Video; A Little Bit Lost
[The first thing that shows on this video is the ceiling--it looks like Matthew dropped the SFC, and that's why it clicked on.
And then there's a crash as something hits the wall, and then he kicks the SFC until it spins and clatters against the wall.
He's a bit of a mess, expression pained and voice hoarse, and he clearly doesn't care if he's seen or not.
and then he falls to his knees and draws himself back to rest against the foot of the bed in the room.]
...Damn you, Vatheon.
Fine. Fine. You win!
[A shuddering breath and he looks away, staring out the window.]
...You win.

Parents...? I couldn't tell you. They're not dead, just...somewhere.
[...]
How long have I been alone...? Ha. It'd only be a month back home now, I think. 2 years, thanks to this place.

They couldn't support all of us. They could barely support themselves.
I ended up in Ostia...you know, with my sticky fingers.
[stealing to survive as a kid, that sort of sob story; he doesn't see the need to delve into it.]
They're probably somewhere in Lycia, some village...I was looking for them before [Leila died] I came here.
no subject
So they just abandoned you?
no subject
Something like that. You sound surprised, but it's not all that uncommon, really.
At least...not in a place like that. My home's...nothing like this place.

[He's silent for a few moments, before, with all the wisdom of a 19-year-old, he states—]
Your world sucks.
no subject
You say that even before hearing about the megalomanic trying to summon dragons to destroy all human civilization!
no subject
[He vaguely remembers Saya mentioning dragons once, but...]
Seriously, do you come from some kind of fairy tale?
no subject
[He shrugs.]
Your world sounds kind of dull, to be honest. No magic? No dragons. No pegasi and wyverns? How boring!

If I were to miss something from here--
[...ha.]
I suppose that wouldn't be the only thing, now that I think about it.
no subject
[Or, well. Mainly just one now, isn't it?]
no subject
And it's rather sudden but--]
D'you want to move in with me, Billy?
[An uncharacteristic fumble with his words.]
Ah, well. I mean. It would be safer, in future Vatheon induced insanity...
no subject
And so, when Matthew brings up the question, Billy chokes, coughing and spluttering into his hand before he stares at Matthew.]
I—wha—?
no subject
He clears his throat.]
Just a suggestion, that's all...
no subject
I... I...
[Ground, swallow him up now.]
I, uh, well—I mean, I guess I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it...
no subject
Good. It'll make things better, I think.
[just...that little bit.]
no subject
... At least this way I'll know if you've gone off and gotten yourself into trouble.
no subject
Hey, same to you. You've improved with your weapons skills, but I'm still allowed to worry about you.
no subject
All right, all right, mother.
no subject
I'm at least the father, okay.
no subject
no subject
I'm an excellent role model!
[:V!!]

[... Not like Billy is none of those things but DETAILS.]

Technically the 'thief' thing is just a front. Being a spy is a much more respectable career.
[He's probably being a little sarcastic.]
