[rebull]

Heh, y-yeah. Sorry. I uh, hadn't meant to do that.

audio

[o8liter8]

Are you sick?

Audio

[rebull]

Uh.

No. No I'm not- Are you?

Audio

[o8liter8]

You have the most amazing powers of deduction I've ever witnessed, obviously.

Audio

[rebull]

Um, okay? I guess.

Audio

[o8liter8]

Yes, I'm sick, why do you think I sound completely awful.

Audio

[rebull]

I don't think you sound awful.

Audio

[o8liter8]

Whatever. You're just lucky this isn't video.

Audio

[rebull]

Yeah, I am.

[Not for the reason you might think, Mindfang... But he does sound a little distant when he says it.]

You should get better soon, I'd uh, I'd think. I don't think this will last too long.

Audio

[o8liter8]

Yeah.

So.




You came back.

Audio

[rebull]

Yeah...

Audio

[o8liter8]

How long were you there?

Audio

[rebull]

Ten sweeps, give or take. A-a while anyway. Guess I was only gone here for uh, about a few weeks, if that.

Audio

[o8liter8]

Your time with me done yet?

Audio; Private

[rebull]

What a w-way to ask, Legs- damnit.

Audio; Private

[o8liter8]

Last time you were here you said you didn't wanna know.

Audio; Private

[rebull]

I still don't, but uh, I really don't have a choice now.

Audio; Private

[o8liter8]

Poor you. Did you make an execution of it? Put a little show on for your army, ding dong the blueblooded bitch is dead?

Audio; Private

[rebull]

You really didn't give me a choice, Mindfang. My feelings for you- they don't compare to what I've lived my life for. Don't- don't do that.

Audio; Private

[o8liter8]

You're right, I didn't. It's not like I had a choice either. You get to live with that for the rest of your life, sweetheart, and so do I. I didn't get the option of not knowing. I'm eleven sweeps old and I know how I'm going to die and I get to wait for that for centuries, so don't tell me what's fair.

[ She lets out a soft sigh. ]

Do you at least miss me. Did you at least make it worth something.

Audio; Private

[rebull]

...You say that like all the time we did spend together meant nothing- but, I guess maybe you're right, since you knew the whole time. Heh, bet you just- you just stuck around be you knew it was inevitable then, huh? Might as well...

[A swallows, taking a deep breath before answering.]

I do and I did. I would've- w-would've never done something like that if it wasn't for something. But that doesn't mean I don't feel like... like that any more...

For you I mean.

Audio; Private

[o8liter8]

I don't know. I'm not her yet.

[ wait

wait what.

what. ]









You what? But- Darkleer!

Audio; Private

[rebull]

Then don't...say things like that. Please.

[Lysunder sighs, hunching over a little and grazing a hand through his hair. He says nothing for a bit, soon breathing deep, closing his eyes.]

Yes, Darkleer, I plan on continuing what... what we had. I don't think I'll ever stop feeling what I do though, I can't- I can't really help it. You were-

Are- You are extremely important to me, but I shouldn't really even talk to you.

Audio; Private

[o8liter8]

So the first time you came here, you avoided me because I'm not enough like who I became in centuries, and now you avoid me because I'm too much like her. Never going to stop living in my future's shadow, am I?

Whatever. Fine. Fuck this.

[ And she hangs up. ]

Audio; Private

[rebull]

[Damnit- his hand lingers over his SFC for a bit before he finally messages her again.]

No, that- I said I shouldn't. And that's not even why I shouldn't. I still want to talk to you- if you'll let me.
