[sarcaskick]

I already am.

[ He takes another sip, rolling his eyes in thought for a moment. ]

I bet... you don't make a habit of it because you went way overboard once and it scared you straight.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

[ She sips her drink sedately ]

Oh my, what wild theories.

[sarcaskick]

You're really not going to at least tell me if I'm hot or cold on these guesses? Throw me a bone, Pyrrha!

[pyrrhaicvictory]

No, I'm enjoying the fact that you have to guess and I get to be mysterious and aloof.

[sarcaskick]

... Touché, champ. Alright. Hit me with a question. I'll try to take it at least fifty percent seriously.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Up it to 70 and I'll consider it.

[sarcaskick]

As a gesture of good faith, I'll give you 75.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

What will you do after the Vytal Festival?

[sarcaskick]

Specifically? I dunno. I mean I'll be heading back to Haven once everything's over, obviously. Still attending school and all that. Why?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Just curious. You don't seem very driven. No offense.

[sarcaskick]

None taken. You have to try pretty hard to hurt my feelings.

At the end of the day, I guess I just want to see interesting stuff. I don't have any real goals or ambitions. Just "kill the Grimm" and "don't be bored".

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I suppose that's not so strange either.

[sarcaskick]

Got me here, didn't it? I'd say things went pretty well.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

So far, so good.

[sarcaskick]

Now let me ask you something. Was this always what you wanted to be? Or did you just kind of grow into it when you realized you were good at it?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I couldn't really tell you. It was so long ago.

[ she takes another sip ] Maybe it's both. Blurred so completely, it's hard to separate.

[sarcaskick]

[ He nods a bit, taking... a significantly larger sip than she did. ]

Guess I just kind of wonder what a world without the Grimm would actually be like. What would any of us be doing instead?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I don't know . . . maybe we would be normal. Mundane.

[sarcaskick]

Sounds kind of boring, when you put it like that.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

It does. But maybe it would be safer . . . even happier. We have no way of knowing.

[sarcaskick]

Unless we manage to wipe them out in our lifetime, and what're the odds of that?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Not as high as I'd like them to be.

[sarcaskick]

Yeah, I pretty much agree.

... Welp!

[ He lifts his glass anyway, offering a toast. ]

To taking down as many as we can, anyway. Screw 'em.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

[ She clicks her glass with his ]

To being a Huntress. Or Hunter.

[sarcaskick]

You didn't say "screw 'em", but good enough. I'll allow it.

[ Another swig, down the hatch. ]
