At What Price Respect

Verity in the forum? Not a strange sight. Verity without coffee? Rather less common. Verity slumping, exhausted, into a couch? Unusual. Verity covered in scrapes, bruises, and dust? Definitely strange.

"Help isn't if it's forced on someone. This is true. Someone not in possession of all of the facts cannot give fully informed consent. This is also true. But nobody can be forced to listen." Of course Verity has things on her mind. Who here doesn't? "How do you reconcile that? Is ignorance truly bliss? Or do you do what's needed to save someone despite their choices?"

((A note before you come to play with Verity: she's got a magic spell stuck in her that lets her always know when someone is lying to her. This includes sarcasm and knowing when someone believes something to be true when it isn't. This doesn't include lies of omission. She can also see through illusions. Please respect this; if your character is trying to lie to her, please make that known so she can react appropriately. [I completely understand this isn't going to be everyone's idea of fun.] Thanks.))

"Aw, seriously?" He sighs. "The insurance forms're always such a pain in the ass. And he's just gonna tell me," he clears his throat and affects a deep, solemn doctor-voice, "'well, mister Barton, you have an awful lot of burns and bruises. You should probably stop doing things, and also put on the ointments and bandages that you're already wearing. Only with help from Nurse Coldhands.'"

"We're, uh, still kinda takin' a little break," he admits. "But fine. I'll go."

"Well, there's still, y'know, trust issues." He's glad for the change of subject. Even a hospital trip is better than talking about his relationship. "Yeah. I'll meet ya there."
