[ reading the rules ]

I know you see the 7 point option. We can't do that.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I feel very seen.

[preciousjem]

You'd get more points, but it helps our average if I put SOME points in.

Plus, we don't even know what it'll do. That's too risky.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

....................wouldn't 7 still be better for our average because that would be 3.5 instead of 3.

[preciousjem]

That's assuming it's only us.
A zero isn't gonna help us overall even if you earn a seven.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

It will though, that's how averages work. Add up all the points and divide. 7 plus 0 is still higher than 3 plus 3 no matter how many people you divide it by. How many of those tutoring lessons were you just staring at that guy's boobs?

1/2

[preciousjem]

He wouldn't let me see—

[preciousjem]

Can we please just do the less risky one?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

But....math.....

[preciousjem]

If math is all that matters, then I'll do it.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I don't care about math. I just don't want Jem Jem to have to give something up and I also want to make sure we win in case this is the time that losing absolutely fucks us up.

[preciousjem]

You've sacrificed enough.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

A little more won't kill me then, right?

[preciousjem]

Doesn't me not wanting you to get hurt count for something?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

All right..... All right, all right. No seven.

[preciousjem]

I'm sorry.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Three and three…right?

[preciousjem]

[ staring at the terminal ]

...Right.

What're we sacrificing?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We could go three rounds of one if we’re aiming for low impact.

[preciousjem]

What if other Arias assume we're going hard and also go hard?

I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't've argued...

[gottalearntoplayitright]

The others are going to do whatever they're going to do. Since we're all separated, they're on their own to make their own choices, even if winning or losing will impact us all.

[Pulls her over to have a seat]

What do you want to do, Zora? Not should or shouldn't. Just....what do you want?

[preciousjem]

[ sits and leans on him ]

I don't want you to give anything up. But. If everyone is going to lose something even if we win, we should get to pick what it is.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Wraps an arm around her shoulders]

Okay. So, how many points?

[preciousjem]

[ loosely curves an arm around his waist ]

Three is okay. I'd rather give up something big for a short amount of time than something small for a long time.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Agreed. A day goes by so quick and since we get to pick...
