[ i remember the simpler times..... before we all forgot about the "this puppy" rule due to neverending trauma ]
[ in any case, yuffie has already experienced some of these, so it doesn't startle her as badly as the first time it happens. she's quiet as it plays out. in fact, she shows remarkable restraint in not yelling at delilah the second her voice echoes in laudna's head, because yuffie already hated the idea of her. let alone actually hearing her talk -- the way she's obviously manipulating laudna. it reminds her very vividly of scarlet, which just confirms yuffie's gut feeling that delilah is the worst and laudna should never work with her. ]
[ in fact, the second delilah ends the sentence with 'if you're smart enough', yuffie does indeed mutter bitch under her breath. ]
[ seeing the rest of laudna's party centers her, takes her away from all that -- they're speaking sense, and they almost seem to be getting through to laudna. almost. especially imogen, a woman that yuffie has heard laudna speak about before. and frankly? a real babe. she would have said as much, if the memory hadn't ended the way it did. ]
[ but yuffie wrests with her feelings here, as much as she wants to run her mouth. opens her mouth. closes it. wants to tell her to tell delilah to go to hell and chase after imogen. really wants to. but this is about laudna. so, the first things out of her mouth: ]
[yeah pretty much. whatever laudna has said of it, delilah is very manipulative. whether she can actually force laudna to do anything is limited, but she's in complete control from a manipulation standpoint.
it feels bad to see this again, to remember this very painful fight, that she left things with orym and imogen so ugly and uncertain.]
[ this is tough because the reminder of delilah and how she's killed laudna and hurt really makes yuffie seethe. but they've talked about it before, so ]
I don't want to doubt you, Laudna.... you're crazy smart, and crazy strong too. But honestly? I know a woman that's so much like that. And she could talk her way into and out of everything. Super manipulative.
So I don't think it's worth it, to use her as a weapon. I get that you've had to rely on each other.... and that you're kind of stuck with each other, but I think she would throw you to the wolves again if she ever had the chance.
[ especially when you lose your smoking hot babe of a girlfriend over it ]
she does seem to listen to yuffie about this, though. not accepting it completely, but she's hearing her. these are things imogen has said many times, too, but hearing it again and again from people who only know her side of the story is making her question a lot.]
...I know. I know she would throw me to the wolves. And she does always manage to get her way. But if I can't get rid of her either way, then...
[ if this were a less serious thread that included a breakup yuffie would make her opinion on imogen's hotness very known. for the record. this is her new laudna otp and im not kidding on that, she ships them ]
It doesn't mean she has to get her way. I know you can't get rid of her, but that doesn't mean you have to listen to her. That hag doesn't deserve to get to use you.
[ don't worry, yuffie will continue to be an anti forever ]
