"Duckie, ah rut wid ya. Willingly." there was more he could say, but that is all he did say.

One arm wrapped across her stomach, her hand gripping her opposite elbow. "I didn't think you thought about...stuff...that way."

"'Bout all othahs, non. Ah don't." he remembered a talk they had, within his old haven in Seattle. Blood tears. Hatred. Violence. Her leaving. To be with another.

"But me?" Her voice got softer, unsure.

He just looked at her for a time. "Name one othah ah've slept next tah. 'Ave ah 'ome wid."

"I didn't think 'pretty' was a factor in that." Weird...it shouldn't matter, but for some reason it did.

"In de whole, it don't. Don't mean ah don't 'ppreciate it."

She stepped forward, wrapping her arms around him. "Thank you.

Methuselah Posts : 3502 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Ain't nuttin'new. Ya know dat." it only took one arm to fit around her.

She let her head fall against his chest. "I'm sorry I got you in trouble with Charlie."

"Don't mattah. Wouldn't care if ya pissed off de whole City, de Country, or de World. Just means more targets." he was warm, as his body had long ago remembered how to look alive - a gift from those who killed him, a second time. But at least his scent was ever the same. Brine and loam - Sea and Earth.

She breathed deeply, his scent a comfort. "We're still young, Mat."

"Weh is. But weh still beh honest wid ourselves. Sumptin'de old ones forget." he stroked her hair.

Methuselah Posts : 7609 Join date : 2010-03-22

"I still don't understand people most of the time."

Methuselah Posts : 3502 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Well, we ain't people. Weh got Beasts. Moss juss try to chain it. Or 'nore it."

Methuselah Posts : 7609 Join date : 2010-03-22

"Yeah..."

Methuselah Posts : 3502 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Ya tell me whatcha wanna do, ahnd I'll be dere."

Methuselah Posts : 7609 Join date : 2010-03-22

"I don't know what's best..." She hadn't wanted it to end up this way.

Methuselah Posts : 3502 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Sah? Don't mattah. Best ahn what weh need teh do. Weh juss need teh do."

Methuselah Posts : 7609 Join date : 2010-03-22

"I'm just gonna stay out of his way as much as possible." Again.

Methuselah Posts : 3502 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Ya could juss stick wid meh." there was a bit too much hope in his voice.

Methuselah Posts : 7609 Join date : 2010-03-22

"I don't have a position anymore and..." There was something else, but she let it trail off. "I could help with the boat."

Methuselah Posts : 3502 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Ah'd like dat. But.. ya also like des gens more den meh. Juss meh bein'selfish, wantin'ya teh beh wid meh."

Methuselah Posts : 7609 Join date : 2010-03-22

"People got mad when I left."

Methuselah Posts : 3502 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Cause dey don't wantcha gone. De Pups git angrah when ah wandah widout dem."
