Finn's face screwed up slightly, becoming a bit sour for just a moment before his usual cold expression was back firmly in place. "First of all, sounds like a challenge to me. Second of all, shut it, Jack lover." Yes. What a spectacular insult that was.

Chel cracked a grin because if that was the best insult he could come up with, they were in business. It meant whatever this trouble was really mattered to him.
"Hey no skin off my teeth. I ain't dyin' to hear how nasty your sheets must be." She shrugged and went back to lunging for a shadowling, but she was too slow and Finn had already stabbed it through. "Lover's a new one though."

Finn scoffed, and took a step back, possibly to give the shadowlings a chance to go after her instead. "I keep my sheets quite clean, thank you."
Not that anything was happening on them anyways. Or would anytime soon.
"Come on, darling, you've stuck with him this long. Why is beyond me, unless, of course, you have ~~feelings~~" He waggled a set of fingers at her. "So yes, lover. I'm sticking with it."
Even if it was lame.

"By that thinkin', you're the real gay lover. You been with him even longer than me." A dig about sexuality was as deep as Chel could go at the moment; the spineless sort of insulting was what meant that Finn had hit home in an odd sort of way.
She kicked a shadowling across the chin, sending it flying into the wall. "If I did have feelin's?" she posed back at him.

"He's a lot easier to put up with then yours, I imagine." She knew who, he didn't need to say the names out loud. Again, he needed a moment to think her question over, and not just because a couple more shadows were inching towards him. Not so long ago, a couple of days or more, his answer might have been very different. He might have scoffed, mocked or insulted, and moved on. Now, however... "Then you need to decide how much it's worth it to keep trying, I guess, if feelings were never supposed to be part of the equation, and depending on if he has any to give back." He shrugged, giving a rather serious and thoughtful answer for once. Her words had struck a little close to home as well.

Chel had meant that Finn had been with Jack longer than she had, but the fact that he had redirected the insult towards Ripley was interesting. Very interesting, and she said nothing on the matter.
She gave a "cover me" motion to Finn and paused for a moment to wipe her forehead off and redo her ponytail. Her bangs kept falling in her face and it was annoying her. There was no reason to hide her face anymore, everyone had already seen the scars. Might as well flaunt them.
"How much you think it's worth it?" It was indeterminable if Chel was talking about Jack or Ripley now.

Finn moved to give her the cover she needed, though his movements were becoming less smooth as his arms began to fatigue the more he swung, and the stupid little shadowling bastards were getting more swipes in on him now then they had been before. "That also depends." He answered her, "On what you're willing to risk. I can't tell you how much it might be worth it. That's something you've got to figure out for yourself. But Jack....ya, I don't know. Never thought of him from a potential boyfriend point of view. I know. Shocking." All of this talking was distracting. Yes, that's what he'd blame his new set of claw cuts on.

"Don't act like you don't got the hots for 'im," Chel said sternly, fixing her ponytail in place tightly. Her hands curled back around her daggers and she gave another unspoken cue for "I'm back," followed with a slight killsteal.
She let out a long breath that bled into the push of her arm along another shadowling. "I'm gonna bring it up when he gets back. I mean f'he gets back," she said with a roll of her eyes. The statement was more for herself than Finn. "

"He's hot," Finn conceded. "But I don't have the hots for him." And that was the truth. As much as he might toss sexual innuendos the other mans way and allude a level of relationship they certainly didn't have, all they were and ever had been, was very good friends who told each other pretty much everything. Jack knew more about Finn then anybody else, and not just out of people on the island. He grunted at her steal, pivoting on one foot to stab at a shadowling that was still several feet away. "And if he deflects? Or says no? What then?" He asked, suddenly curious about what she would do if Jack rejected her. "Going to do something stupid again? Summon Merlin to take care of all of your problems?" He asked, making a slightly disgusted sound before swinging his lance around in a full circle to keep the shadowlings that were accumulating around them back.

"I'll figure somethin' out. I want somethin' more but it don't mean I mind what I got now neither," Chel rebuffed. She never really had a plan for these things, and the truth of it was she was too scared to make plans for rejection. "You can at least rest easy knowin' Merlin don't come to me no more. I know you was losin' sleep over it."
She grinned sideways to let Finn know that she was very much joking. There was a well established line that Finn had created to let Chel he worried for nothing over her.
"The Ripley thing big enough that I should worry 'bout you too?" she asked, just in case.

Finn thought about that for a moment, and nodded. "Willing to settle in order to keep having at least something. I can understand that." But he didn't think that was even an option for him anymore. Well, maybe it was. He couldn't really be sure at this point. Maybe nothing was going to change at all, when Ripley finally came around so that they could have their talk. Ugh. It was a ******** mess already and Finn hated messy things. "No, don't worry about me, darling. This isn't my first relationship rodeo." Lame. He sounded so ******** lame. Everything about this was beginning to ruin him. "Things will get better, or they won't." He shrugged, "Not much about it that I can do at this point."

That was a good way of putting it. No matter Jack's response, she still wanted something. It was something she would bring up later with him, and had Chel not been so unwilling to lose face she would've thanked Finn for it.
She made a note that Finn chose to define it as a relationship. The last time she'd prodded Ripley it had been a bit more loose than that. "Always somethin' you can do," she chimed in, slicing an amorphous shadow down the center. "Oooh he dyin' from zombie cancer or somethin' though? Not really a ton you can do about that."
Always on the positive side, that Chel.

Finn let out a light grunt, though whether in response to her or to the shadowling that lunged at him was unknown. Wiping some sweat from his brow, he turned towards her, and frowned. "Balls in his court, I mean. Which is to say my balls are now in nobodies court and I'm frustrated as ******** because of it." He grimaced slightly as another shadowling jumped at him, taking a swing and knocking it to the side, where it just bounded back again, this time towards Chel.

Chel spent a long a** time trying to figure out if what Finn had just said was an innuendo or not.
"Wait he dumped you?" Giving Chel very little detail was a bad idea because she jumped to conclusions very quickly. "Or I guess not dumped you since- Wait I'm confused, didn't you guys make a deal that it was only about sex or some s**t?" She kicked the shadow he sent her way, and the black substance fused back into the wall with its other shadow friends. Not really defeated, but at least out of her way for the time being.

"No." He growled, but only because his teeth were gritted tight as he took a few more swings at the shadowlings. "And yes, kind of. It's complicated." He shrugged, eyeing the writhing mass of darkness before trying to focus on the conversation at hand.
"It's kind of like you, I guess. Just trying to decide if more is worth it."
