What: ???

[Out this far, it's not something that your eyes can tell anymore. There's no real difference between the consuming dark of curfew and the endless dark of a place where no light touches at all. But it's something you can feel. Something pulls back away from you and you can feel the metal under your feet, comforting and reminding you, somehow that yes, you do still exist past the bruises and dull ache of walking. There's a WORLD and it's not just you. You can hear water, the comforting sharpness of your own footfalls on rock.

More importantly.. the ground stills. No more of the gentle rocking, soft and firm sometimes, ground mushy and unpleasant others. Sometimes, it's nice to just pretend you've gone crazy.

Of course, when you finally see light, a soft, wispy green glow.. you might think that you really HAVE finally done it.]

	Does he, now? I wonder if it bothers you too, some. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He had some sense beaten into him. ...of course it bothers me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Reckoned some. You don't strike me as the type of fella who takes much kind thought to havin' his fate in the hands of others, but the other side just seems more of the same. I got a bead on this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[huffs a laugh, casting his gaze off to the side, to the walls of the cave.] You're not wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably not even all that fond of being out here with a fine young man, such as myself. [He laughs, something more like a chuckle.] That's fine though. Thems that get a little too fond of me never end up quite right, if you know what I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[indeed, he feels like this should bother him more. last time he was bothered. but last time he wasn't tired and dizzy and unanchored from all his normal feelings.] I'm not suicidal. I won't meet my end here. I just want out of this cave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

One way or another, this place is comin' to an end. Aint nothin' stopping that.

[Dizzy enough, disorienting enough... it's hard to tell how far you've walked. It seems like a lot, but it hasn't really been long at all, has it?]

But that's another thing I fancy to. Again, not that you're out here to find out what I like and all. But, there's no place for me to be judging a man, by their quality or by what morals they grew up with.

It is a universal thing though, aint nothin' more wretched than a soul what meets its end that didn't live by what he thought were right.

	[okay, that brings him to a halt.] I make my own decisions; everything I've done, I've done for a reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He doesn't stop but he does slow down, casting a glance back over his shoulder.] Hard path, aint it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[glowers] It's a path I don't remember starting. [...starts walking again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now, I don't mean to sound any way here. Something got a bitch of curiosity about, but, does it make that much difference? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-11-09 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	It's the difference between knowing your reason and just hoping it was worth this, whatever it was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The walk is in a simple silence for some time before the man seems to squint and nod.]

Looks like we're almost there. A bit further than I expected to take you through. [He taps his chin with one bony finger.]

Next time you feel up to a bit of a chat, pour up a second drink of something good, and we'll talk a spell.

Once you got a bit better idea of youself, lets talk a bit about your own path.

	[lifts his head a bit, having been lost in the motions of walking and the gnawing of his own mind.] Ah. [looks ahead, though there isn't much different to see yet.] Yes... I do owe you a drink, don't I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knocks_twice 2011-11-09 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Aint like a bit of hospitality in kind. [He tips his hat.] Keep moving straight a pace, you'll see the torches next bend up ahead, son. [And at that, the simple presence beside you is gone, and a more familiar darkness surrounds you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
