I went silent. Yes, that....probably wasn't the best idea.

Well then. Probably would be best to change the subject. "How did you die...? If you don't mind me asking."

2015-09-06 03:36:52

🌀

Well that's....a fabulous subject change. Simply marvelous. I set the knife down on the arm of the couch and sat down. "No, it's a natural question. ............I took a long walk off a short pier. If said pier was a building." You idiot, that wording was terrible.

Oh. Well...so she wasn't alone in that matter. Well... still was. Oh well. Didn't matter. "And I'm assuming it wasn't anytime recent, considering Tassek isn't a small child."

"Well, no. I think it might've been...the eighties?" He acts like one, I don't know.

2015-09-06 03:46:56

●

"That...isn't too far. At least that means your wings will come back much quicker than if were say....two hundred."

"Really? That's good..." I let out a breath. "I can't believe I screwed up that bad on my first try, though."

2015-09-06 03:51:53

●

"Trust me, you could of done worse." Tassek could of ended up like her.

2015-09-06 03:52:56

"No, no one else has /voluntarily/ abandoned their charge before it happened."

2015-09-06 03:57:29

●

"Depends on your definition of abandonment." Yes, the fact that people still were surprised that she had an angel bothered her. Greatly. Even if she didn't show it.

2015-09-06 03:58:51

🌀

......... "I think my actions fit that definition fairly well."

2015-09-06 04:05:09

●

"Well you're here now, right? That's all that matters."

2015-09-06 04:05:48

🌀

"But he doesn't /care/. What he cares about is that I screwed him over then."

2015-09-06 04:14:26

●

"Well then he needs to see you for the great person you truly are, but unfortunately that can't be forced."

2015-09-06 04:19:35

🌀

"......I'm not great. I've just been a bother to everyone."

2015-09-06 04:35:59

●

"...You haven't been a bother to me."

2015-09-06 04:38:25

🌀

I genuinely had a look of disbelief on my face. /Not a bother/? "You've got to be kidding me. Every time I see you, you end up having to help me with something stupid and not having any fun at /all/."

2015-09-06 04:40:50

●

Why did he seem so shocked by that? "I like helping you, though."

2015-09-06 04:41:43

🌀

"Why?? You said you wanted to see me happy, but, newsflash, that isn't going to happen any time soon. You aren't getting any sort of reward for this, /why/ do you enjoy it?" Maybe she was like Calypso. She just liked seeing me in pain. That would hurt more than losing my wings.

2015-09-06 04:44:51

●

"I don't expect any reward for it. I don't expect anything in return at all. I just /want/ to help because I /like/ helping you. It gives me something to do and, hell, maybe some day I /will/ see you happy. That's it. Nothing hidden. Nothing secret. I just want to help because it's who I am."

2015-09-06 04:48:24

🌀

I stared at her with complete confusion. I wasn't dating her. She didn't owe me a favor. No one had threatened or bribed her into doing this. She just wanted to help. I don't get it at all. Well, she'd probably get sick of me sooner or later, regardless of her current intentions.

2015-09-06 04:54:25

●

She stared back, eventually growing more confused herself. "...What?" Did he have a problem with this? Was she being too clingy? What?

2015-09-06 04:56:19

🌀

".........................th.........thank you?"

2015-09-06 04:57:40

●

"...There's....no need to thank me."

2015-09-06 04:58:03

🌀

"...........why wouldn't I?"
