[Action | so very open]
[Zelgadis didn't need to wait for dark, or to try calling, or to ask those bastards at the kiosk to know she was gone. The moment Saber vanished he just felt it, the connection he'd only barely noticed all these months dissolving as quick and bitter as salt in water. Removing his glove to find the command seals gone felt stupid really, the sort of sentimental formality someone like him shouldn't bother with, but of course he did it anyway.]

[Now he's sitting under a tree in the park, a full pack flopped carelessly beside him, his hood down for once to showcase his stone skin -- maybe waiting for the snide comment of a passerby to spark him into a fight, who knows. It had taken him longer to pack his belongings than he'd assumed; that'll teach him to accumulate junk. In the end he taken the essentials and left the rest as it lay, Saber's things untouched as if for a museum.]

[So that's that. Done, over. It was always just a matter of time.]

[That was the easy conclusion. Harder is what to do with himself now, without the search for a cure and without anything to fight against and without anyone he ever bothered to care about.]

[At least it's good weather. Sleeping outdoors won't be a problem.]

	[She would not had he done so. She is not good at listening to others who she does not see as authority figures.] I am not sure. Your scent is...different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His eyes are going to get so tired of rolling by the end of this conversation.] Obviously. And...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was not sure if it was caused by the stone your skin is made of or something else. [She does not like not knowing. Knowledge is valuable.] Has your mental state been compromised? [Blunt, but she does not realize he may not be able to tell her if it had. She instead wants to see his reaction.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	None of your business. [Which probably answers her quite nicely, but at least he gets to be a prickly twit in principle.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No it is not. If you do not wish to answer you do not have to. [It will not stop her from asking. It is the exact reaction she had been hoping to receive, since it did explain some of the strangeness about his scent. She decided to change the subject.] Are you a mutant?

	No. [What is this, an interrogation?] I was born a human and if you must know, I'd much rather still be one. [Maybe that's offensive enough to send her away? Probably not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She does ask questions as if she were in an interrogation.] Is there something wrong with how you are now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[of all the] I'm stone. That's a pretty damn huge thing to have wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do not understand. I have friends who are not made of flesh either. One of them is made of stone. Being stone kept him alive. [There is such diversity among mutants that being stone is not a huge concern that she worries about. It is just different, not life-damaging.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gods, another one who thinks they can compare me to their buddies. I'm not the same as them, okay? [Why is this such a thing here, that everyone thinks they understand his situation just because they know someone who might look a little bit the same.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xtricate 2013-06-04 04:23 am UTC (link)
	I said that I do not understand. People can only compare what they do not understand with their own experiences to try and make sense of it. [She can be blunt, yes.] If you are not the same, then why? Because you were human first? So was he. He did not ask to be stone. Mutants cannot change what they become.

	Why do you want to know? Better yet, why should I tell my life story to anyone who happens by? Haven't you people ever heard of privacy? [Honestly! His temper is tried by this line of questioning on the best of days but right now it's a dozen times more abrasive.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She realizes then that perhaps she has stepped over a line without realizing it. Asking questions is how she learns about others without stalking them. Privacy has always been a luxury of those who can ensure it in her life, not something that is guaranteed or even looked for.]

You do not have to tell me anything. If my questions bother you, I will cease asking them.

	Good. [He crosses his arms and presumes that's that. He's more than done dealing with people period.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She stops asking, but she is not leaving. Sorry if he thought that would be the end of it. She will not speak to him, but sees no reason to get up and walk away yet, either.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
