#the manachrams

Felix: Weiss would also be very adamant to get the truth out of them

Jaime: maybe yeah

Jaime: I wasn't thinking of Blake saying something bad but just something that left them emotionally vulnerable?

Jaime: hence the retreat

Felix: mm

Jaime: tbh I'm kinda cheesy and like the idea of a sorta confession before they get rescued and then both are in denial about it until later or something

Felix: oh me too

Jaime: so that's what I was thinking about with that bit

Felix: you said something bad

Felix: so I wasn't sure to assume on "I love yous" before the grave

Jaime: oh

Felix: although they probably say it in a less direct way

Jaime: idk I was thinking like, Blake staring into Weiss' eyes, grasping her hand weakly, and being all "Weiss, if we had more time, I..." and trailing off

Felix: oh god

Jaime: and it's not "I love you"s but still very obvious feelings stuff

Felix: Weiss makes them live because no fucking way are they dying without her hearing the rest of that

Jaime: goddddd she would

Jaime: make Blake stay alive out of spite

Jaime: "you can't have that be your final words!"

Felix: "yOU WHAT YOU DAMNED INSUFERABLE GIANT ALLEY CAT???"

Felix: yeah no, she's probably chase Blake's soul to the underworld

Felix: kinda like Orpheus, but out of spite more than love

Jaime: diplomacy au au where Blake actually dies and Weiss leads Coco's crew on a journey through hell to find Blake's soul and bring them back to life "I didn't pay this asshole cat to die on me!"

So maybe we made another fucking au at 3 in the fucking morning.
