[Braving leeches, lizards, and unknown horrors of the ~~deep~~ shallows, a Pavo is knee-deep in the river, salvaging what's left of their bridge. A yellow flower (that has definitely seen better days) is still tucked into the front pocket of her overalls.]

Ahh, it really is completely broken . . . can we even make rope like this?

	Nothing. [ ...eases back on his heels, moving to stand up. ] Nothing important. It's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Trying to lie . . . doesn't really work with me. Or anyone on Ring road . . . like Rune-sempai said, it's your body that's honest, even when you don't want it to be. But I won't ask, if you don't want me to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Reaches up for his hand, tugging him back down.] Ichiru cares for Zero. But I think, being here . . . it's hard for him, too. So he's trying to be remembered the fastest way he can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-20 03:17 am UTC (link)
	[Passes her hold on his hand from one hand to the other, shifting a bit behind him and pulling him gently but firmly back against her.] I think Zero would think it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ shoulders tense briefly-- but goes with it, that hand loosely holding on to hers. ] ...and that's what matters, when it comes down to it. Isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Crosses her arms over his chest, her body relaxed against his.] I think so. Something like that . . . it's more like what Mirror would do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And the ones when I was drinking. . . . it's a little funny, isn't it? The part the others hate . . . I think it's the part I'll miss the most. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not you. Sunny and Zero. Though Sunny was strange about it, the time it was me . . . Claude liked cuddling too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He thought it made him a monster. But where Zero was the same either way, whether it was feeding himself or feeding me, Sunny . . . [Her arms tighten, remembering.] He cut his neck open for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2011-06-20 08:00 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. It wasn't deep, just . . . just really there. [Her hands tighten, bunching his uniform between her fingers.] I was too hungry not to. But even if he liked it . . . it was so scary, like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Buries her head against his chest.] That . . . the first time . . . with Scowl, when Scowl was already . . . . . . I died like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
