Oh, it does. Absolutely. [Furiosa isn't dismissing skill at all, but acknowledging that sometimes it could benefit from a little help.] but it doesn't hurt for a little help wherever you can get it.

[revengeofthemordsith]

Help can quickly turn into hurt.

[kill_switch]

... and what happens when skill isn't enough?

[revengeofthemordsith]

You die. Simple as that.

[kill_switch]

Then how am I alive?

[revengeofthemordsith]

How would I know?

[kill_switch]

Luck, Cara. The answer is luck.

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ She rolls her eyes. ]

Sounds like a deity to pray for. I don't hold much stock in that.

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa shakes her head.] It's not a deity. It's not anything you rely on, but you don't dismiss it when you get it.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I've never gotten lucky. Everything that I have, I fought and bled for.

[kill_switch]

I find that hard to believe.

[Furiosa isn't discounting Cara's skill at all, but she did find it unlikely that the other woman hadn't had at least one engagement that was one random moment away from disaster.]

[revengeofthemordsith]

What's so unbelievable about it?

[kill_switch]

The world isn't so predictable.

[revengeofthemordsith]

The world is incredibly predictable. Look at us. Men are the same. The world is the same. Simply because they are some minute differences doesn't mean anything has changed.

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa looks at her critically, a little challenging.]

Maybe where you came from. If that's the case, you wouldn't have lasted two minutes in the Wastelands.

[revengeofthemordsith]

[ Cara isn't budging. What does she care of another world? ]

And? I died and came back. I hold a weapon that tortures me when I hold it. If you want to believe in luck, that's your decision. Don't make it mine.

[kill_switch]

[Neither is Furiosa budging.]Luck is the kind of thing that happens whether you believe in it or not. Just saying have a little appreciation for a nudge now and then.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I'll believe it when I see it for myself.
