[Year 188, just inside Cepheus' border]

[Chasing SOMEBODY who's given him the slip down, in the dark, when it's about to storm, he can feel it. Ticky's slowly-building tantrum had been far from subtle, and when he'd gone to his room at the inn to try to placate him, his bed was empty.

He may be unfamiliar with the borderlands yet, but people tend to talk when you're wearing all-black. Once he's got the right direction he's bolting for him.]

	[Ticky has a good sized headstart, but he also isn't in much of a hurry. once he was out of town Ticky set a steady, slightly fast pace. Walking off the side of the road where he won't be any obvious target to any hooligans] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Thankfully, River was pointed down the right road out of town, and he's got a lot of stamina for running. It's a while before he can catch up-- plenty of time to think he's going the wrong way, or that he's really lost him-- before he finally spots a moving figure.] Hey!

	[Turns immediately, the familiar shine of a dagger in his hand, looking like he is ready to fight or flee. It takes a second for him to realize it's River approaching out of the darkness, and only then does his guard lower, slightly] You... what d'you want? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

. . . If you want to leave because you're tired of me, that's one thing. But don't think I won't feel anything about you suddenly leaving.

I know you don't trust anyone, and one month isn't long enough to change that. But if you see me liking someone else as a threat to you, you're wrong. You don't have to be afraid of me abandoning you, Ticky. It's not going to happen, okay?

	. . . [crouches down in front of him-- he's still got a lot of height on him after all. So he's looking up.] What kind of a guy abandons someone they like? I like you. That's just how it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Alright. I want you to calm down. I don't want you to shove me away for something like this. Just because I have another friend-- or have an old partner I love, or have a hometown with people I care for-- it doesn't mean I'm just playing around with you. I want you to trust me. You.

	I don't think so. And see, I can't just have something valuable like that, so I don't ask for it. I guess I aim high when I really want something. [he hasn't tried to touch him in a while, but he's reaching for his shoulder slowly.] Even when I tell you why I like you around, you don't believe me. But I don't like to lie.
