Conclusion to a set of drawings + OC Art - Ayano/Hi-Power Hornet & Judy/Navy Cougar

-

"I don't want you to forgive me, Judy. What I did isn't something that can just be brushed under the rug. Headquarters know, and I'm gonna be sent for a week in the cells again. And that's not the least of it."

"Look, Ayano, the wounds are barely even there now. In like thirty seconds, they'll be totally gone. It doesn't matter now. It's fine."

"No it isn't! If it happened once, it could easily happen again; I have no control over my violent outbursts! All I wanted to do was give you back your necklace so you don't have to deal with me anymore. I did what I needed to, and now you can go your separate way."

"Are you kidding? Our rivalry is iconic! We wouldn't want our adoring public to miss another altercation between Hornet and Navy C, don't we? It may not seem like it to you, but we're perfect together! In a messy, dysfunctional, hit-and-kick each-other way, but that's what makes it so special! I'd rather close down my café for good than keep my distance from you. I couldn't have asked for a better gal to call my competition."

"What changed? Alice told me you were all 'Ayano's a monster', 'She should be locked up' and whatnot."

"You stabbing me was partly my fault; I overstepped my boundaries and completely disregarded your possible reaction. I stooped to a low I shouldn't have. You still hurt me, but I pretty much asked for it that time. And besides, the wounds are completely gone, and I feel perfectly fine now, so who cares? It's all in the past!"

"...So what are you trying to say?"

"I want to go back to our usual routine hitting and kicking. How's that sound?"

"...

...Sure."
