[provoke]

He offered to help with my false eye. Courtesy demands I at least respond to him, if just to refuse.

[behavioural]

ok
as long as you're refusing his offer

i don't want you getting mixed up with him

[provoke]

I am. It requires some subterfuge, but it would have seemed suspicious more to have not engaged him as I have others.

Did you know he could manipulate metal?

[behavioural]

yes

i'm familiar with his abilities

[provoke]

He could cause you great harm, if he wishes. The bond is yet unsevered?

[behavioural]

he's already tried

the bond is still intact

[provoke]

[ what ]

Pierce, when? He attacked you?

[behavioural]

it doesn't matter
i took care of him

[provoke]

Will you not tell me when these things happen? If you should get hurt?

[behavioural]

no, they're only injuries

[provoke]

That you've sustained. How severe?

[behavioural]

i get hurt all the time, aemond
most of the time, i don't even notice it
don't worry about it

[provoke]

[ well, now he feels obliged to. ]

I mislike that I do not know this.

[behavioural]

it isn't that big of a deal

[provoke]

You are being harmed. You want me to not care of it?

[behavioural]

( he has experienced what happens whenever he says yes to this question enough times that he knows better to not answer truthfully, so— )

i can defend myself just fine
especially against lehnsherr

[provoke]

I didn't ask if you could defend yourself. I know you have the abilities needed to end his life, if you wanted.

Do you want me to not worry about this?

[behavioural]

ideally, i wouldn't want you to have to worry

[provoke]

[ that means no, then. ]

I would never ask you to stop fighting, when I would fight as often myself.

Will you at least try to win with the least possible injury?

[behavioural]

i'll definitely win

[provoke]

And I appreciate your confidence.

[behavioural]

look
i'm not sure how to explain it but
i don't fight not to get hurt
it's usually quite the opposite

[provoke]

I'm not quite understanding what you mean, Pierce. What are you telling me?

[behavioural]

i want to get hurt
that's what i mean

[provoke]

[ he- ]

Is that why you urged me to fight you, when we first met?
