[nope.

sloooowdrag]

What brings you here really, boy?

[allmadeofstars]

. . . the other me can't be there for someone he cares about when they're hurt. I think he'd want someone to be, though.

[ticking]

...So now you're collecting the pieces he leaves around? Isn't that a bit sad even for you?

[allmadeofstars]

Hah. "Even for me?" I'm not sure.

[ticking]

You can't deny you're pretty sad even without this mess.

[allmadeofstars]

I wasn't denying anything.

[ticking]

[hmm, smoke]

So. Does it hurt? To watch him surrounded by all of his loving things?

[allmadeofstars]

Is this going to make you feel better—?

[ticking]

[promptly]

Yes.

[allmadeofstars]

Because he hurt you?

[ticking]

We hurt each other. It's our nature.

[allmadeofstars]

No it's not.

[ticking]

Really? And how would you know that?

[allmadeofstars]

I wouldn't agree that it's in anybody's nature to hurt the ones they love.

[ticking]

Hoh, then if it isn't nature, what's the excuse of every person you know, boy?

[allmadeofstars]

. . . I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I just don't think it's okay to accept it.

[ticking]

So of course you don't accept it yourself.

[allmadeofstars]

He's going to go back to how he usually is, and he's going to hate himself for hurting you. So, what are you going to do about it?

[ticking]

We're not talking about him, boy.

[reaching up for. something. to pull you down with. tie? shirt?]

[allmadeofstars]

[. . . lets himself be pulled by the shirt, juuust a little]

That's what's between you and me, so that's what we're talking about.

[ticking]

He doesn't have anything to do with you and me.

[doesn't do anything with it but hold you generally within eyecontact]

[allmadeofstars]

[shifts slightly, then, and just allows it]

Do you seriously believe that?

[ticking]

Why would you? Is it that hard to separate yourself? I'm not interested in you coming around just to clean up his messes.

[allmadeofstars]

And I'm not interested in doing so.

[reaches out and lightly puts a hand on Ticky's head :\]

[ticking]

...you know if you're here to offer comfort there's another sort I'm more interested in.
