Fair warning. You've got an angry girlfriend coming your way. Adora and I got into it a bit.

Got into it a bit??? What does that mean???

Ah, I may've been a bit stupid.

She came to make sure I was okay and ask what'd make me happy. I asked her what would make her happy. And she fed me a line about how making us happy would make her happy. So I called her on lying to me and hammered on her a little harder than I needed to, I guess. Tried to make her jealous. Worked too, I think, but she didn't get it.

I just-I wanted her to be honest with herself and realize that her happiness matters too. And I failed at that because she just-she's so stubborn.

[ Tenten gets a message indicating Catra is typing. It disappears after a moment. Reappears. It goes through that a couple times before finally there's a reply. ]

Yeah. She's a stubborn idiot, I could have told you that much. I asked her that before too, but I got the same stupid answer. She's focused on sacrificing herself for everyone else around her and I don't know how to stop that.

Trying to run into her head on is just going to get you knocked over. You have to come at it from a different angle. I think I've had a little success relating it to my own experiences but it's hard to tell.

Also gods I really don't want to be in the middle of this crap.

Sorry. I was just trying to help.

I didn't realize how dense she could be, but she kind of irritated me when she acted like she was okay with everything when she clearly wasn't.

I told her that what would make me happiest would be to date you, that I could make you as happy as she did, and she just deflected. Said that you'd be with me if you wanted to. That's about when I lost my temper and really started jumping down her throat, more than I should have.

I'll apologize to her when we've both had some time to cool down. I didn't mean to make trouble for you. I'm sorry.

And I know I can't make you as happy as she does. I was just trying to get some kind of reaction out of her. Try to get her to be a little selfish.

I tried to get her to be jealous before too. She's so... Ugh.

She needs to learn to care about herself. Like, what you said was stupid and probably hurt her. At the same time, I get it. I get wanting her to be honest about what she wants and not to just... Give people what she thinks will make them happiest.

You're both idiots.

Yeah, I am.

She got jealous when I mentioned that we hugged, though. Just for a second, but I could see it. I'm trained to spot things like that.

So, just so you know. You're important enough to her that she wants you to herself. She just can't say it.

Good to know, I guess. Now I just get to deal with her being mad at you.

I'll see if she comes to talk to me. I hope she does but who knows what's going on in that head? Thanks for filling me in, though.

[She'll just send this the next day. Drama's probably died down by then.]

Oh, right, do you have Adora's measurements? I think I've got her arm length and all that down, but there's some more, uh, subtle bits that I don't exactly know by heart.

It's for her birthday.

I'll see what I can do.

I just need, like, ballpark. This isn't going to be form-fitting or anything.

I may need some help getting it done on time, though. Adora's a bit bigger than I am and I'm being dumb again. Sorry, I've got some of my spare bits of chain mail that I'm trying to link together. She's not She-Ra all the time and she's the type to lead with her chin, so some hidden protection couldn't hurt.

yeah well she's not going to slow down and take care of herself or think about what she wants anytime soon so it's a good gift.

Sorry. I was really way harder on her than I should've been, in retrospect, so it might take her a while.

[If at all. Good thing Catra can't see Tenten's wince.]

Feel like tedious handwork or, uh. Just talking while I do that?

not really, sorry.

just pissed about she refuses to think of herself right now.

might go punch some shit in the training room
