031 ☣ she has a lot of true colors

[The feed is at a slightly awkward angle, held one-handed. It's Anya and Two-Face. She's behind him, her chin on his shoulder on the scarred side, her other arm wrapped around him and holding a slim black knife at his throat. The knife and her hand are already thoroughly bloody, though his neck is - thus far - unscathed. Two-Face looks furious and strained. Anya looks fierce but cold and calm, almost serene.]

Two-Face is losing a lot of blood. Someone should come help him to the infirmary. We're in the library, historical nonfiction, MA to MC.

Why?

[She answers later, once Two-Face has been taken away and she's washed her hands and changed clothes. She's - wan, her hair a little mussed, but she doesn't look disturbed or even terribly shaken.]

He tried to kill me.

Yes. I assumed. Why?

[She takes a breath. It's - complicated, and she doesn't know for sure how much she's right about, and she hates that. But she promised to answer Abigail's questions.]

He hates me for being Harvey's friend, because he gets his strength from being all Harvey has in a world of betrayal.

And he shrieked something about three and not needing a spare, so...presumably something to do with that. You'd have to ask him for the details.

Oh.

[She actually looks sort of guilty about that. A spare. Conflicted, because she understands both Harvey and Two-Face and doesn't want to make either of them choose. But Anya loves Ben like he should be loved.]

I - hm. [No apologizing.] I . . . are you okay?

I'm -

[She cuts herself off before she gets to fine.]

- I'll have a few bruises. I'm wound up on adrenaline and I'm going to crash. I'm not sure yet. I don't know if I'm entirely sanguine with what happened, but I don't think I'll be traumatized, either.

All right. I'd offer to talk but I don't think I'd be much help and it would probably be disingenuine. Which I'd rather not be, if I can help it. With you.

I guess - if you know you're going to crash, make sure you have a comforter on hand. A big one.

[She smiles, weak and tired, but honestly grateful. It's good advice.]

I will. Thank you.
