[She almost feels weird locking it to his real name, but she goes with it. And without really knowing why she's doing it to begin with, when she feels like she's falling apart. But talking to him makes her forget how she feels sometimes. And so after this...]

You know, there's a video out there right now of a guy that looks like the type that would get hit by a bus and then pretend it wasn't a big deal when he's talking to people about it. [...] Do you think I should be worried about that guy?

	I'm not going to automatically run out and get something if you say it. You don't have to worry about that. I was just curious. Well you're wrong. Old people do have an old people smell. That you didn't actually explain anything by saying that "it's all different". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He leaves it, uncertain what to say.] They do not. You may not detect the difference, I say. 'Tis the same with women. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Now she feels awkward about it. And she should probably just leave it, but...] Told you I could find something that would be too much for you. The ink isn't even that bad. So every single person smells different, is that what you're saying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Stung.] 'Tis neither too much nor too little. Ay, 'tis what I'm saying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-10 07:59 am UTC (link)
	I do not have much understanding of this custom of ink and needle. I never saw nor felt such a mark. It is not "too much." I simply... do not know. Ay. With that, and, a time or two, the manner of heart or breath. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] I wish I could show you. Is this part of you being a superhero? I don't know anyone else that can hear someone's heartbeat like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[What's he supposed to say to that? Nothing he can come up with.] Do not trouble thyself over it, angel. [Colloquially.] I have no idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose you could go get one, to see what it felt like, but that does seem sort of silly to me, to get something you can't see. [...] I mean, I have one on the back of my neck, so it takes two mirrors for me to see it, but that's different. They say that sometimes losing once sense can make the other ones stronger to make up with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-10 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	Nay, I would not. I do not like pain overmuch, an' scars a plenty do I have, my thanks. Ay, 'tis something come to my ears before, it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-10 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	You seem to get injured an awful lot for a guy that doesn't like pain, you know. Do you think it's true? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'Tis only I do not fear it as much as most men. Excessive experience. I cannot know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-11 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Okay, there's lack of fear, and then there's just letting it get out of hand. I still worry about how much you get hurt. You haven't talked me out of that yet. Don't even want to take a guess? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There is a long pause before this comes all at once. He has obviously rewritten it a few times, and it is missing his usual jovial, antique phrasing.] I have been hurt as bad, if not worse, many times before, and by better men than these petulant children and their drugs. I do not like to think I am so special. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-11 05:26 am UTC (link)
	[A slightly longer pause than others she's had.] Men with drugs? Just the fact that you say you don't want to think that you're special makes you special. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-11 05:30 am UTC (link)
	They seek to do business here. Nay. Men and women with more ability than I were burnt for their talents. I do not like to think I am one of them, even if it be true. I was a thoughtless enough boy in my youth, and nothing remarkable to display. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-11 05:37 am UTC (link)
	[...] Yeah, it's New York. That's going to happen. Are you trying to make up for it by being extra remarkable now? Because you can say that you don't have the same sorts of abilities, but you're out there attacking buses and doing shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-11 05:38 am UTC (link)
	Not here. Nay. It is new to me, to be so visible. 'Twas not my [...] career, before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So you're going to put your life and the life of others on the line? For something that isn't going to change? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-12 04:17 am UTC (link)
	It will change. Mayhap I can only change one street, or two. Ay tho, it will change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-12 01:32 pm UTC (link)
	It won't change. It's not a thing that changes. What'll happen is you'll get hurt or killed and other people will get hurt or killed and people will still be buying and using just as much as they always were or more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
