"Mm," I murmur in agreement, then shrug, "Yeah...kind of."
Of course he probably has the right idea and it really is a good idea to try and talk sense into her, because really this is quite ridiculous and probably shouldn't be allowed. Still doesn't mean that I necessarily want her to 'see sense' of course.

I tilt my head at him curiously then, as I think about the fact that,. really, most of the reason Fitzy hates Logan is just simple childhood jealousy - he was mad that he wasn't my best and only friend anymore. And, granted, I was kind of a bitch to him after that, but still.
"So, just out of curiosity... why have you never liked him?"

"Uh..." I pause, slightly taken aback by that, "I don't...really have a reason...I guess."
I don't like sharing people, I suppose, but she generally chose me over him anyway so I don't know if that counts as a reason or not.
I was just a nasty, malicious child...adolescent...adult, and I enjoyed actively disliking and bullying anyone who I didn't have a reason to like sounds more feasible, really.

"Oh... hm." I shrug slightly after the initial mild surprise because I guess that really does make perfect sense. I don't know why I even wanted a reason, anyway.

"Am I supposed to have a reason?" I ask with a small shrug, wondering why she asked in the first place.

"I don't know...." I say slowly. "I guess it would sort of... make more sense than just irrational hatred." I shrug slightly. "You know why he hates you, don't you? And I mean... it isn't necessary, it's stupid, but at least it seems more justified."

I half-nod, more in acknowledgment than anything.
But really...I don't like much of anyone and I haven't often thought of individual reasons for nearly everyone I come across.
"I guess..." I say slowly, shrugging now. "I'll think on it and get back to you."

I raise my eyebrows again briefly, vaguely amused, and shake my head. "Thanks, but you don't have to. It probably doesn't much matter."

"Ah...I won't then," I amend, frowning vaguely at myself more than anything now.
I'm not sure whether it's better to just ramble pointlessly or not speak at all.

I nod again, then shrug and frown slightly. Mentioning Fitzy has reminded me again how likely it is that the idiot may unthinkingly turn him in. , and I really don't want to worry any more about that right now.

Killed it again.
I guess I'm just going to keep doing that.
I'm not sure how worried I'm supposed to be about Fitzy and whether he actually will turn me in or not.
But I also don't really want to worry at all, actually, so I don't think I will.

"Hm...." I say after a moment, looking down at my hands. "You know, I wonder if he'll let me talk to him now. Not that I especially want to, but I haven't seen Melody in months, and he might be petty like that."

"Sorry, in advance, if he doesn't," I shake my head, "But he'll get over it eventually, won't he?"

Post by Arden Patricks on Jan 1, 2009 17:56:50 GMT
"Maybe." I shrug slightly. "I don't know. It was usually me hating him, and I don't think we've really fought since I finally forgave him and all."

"Ah..." I say with a vaguely uncomfortable sort of nod.
Then it occurs to me that I'm not sure if I know who Melody is and why it's important or not whether she's seen her in months.

I shrug again slightly, shaking my head. "And you don't have to be sorry, by the way. Not your fault."

"Sort of is, technically," I shrug.
I don't think I feel as bad as I probably should about that, really.
"Who's Melody again?" I ask with an absent sort of frown, because I'm not sure if I know that and didn't pay enough attention or not.

I suppress a half smile though I'm not sure why it's amusing. "Melody's my niece... Fitzy's daughter. He left her someplace so he could go and be a deatheater again, but now I guess he's found her and will probably not let me see her." I shrug slightly. "But really, that isn't your fault. He just doesn't like you... and unless you really did mess with my mind, it's not your fault that I'm taking your side rather than his."

"Oh," I say.
Ha, at least I get why talking about that annoyed him now. I'll remember that for next time, if there is one.
I don't think I did know that either, so that's something at least.
It does sort of strike a chord, however, that he left his daughter somewhere, and involuntarily reminds me that I lost my son. Hm. I wonder if Madeline's found him yet.
"Alright, if you say so," I shrug, "And...no, I don't think I really have messed with your mind."

"Hope not." I glance at him briefly, but there isn't eally much else I can say about that. Though technically he did, of course, once upon a time. But that doesn't matter very much anymore.

Besides the one time I actually did mess with her mind...but that was just a poor memory charm so I don't know if it really counts.
"Well, not lately anyway," I correct myself with a shrug.

"True." i shrug slightly, then look up at him again. "I possibly should thank you for that, by the way. I think I kind of like how things turned out."

"You're welcome then," I say after a moment considering how weird a statement that was.

"Odd thing to thank a person for, I suppose." I shrug again.

"Hm," I agree, nodding, then shrug and stretch a bi because I feel like I've been sitting here a while.

I'm not so bothered by the dead conversation this time. It's been quite a long conversation compared to normal, all things considering.
I guess it's getting a bit easier or something.

"I think... I'm going to go find food," I say after a moment, realizing I haven't eaten all day except for my break at work. "You want anything?"

I nod, heading off into the kitchen. I think we're getting better at this whole normalcy thing.
