Yeah. [ he sounds...a little proud, in an offshoot kinda way. ] When he wears it, he's basically invincible. He can melt into the shadows and travel through walls, and he's invisible. He can't be touched or seen or heard. People say that that helm is the reason why most creatures fear the dark. It's got enough power to drive fear into a person so intensely it'll make them insane or stop their heart all together.
[ the longer he talks, the more it's both casual and a little weary like "this is my legacy." ]
[she leans forward a bit, off the bed, fidgety. gets her hands under her and lifts herself up so she's using her upper body strength to hover her butt off the bed for a couple of seconds, just - the kind of stuff jittery kids do when they can't sit still.]
That's way overpowered, wow. [...] Why's it on the coin?
[ listen, he gets it. he gets fidgety sometimes too. ]
Yeah, it is. [ but there's a pause to that. ] It's...a dumb symbolic thing. About being two sides of the same coin. [ he flips it to the sun side and does not sound like he thinks it's dumb and that he's saying it this way for nimona's benefit. instead he sounds pretty fond.] It's just a reminder that if we're ever separated he's still thinking about me. He has something of mine, too, for similar reasons.
[ ig i should also say that if she at all noticed will's tattoo from strip today the sun is identical right down to the last flare and point. anyway thanks for being nice about it. ]
It's disgusting. [ sagely. but he cannot keep himself from sounding fond. ] ...my life would be drastically different if I didn't give him a chance to try. I spent the better part of a year trying to figure out why he liked me, but he's still here so I guess I have to get used to it.

You guys are all about each other, huh. Gross. [but she's trying to be nice about it, because it's important to him and she respects that.]
