[More tapping at the table, but this time, there's the barest hint of anxiety to it. It was easier, yes, but all that turmoil was still down there, buried deep away from the surface.]
I've... had this weird thing on my arm for a few weeks, now. It's something that other me had; a curse, kinda. From everything I remember, it's probably gonna turn me into a monster sometime soon. Don't know how long I've got, but I know I've got some time.
Wait. -Probably more forceful than she'd meant for it to be. She raises her finger, a literal stop, before finishing the rest of her drink, letting it come back down heavily onto the table.-
You said you were gonna die, now you're saying you're just gonna change. So which is it?
[Her brow creases, and the corners of her mouth twitch into a scowl.]
Don't you give me that. My past self was obsessed with makin' this thing go away, and I've wracked my brain and a couple others for some magic fix-all ideas. Just 'cause I'm keeping my head on straight doesn't mean I've thrown the fight.
-She wanted to keep arguing... not because she had a point, but because the part of her that was still so petulantly childish wanted to. Because to do otherwise would be to accept what Freya has, that it's an inevitability, and they needed to prepare for it.
May wilted, slumping into her seat... the argument never came.-
[The silence sits heavy between them, and Freya has to fight to keep from reaching for her drink just to do something with it.]
Keep your chin up, yeah? We don't know what'll happen. All those crazy powers I've got showed up way before this thing, and this grand curse of mine's supposed to be the source of all that. Might not work the same, here.

Changing. If you're soulless and mindless you might as well be dead. Kinda worse off, actually.

It sounds to me like you're just giving up.

Didn't mean to be that much of a downer after our little make-up session. Thought you should know.
