I nodded faintly, biting my lip for a moment. ".. Alright.." That topic lasted a long time..

I shrug, taking another drink. "To be honest, she didn't seem that happy about it. I'd be willing to bet a fair bit that they fall apart shortly."

I nodded faintly, not being able to help but to feel a bit relieved at his assumption. "Hopefully it ends alright then.." I commented, "If it ends, that is."

"Can't really say I'm optimistic, but... here's hoping, anyway." I shrug slightly.

"As long as Arden doesn't get hurt.." I shrugged a little bit. "But yeah, hoping."

I snort faintly at that, shaking my head. "Even you can't be enough of an idiot to think that's a possibility. Arden will get hurt no matter what. Hopefully not badly, but there's no use in hoping for better than that."

I was sort of wondering which context the word hurt was being taken in. I mean, of course I didn't want her emotionally hurt, but that was bound to happen, but I definitely didn't want her physically injured.
But I felt a bit stupid asking him for clarification as to which one he meant, or even if he meant both, so I just shrugged faintly and instead settled for, "What do you think will happen then?"

"Honestly?" I shrug. "I've been thinking that she'd wind up dead for years... so I don't know anymore."

I turned my head somewhat sharply to him, feeling myself tense up a bit. I didn't really know how to reply to that, so I ended up just looking away. I don't think I could hope anymore right now that he was wrong.

"... I tend to have a more pessimistic view of things than others,, though, if it's any help," I shrug after a moment.

"Not much.." I said after a moment, staring at my bottle. I'm not going to lie, the thought had run across my mind a few times, I just tried not to think about it, but now that he's said it, I almost feel like it's going to happen.
I knew that it was stupid, but if she died, I was going to blame myself. I shouldn't, but I more than likely would. And I just would rather have her living.

I shrug again, with nothing more to say to that, and look down at the countertop.
Casually as I might mention it, I'm pretty sure that it would/will bother me a lot if that happens.

"Does that not bother you, at all?" I asked after a moment before looking over to him.

I glance at him briefly before shrugging... for some reason mildly irritated. "Well, no, of course not. I'll be bloody thrilled if my idiot sister gets herself killed."

I sighed, slightly irritated myself, and turned my head away from him again, staring at my bottle again. I didn't really see a response for that, I knew he was being sarcastic.. at least, I hoped he was.

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Mar 10, 2009 14:59:20 GMT
I shake my head again when he looks away, taking another drink and then shrugging. "Sarcasm, obviously. I don't take well to losing people who'd never've gotten lost if they just listened to me instead of their stupid pride or conviction or whatever it is."

"I know." I said with a faint nod, after he said it was sarcasm. "Yeah.. I don't really either." I added, swirling my bottle faintly again for a moment again, "But she's not lost yet, or anything.."

"Close enough." I shrug slightly, then sigh, shaking my head. "Not much to be done about it anyway."

I shrugged faintly, "I know.. but I still feel like there should be something." I knew there wasn't, but I didn't really want to think that.

"If you ever think of anything, go ahead and let me know." I shrug slightly. "Beyond just... killing him and somehow preventing her from being idiot enough to follow suit, I'm out of ideas."

I felt a bit more sick at his explanation. "Yeah, I can't think of anything." I said eventually. "She probably wouldn't listen to me anyway."
|

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Mar 10, 2009 15:26:47 GMT
"More likely to listen to you than to me, so... guess we're screwed there." I shrug again.

"I don't know." I said shaking my head faintly, "Not sure how much she likes me now."

"If she likes you less than me, you really must've been irritating," I say helpfully, raising my eyebrows at him again.

I raised my eyebrows for a second before taking another drink. "I wouldn't be surprised."

I can't help but laugh slightly at that, although even I have no idea why it's funny.
"... What in the hell did you say to her?"

I laughed faintly and shook my head a little bit, "I don't know if you want to know."

"Because I'm going to want to hurt you if I know, or... just because I really don't want to know?" I ask curiously.

Post by Riley Pearson on Mar 11, 2009 3:38:50 GMT
"Um.. I don't know.. maybe both?" I asked looking over to him. "It's probably not as bad as I'm thinking." I added though, thinking about the whole thing about kissing her. I definitely wasn't mentioning my last encounter with her.

"Right...." I eye him for a moment, debating whether to just leave it at that or satisfy my curiosity anyway despite the likelihood of regret.
