I don't want to kill people.

[ she's killed enough of them by accident. it's not her way, even if it would make things simpler. ]

I think a part of me knew I'd need her later. She's a very old witch and I'm very new to it. And she's the only witch I know.

[ it has to come in handy sometime in the future, surely. ]

Maybe it's silly to keep her alive.

[rocinantes]

Just seems like asking for trouble unless you think you can keep her in line.

( she's powerful, sure, but she's still human. she has weaknesses. amos crosses his arms and shrugs. )

Your life, though. Your choice.

[explosion]

[ she sighs quietly, ] I know.

[ agatha is a dangerous person to keep alive, but she's also burning with knowledge. wanda has a feeling agatha will be useful and friendly sometime in the near future. ]

I'd offer to take you on a tour, but I fear if I do I might never want to leave.

[rocinantes]

I don't knw if that's really a choice you have either. If we're here because of that city, they're gonna take you back.

( somehow.

he sighs and looks around. )

Seems...okay.

[explosion]

[ she chuckles. ] You don't like it.

[ she isn't surprised. she thinks amos likes space, all the darkness, the lack of being grounded so permanently. she thinks he's someone who likes to move about and not be trapped.

amos is definitely not mike brady. ]

It's very... [ her brows furrow as she considers her words. ] Do you know the Patridge Family?

[rocinantes]

Yeah, but I don't hate it.

( at her question, he shakes his head. )

No, they friends of yours?

[explosion]

[ wanda can't help but laugh. ]

Kind of. They're a fictional family—a TV show I used to watch when I was younger. Everything in their world was perfect. Not a hair out of place.

[ to her, anyway. there was clutter and mess and problems, but to wanda, it was perfect. ]

I wanted this place to be like that.

[rocinantes]

Ain't nothing perfect in the real world.

( but hey, if that's what she wants, he's not going to argue. he scrubs a hand over his face. )

I didn't really watch television when I was younger. Even if I did, I don't think they had these shows.

[explosion]

No?

[ her brows lift in surprise. sokovia had little, but what it had kept wanda afloat in times of distress. it's strange to her to think not everyone had the brady bunch to keep them company or the addams family to encourage them to be weird. ]

Maybe I will make you sit and watch an episode one day.

[ the memory begins to fade. ]

[rocinantes]

I don't know if I'd be able to sit through it. It sounds kind of...

( not like his thing. he wouldn't doubt that she'd figure out a way to get him to watch but still. )

I might fall asleep.

[explosion]

And then I will get a marker and draw all over your face.

[ she reaches her hand up and moves it in front of his face as if she does have a marker. ]

It's what you get for falling asleep during one of the most important shows of our generation.

[ she's lying.

kardashians is probably one of the most important. a guide on what not to do—and how to build an empire. ]

[rocinantes]

You really have no fear about anything, do you?

( since there's not too many people that would dare to do that. )

Pretty impressive.

[explosion]

I have my fears, but I control them.

[ or she tries to. westview had been proof that she had merely placed it in the vessels of everyone else.

she shrugs her shoulders, though the movement isn't to be dismissive. it's merely stating what she feels is a fact. ]

What is there to fear? You won't hurt me.

[ it's not can't. not many people can hurt wanda. but she doesn't think amos would choose to. ]

[rocinantes]

And how do you know that?

( he's hurt people that he's liked before whether intentionally or not. )

Why do you believe in me like that?
