I shook my head faintly to myself as I looked away from her for a moment. "If you're sure." I said quietly, glancing back to her a moment later. It's not really until now that I realise she still chose him over me even after he cheated on him.. but I guess I can't really blame her for that, nor can I say anything because I can't even count the number of times I stayed with Riyann.

I nod, not saying anything, then clear my throat lightly after a moment. "So... um... other than that...."

I shrugged with a small sigh, "I dunno." I mumbled slightly, scratching the back of my head for a short moment. ".. Anything else going on with you?"

"No, not really." I shrug. "You?"

I shook my head faintly, "Not really anything other than the date with Charlotte." I shrugged faintly. "It's been quiet lately.."

"Well, quiet can be good," I shrug, then smile at him teasingly. "And is that her name then? What's she like?" Not allowed for it to hurt, not allowed to be bothered... you will act like a friend because that's what you are.

"Yeah, sometimes.." I said before smiling faintly with a small laugh. "Yeah." I replied with a nod when she asked if that was her name and then shrugged faintly when she asked what she was like. "Um.. she's just.." I thought about it for a moment. ".. kind of like me actually." I say eventually, shaking my head faintly with the faint smile still on my face. ".. Funny pajamas too." I commented after a moment, before realizing what that sounded like. "Not that we.. you know." I added, feeling like I was about to start rambling so I shut up.

I laugh slightly, hoping it doesn't sound as forced as I think it does. "I still don't think I'll ask how you do know that then...."

I laughed slightly and shook my head a bit, "It's nothing bad, promise." I said with a faint smile.

"All right... I hope not." I shake my head, smiling faintly. "But really, that's great," I add, wondering how often I can say this before I get sick of hearing it. "You going to see her again, then?"

"Promise.." I said again as I glanced over to her, nodding faintly when she said it was great, "Thanks." I added after that, before hearing it outloud and realising that sounded sort of funny.. ".. It is pretty good.." I shrugged, ".. Probably.. Unless you've changed your mind about Logan.." [[ didn't realise I was on Lil  ] |

I can't help but... wince/flinch/grimace slightly when he tacks on that last part to what was otherwise a perfectly decent set of sentences.
"I can't," I say, shaking my head quickly. "Honestly, I tried and I just can't, so... no. I'll not be changing my mind."

"Sorry.." I muttered slightly, frowning a bit and nodding at what she said, "Alright.. then yeah, I'll be seeing again." I said nodding faintly again. I was starting to feel like a bobble head with all this nodding, maybe I should try and stop.

I nearly say good again but stop and bite my lip instead. I'm not even sure if it is good, for one thing, not when he's just said, in essence, that she's second best.

"I do like her though.." I said with a faint shrug. "But I've only known her for a few days.."

"Mm," I shrug back. "Well...." Well what? Good luck then? Go for it then? Is there anything at all I can say, really?

"'S'fine," I shake my head. "I just don't really know what else to say that I've not already said."

I shrugged, "I don't really know either.. I don't really want to leave though." I said a moment later, biting my lip for a second.

And I honestly don't know right now if I don't want him to leave either, though my first reflex is to say so. I bite my lip, eventually shaking my head. "Maybe... you should though, before this gets more awkward... and I'll see you later?" I shrug.

Post by Lilian Parker on Jan 31, 2009 18:46:09 GMT
I nodded slightly and sighed a bit. "Right.. yeah, I'll see you later then, I guess." I said back to her, pushing myself off the side of the house where I was leaning.

"Sorry." I smile weakly at him, though I'm not entirely sure what I'm apologizing for.

I smiled faintly back and shook my head a little bit, "S'Alright.." I said even though I didn't really know what she was apologizing to me for. "So um.. It alright if I hug you then?" I asked a moment later, still not letting myself hug her without asking. New habit or something, maybe.

I shake my head, but not as answer to his question... which should probably be made obvious when I move over and hug him first. I don't really think about it much - not enough to start worrying whether it's a bad idea or not, anyway. But I've decided I don't like the idea of saying goodbye without a hug. It's what we usually do, isn't it?

She shook her head and I just assumed that it was to my question, meaning, no, don't hug me, I'd rather you didn't touch me today. But I guess I was wrong because before I could start to walk away, she came forward and hugged me first instead. I still wasn't sure why she shook her head, but I guess it didn't matter much. I hugged her back, glad that she wasn't rejecting a hug this time because I thought it felt weird leaving without one.

"Take care of yourself, okay?" I ask when I'm pulling away, looking him in the face. I guess that's going to be my new default farewell now also.

Post by Riley Pearson on Feb 1, 2009 3:47:14 GMT
I let out a small chuckle and nodded with a faint smile. "Yeah, I will.. You take care too." I said as I nodded a bit, backing away a step or so about to start off the porch.

( ) I'm coming to the conclusion that I have a very strange sense of timing. Good or bad timing...I'm not sure, it swings in between, but whatever it is, I always tend to be somewhere at some point in time that is significant. Like when Arden caught me washing the blood off after that murder, that was bad timing because if I had come back earlier she might not have. Like when I caught her trying to kill herself, that was good timing, right on the dot. And now, this, when I catch them on the porch. I'm not sure if it's good timing or bad timing that I happened to be walking back to the house right now and that I happened to look up just in time to see her hug him, but it's certainly significant timing again. The anger's sort of weary this time. Exasperated irritation, as in 'I told you not to and now look what you've done?' sort of anger. Still anger none-the-less. Because I could have sworn that I told him I would kill him if he ever touched her again. And maybe that's a bit extreme and maybe it's a bad idea to draw my wand in the middle of a muggle street, but it being a bad idea doesn't stop me from doing it, so killing him may be a bit extreme...but I can't make any promises there either. "You," I mutter sharply as I head up the porch, ignoring her and talking straight to him, "I warned you." |

I nod in response to Riley, but whether or not I'm going to say anything sort of gets cut off, and lost on the way due to the stream of incoherent cursewords coming to mind instead when I happen to look past him and see Logan there. You have really lousy timing.
I assumed he wouldn't like it if Riley was here, of course. But nothing bloody happened, so if he had just shown up five minutes later Riley wouldn't even be here and he'd never have to know. Dammit. But now he has shown up and drawn his wand for heaven's sake and this is bad.
"Logan, don't. Nothing happened and he's leaving."

I smiled to Arden just about to leave, when I looked up and saw Logan coming toward me with his wand drawn. I couldn't think let alone form any type of intelligent sentences, so I just put my hands up slightly defensively, backing away slightly as Arden spoke to him. Why didn't I leave just a little bit earlier? Why did I even come here? And the most important really, was where the hell was my wand?
Now who knows what was going to happen.. All I did was hug her, but for some reason I feel like he's not going to agree with that.
"Promise she's telling the truth.. I just wanted to talk to her." I said eventually, shaking my head faintly as I looked at him.
