Wally can be a real jerk. But he's maybe the most loyal person I've ever met. That's why he was mad when he thought you were replacing Roy, and it's why he's mad now. Because he thinks you didn't trust him, or need him, or something. I don't know.

But I do know he likes you when you're not butting heads. Like back in Bialya, before he remembered he was supposed to be stubborn about everything. You guys work well together.

And if we're being honest against our better judgment: he likes you so much I'm actually jealous sometimes.

... Forget I said that, okay?

The point is if he didn't like you, he wouldn't have been that hurt. And that's how I know he still wants everything to be okay.

Even if he isn't acting like it.

[That is a lot to deal with all at once. Also... Robin gets jealous? Of her?]

Ok, fine, but what am I supposed to do about it? I told him the truth this time and it just made things worse.

[ TAKE THAT TO YOUR GRAVE, ARTEMIS. ]

Sorry. That was long. But it was important.

... I don't know how to fix this. But you're just as much a member of this team as he is. Please don't leave.

[real_archer]

... Ok

And Robin? i know he's your best friend, so... thanks.

[performance]

You're my friend, too.

[real_archer]

Yeah... same here.

[Not an overwhelming expression of friendship, but she's bad at this and that's the best she can do]

Sorry. I won't run away, I promise. Just call me if you need me.

[performance]

And Artemis? If you ever just want to hang out, no bad guys invited...

That's cool, too.

[real_archer]

That'd be nice, Robin. Thanks. I mean it... thanks for everything.

[performance]

You'd have done the same for me.

[real_archer]

[That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to her. Robin, the Boy Wonder, still trusts her not only as a teammate, but as a friend.

Artemis... kind of can't handle it right now.]

yeah, well.. see you later

[performance]

Night, Artemis.

Take care of yourself.
