[backinaflash]

You're doing way more than I am, dude. I've been a stubborn jerk about talking to the gods at all.

[birdonawire]

It's fine. You did when it counted.

[backinaflash]

[sighs]

[birdonawire]

What?

[backinaflash]

[flops backwards onto the futon] I dunno.

[birdonawire]

... I'm not trying to be difficult.

[backinaflash]

No, dude, that's not— It's not you.

[birdonawire]

Then what? Come on. We should talk. I don't want stuff to be weird. Not now.

[backinaflash]

It's just–


We're never going home, are we?

[birdonawire]

. . .







No.

[backinaflash]

Not like there was a lot of home left to go to, but...

[birdonawire]

... Yeah. But it was home, no matter what.

[backinaflash]

[rolls over onto his stomach, then is still and quiet for a minute...

...before punching the floor.]

[birdonawire]

[sits up, hand on your shoulder]

[backinaflash]

[doesnt move]

[birdonawire]

KF—

[shoulder squeeze]

... Wally...

[backinaflash]

[miiiight be shaking a little]

[birdonawire]

[... rubs your back kind of awkwardly, not sure what to do]

[backinaflash]

[carries on like that for another minute or two, then sits up abruptly, eyes red around the edges]

Okay. I'm okay.

[birdonawire]

[notices that, but doesn't say anything. lets his hand linger on your shoulder for a moment longer before folding his hands in his lap]

... You don't have to be.

[backinaflash]

[shakes his head]

Anyway, are you still "not hungry"? I'm starving.

[birdonawire]

[just shrugs]

I dunno. I guess I'll eat if you're going to.

[backinaflash]

Yeah, come on.

[birdonawire]

[gets up]

What are we having?

[backinaflash]

Dunno. Probably lizard meat again.
