exactly ready to be optimistic, you know.

[At least there's the start of a plan of action, and maybe it'll go better than expected?]

[evocation]

Because she's...

[Kyna hesitates.]

Okay, not nuts.

[She does this for you, Lance!]

What would you call her, in your professional opinion?

[lifetothefullest]

[He gives her a small smile for the effort.]

I'd call her not human, literally, and so we can't use human psychology for her. This could be completely normal for her species.

[evocation]

Not human, huh? What are you trying to say?

[She flicks one of her pointed ears, lips twitching as she tries to hide a smile.]

Demons suck. I hate whenever we have to take a job with one.

[lifetothefullest]

Hey, you're half human, which means I can use human psychology half the time.

[He's totally not serious, but he manages to say it with a straight face.]

I think there have been a few demons here that were easy enough to get along with, but if the ones from your home are like Caedra I can't say that isn't warranted.

[evocation]

[She bursts out laughing.]

God, what do you use the rest of the time? And they're totally like Caedra.

[lifetothefullest]

[He thought she'd find that funny, but he's still relieved at the laughter. As for the question--]

I just make things up, obviously.

Lame. I'm sitting out demon-hunting jobs when we get back to your world; I'll do paperwork or something.

[evocation]

You can just psychoanalyze all of the new kids.

[She grins.]

You still wanna come back with us?

[lifetothefullest]

I can definitely do that.

[And he's a little more serious as he answers, but he nods.]

I still want to see if there are options to use the Door to get back at... You know, a good time. But if not, yeah, you're stuck with me.

[evocation]

God, what am I gonna do? That sounds miserable.

[She says, looking delighted.]

[lifetothefullest]

[He can't help but smile again at that.]

We'll both just have to figure out how to survive somehow.
