	Lucky? No. They're around here... probably a good thing that you haven't seen 'em. They're kind of lame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-05 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? Should I find some then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-06 02:10 pm UTC (link)
	N-no! They're just... they're no fun. Nothin' that'd interest you. [ Shit, he's making it worse isn't he. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-06 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [Disappointed.] But I am interested. I want to know more about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-06 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	You could just ask? [ Instead of reading embarrassing stuff on the walls. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-06 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure what to ask. And, I know there's some stuff you're tight-lipped about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-06 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	[ He shrugs. ] I don't mind if you know. Just... don't know what to tell you, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-07 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	The last time, you said you were running from something. But... [You also said you didn't want to talk about it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-07 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [ He sighs, dragging a hand through his hair. ] I've... done a lot of stuff I ain't too proud of, I guess. After a while, I didn't have much of a choice but to run. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-07 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	Can I ask what you did that was so bad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-07 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	I, uh... [ He swallows. ] I killed someone. I mean, I've.... I've killed a lot of someone's by now. Not... not always on purpose, you know? Still my responsibility, but... [ Shit, spit it out. ] This was different. It was... it was a kid. Little girl... maybe five? She ain't done nothin' wrong ever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-07 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	[People die. Children die, in all sorts of ways. He's walked among their souls. It's sad, but it's a thing that happens. He would prefer if it were a thing that didn't happen so often.] Did you mean to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-07 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I mean... it wasn't an accident or anythin'. I aimed, I pulled th' trigger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-07 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	Why? [And does he want to know?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He draws a deep, shaky breath. Oh stars... ]

It was on a raid... I don't know what I've told you 'bout this but... I got in with this rebellion group. At first it was just helpin' out around camp, but the longer I stayed the more I got involved. We used to ambush supply trucks. No harm, y'know? Only this time it was a bus full of civilians.

[ You following so far? ]

	[It was maybe touched on. Vaguely. He didn't have a full picture. Nico nods. Go on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-09 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	She was hurt... wouldn't stop screamin'. I just wanted her to be quiet... so I raised my rifle. Aimed. Pulled th' trigger. [ A beat. ] She stopped screaming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-10 05:43 am UTC (link)
	[Shit. Holy shit. He draws a breath. He needs to process this. Just ... think about it. Because he's having a hard time believing it. He can't find any words right now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-10 10:51 am UTC (link)
	[ And here he thought telling the story was the rough part. Not getting a response is so much worse. He shifts, uncomfortable. Swallows. ] Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-10 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	Are you? Are you sorry you did that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-10 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I am. [ He is. He really, really is. The way his voice breaks should be proof of that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-10 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	[Nico nods. Okay. That's good.] I guess things were really bad for you back then. [He reaches to take Aidan's hand. Come here?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-10 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	They weren't great. [ He sighs, partially in relief at Nico taking his hand. ] Anyway... 's been like a year or somethin' now. I've kept to m'self since then. Figure it was better that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-10 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Did anyone else know what you'd done? Would something happen to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-05-11 08:35 am UTC (link)
	People knew, but... no, I don't think I'd get in trouble for that. It was a war zone. Not th' only kid that died. [ But the only one he killed and that's punishment enough really. ] Besides, I was kind of on the run already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
