[Bulla pauses and considers.]

That depends on who you're going to throw them at.

[Loki ties one of the balloons and weighs it in his hand.]

Well, I am not going to throw any balloon at you.

[fashionably_strong]

Who are you going to throw a balloon at? I'm just going to throw out a suggestion here and say "not the cheerleading squad or the football team" would be a good idea.

[The cheerleading squad because she's a member of it, and so are several of her friends, and the football team because her boyfriend's on it, and most of the football team will beat Loki up for this.]

[not_a_troll]

Well, considering the statistics... The football team is already quite fond of pummeling me. It would not matter if I would throw these at them. Even without them I end up with fists buried into my stomach.

[The tone of his voice is light, as if there isn't a care in the world.]

[fashionably_strong]

I hope Neji hasn't been pummeling you. He shouldn't, unless you specifically target him.

[She expects better than that from her boyfriend. Cato...well. He's good to Clove, at least.]

[not_a_troll]

I am not talking about Neji. I think Neji is an exception to the rule. But Cato is quite fond of burying a fist into my person.

[fashionably_strong]

Well, I'm glad that Neji isn't beating you up. I'm sorry Cato does...I'll ask Clove to talk to him, if you'd like?

[Of course, that required her to convince Clove that Loki didn't deserve pummeling...]

[not_a_troll]

No.

[He shakes his head.]

I do not wish people to interfere with that. After all, Cato is of a higher class than I am. It would only cause trouble for me.

[fashionably_strong]

I'm of just as high a class as Cato and Clove is one of my best friends. I know if would be trouble for you if you went to a teacher, but this is me talking to my friend and asking her to talk to her boyfriend.

[While she's aware that sometimes Loki earns being smacked for playing pranks on the wrong people, she's not okay with him actually being pummeled.]

[not_a_troll]

I do not wish to be labeled as a victim. Because I am not. It is saddening and discouraging, and sometimes I do question my self worth. But if I would give into that...

[He ties another balloon.]

...it would make me as weak as they think I am.

[fashionably_strong]

[That is one of the saddest things anyone's ever admitted to her, and she has to admire his determination even as she thinks he'll only get himself in more trouble.

She decides to help tie the balloons, even though she's not planning on throwing any.]

Well, if you want an alibi, you were helping me look for the earring I dropped in the school hallway and you totally weren't anywhere near here throwing water balloons.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki nods and smiles a very, very mischievous smile.]

Aye! Losing an earring can be quite worrying, you know?

[He ties the balloons with utmost dedication.]

[fashionably_strong]

With the amount that I pay for my earrings? It really can.

[The girl's got expensive tastes. She helps tie up another balloon. She might not be prepared to throw one at anyone, but she's okay with providing Loki with plenty of ammo as long as he doesn't aim any of these her way or at her closest friends.]

[not_a_troll]

I am unable to fathom why you wish to pay such a large amount of money for simple earrings. They do not look that special, you know.

[Loki moves to tie the last balloon and puts it carefully in a plastic bag.

[fashionably_strong]

Because they're top quality gold, rather than the cheap gold-sprayed or gold-plated ones? I have sensitive skin.

[She pauses.]

Why are you putting them in a bag?

[not_a_troll]

Gold.

[He shakes his head.]

Do all maidens require golden earrings?

I am putting them in a bag so I am able to transport them properly.
