Emiola spun around, the garbage lid slamming down with such force that the resounding THUD echoed a little, sending her pigtails floofing backwards from the sudden woosh of wind. Her eyes were wide, but it wasn't like anyone could really tell. Despite Masoal's frantic crankiness, she only smiled.
"Dude!" She laughed her obnoxious laugh, the kind that was caught between a giggle and a chuckle and a full blown snort, "Where did you go! I was getting soooooo bored..." She sniffed, the laughter seeming to stifle, but her smile sure didn't, "Thought you were a goner!" Her hand papped the top of the garbage can lid, the thuds hallow and empty sounding.
"Glad you turned up though. I was worried I'd have to start super-duper looking!" And that sounded like a chore. Search and rescues were fun in games of hide and seek, but not like, actual rescues...

The argument didn't fall on deaf ears. In fact, Masoal was glad she was saying something, anything that wasn't there's nothing to worry about or haha let it go dude. Where he might've been entirely too confrontational, she was too passive. She went out of her way to do ignorant things, but didn't have the gumption to back it up, to defend herself if things got tough.
That's what Masoal thought, anyway. Eventually something would go wrong and she wouldn't be able to worm her way out of it by doing absolutely nothing.
"It's not always serious," he said, "but sometimes it's not fun, too! We're in a weird place and you don't even care. What will you do when you're alone with no lusus in a weird place? Can you take care of yourself? Can you? Do you even know what you're doing any of the time?"
Honestly, this may have been the most Masoal said to anyone at any given time.

At least that seemed to get Emiola to calm down. Her eyes were still wide, but she was starting to de-ruffle, her hair falling back into place slowly. "I mean..." Emi looked down at her shoes, then to Masoal's (which were still shoe less), "Nothing bad's ever happened before..." Which was true.
"I guess I just go with the flow, ya'know?" It was how she'd always done things, "I mean, I don't think Maccue's ever left me alone for that long..." But it was true, she guessed, that trolls had to become more self reliant as they got older. Maybe it was because she was a midblood, but she slid under the radar when it came to being bossed by highbloods, and she definitely wasn't expected to have the same responsibilities that highbloods had either. Being stuck in a weird limbo meant she got to do whatever she wanted, for the most part.
She was quiet for a second.
"Are you mad at me?" Emi asked in genuine earnest.

Yeah, Masoal was kinda mad, but it wasn't necessarily at Emiola, which was strange. The anger he felt, the annoyance, it was more at her attitude than her, though one might claim them the same thing. That wasn't how he saw it, though. For whatever reason, Masoal felt there was something more to her than that.
Finally he let go of her shoulders and stood back, crossed his arms.
"I'm mad," he said, "Kinda." Bringing up topics of serious discussion wasn't exactly the tealblood's strong suit. "Anything can happen. Just 'cause it hasn't doesn't mean it won't."
He moved next to her, leaning his back against the wall. "I don't want it to be too bad for you."

Emi sniffed, "It sounds real lousy goin' through life trying to dance around what ifs though..." She was taking the moment to look down over her hands, and then after a moment she rubbed the spot on her shoulder where she'd been shoved into the wall. "I mean... I guess it makes sense to be careful, but like. If you treat everything that way, you're never going to have any fun! It's-- It's... I dunno."
She looked at the tealblood, "'Cause I mean, that's just the thing, right? You never know what's gonna happen..." Her back slid down against the wall until she plopped down on her butt, her legs smushed up against her chest. "It's not like I have to worry about all that grown up serious stuff cause I'm not one yet..."
Surprisingly stubborn, but at least she was talking.
