Dream the Fourth : GHB8 [Orb]

[yumemi_no_ou]

[[The image from the orb is rather white and blurry, with only the vague outlines of shapes visible. Someone's thrown a sheet over it, it would seem.]]

I can't find Aralu or Hawk anywhere. Hawk's mom's gone too.

[[a slight pause. He really really doesn't like having to do this...]]

...and I can't work the stove in this stupid place.

[[Or do much of anything else with his back like it is.]]

Do you need someone to start a fire?

[yumemi_no_ou]

[[there's a small, aggravated sound]]

Not in the mood for your shit right now...

[bondsoflove]

I'm serious. I'll start a fire if you need one.

[yumemi_no_ou]

[[a small snort]] And let you burn down what little I have left? Pass.

[bondsoflove]

[A scowl.]

Even if I could, I wouldn't burn peoples' houses down just because they annoy me. If you need your stove lit, I'll light it. If not, I won't.

[yumemi_no_ou]

[[He's quiet a long moment. Sulking even]]

You've threatened to kill me almost every time we've met, sorry if I'm not exactly inclined to trust you after that. [[his tone is stiff. A touch pained as well, though he's trying very hard not to show it]]

[bondsoflove]

I don't think I actually threatened to kill you.

[Insulted? Yes. Wanted to hurt? Yes. But kill? Pointless, and a waste of time.]

[yumemi_no_ou]

... Close enough to it.

[[It's a bit mumbled]]

[bondsoflove]

I don't appreciate being called a murderer.

[yumemi_no_ou]

And I don't appreciate a lot of the shit you call me, so call it even. [[There's a sharp, tense tone in his voice.]]

[bondsoflove]

You have yet to prove your anything but what I've called you.

[yumemi_no_ou]

...

Someday you're going to get so badly hurt that it's a fight to get out of bed and I'm going to laugh in your face for it.

Ass.

[[There's absolutely no strength in the insult this time, however. He's hurting, he's tired and he's alone. Fuck his life, seriously.]]

[bondsoflove]

You do that.

[The orb goes dark.]
