Whoa, hey!

[She holds up her hands, not a terribly useful gesture over video, but. Still.]

When I was growing up I hunted vampires. Eventually, the Vampire King was the only one left. I stake him, he bites me--

Thousand years later, here I am. Look, I'm not going to start something, all right? If I wanted to dust the baby bats I'd have done it already.

[ She lets out a groan, pressing the heels of her palms in her eyes. ]

Not without going through me, first.

[ And does that mean she couldn't pull that off? Kanaya isn't sure. But if she had to die, that would be the best one she's had yet. ]

I just. Thought I might have had one ally in this. Between everyone who either thinks Matthews did nothing wrong, or that the fledglings are monsters who shouldn't be allowed to survive. The only thing anyone agrees on is that I'm obviously the villain!

I wasn't--

[uuugh. Marceline puts her head in her hands, looking down for a second.]

They're not monsters, and you're not the bad guy here! Matthews messed up, bad. They need all the help they can get. [And she knows what it's like to be scared and alone with a curse she never asked for. She means what she's said again and again, the fledglings are harmless. With the guidance and help they're getting.]

You deserved to know, all right? That's it.

[ Kanaya takes a deep breath, trying to sort everything out. Be rational about this, Kanaya, think it out. It's been a touchy subject from the start, but what is Marceline actually saying here? It doesn't necessarily change anything, it's the past, not the future. ]

Okay. Alright.

So, what happens from here?

Nothing changes. But if everything goes wrong, like... really, really crazy wrong? I'm gonna stop them.

How do you-- [ No, she isn't even going to humor that question. Marceline's made that clear enough already. ]

I won't let that happen. I won't let the circumstances that you think would call for it happen.

[She nods.]

I know you won't. [Marceline trusts Kanaya with this. Even if it was something she could bring herself to try to handle, she knows she wouldn't be able to manage it.]
