	We still have to convince her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Except it's not a 'we' anymore, is it. It's just you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 09:25 am UTC (link)
	We. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't use that word when you just told me you don't want me to come! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 09:30 am UTC (link)
	I don't want you to get hurt! What's so wrong about that? I'm not allowed to?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So what happens then, Charles? You walk in there, flirt with the dragon some and convince her to fire the metal. But then you think, no, it's still too dangerous to take an Ophiuchus with you, not when he might get hurt. So you'll come back and tell me you don't want me to come for the second part either, just hand over the metal and let someone else do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 09:37 am UTC (link)
	[what] That's ridiculous. I'm not thinking of you as an Ophiuchus, I'm thinking of you as Erik. I'm not going to let anyone replace you. We're in this together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-12-12 09:40 am UTC (link)
	Unfortunately, I'm both. And that's the crux of the matter, because the dragon won't stand for someone like me to be in there. Or so you're assuming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 09:43 am UTC (link)
	[stepping closer, putting his hands on Erik's face] Calm down. It's not an assumption, it's a eyewitness report. Badger said to consider her dislike for the Judges and to remember her child. No one's going to replace. I'm not going to replace you. Calm down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[almost jerks away from the touch but manages to stay put.] You can't get around the fact that I need to be there at some point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 09:48 am UTC (link)
	I wouldn't have it otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-12-12 09:53 am UTC (link)
	And in the meantime, I wait? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 09:54 am UTC (link)
	Until she's suitably convinced. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-12-12 09:57 am UTC (link)
	[laughs, sounding kind of sick] Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 10:00 am UTC (link)
	Did something happen? You weren't like this when you left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xceptional 2011-12-12 10:02 am UTC (link)
	You hadn't cut me out of the plan then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xistential 2011-12-12 10:03 am UTC (link)
	Oh, for heaven's sake, you are not cut out of anything. Do you want us to die, is that it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[digs into his mind] ... You are still in control. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[hisses silently] I'm not. Everything's being handled by something or someone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[there's a flicker of hurt before it's purged] All right. Decide. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[something dark twists inside him, vestige from going down into the Guardian's chambers to get the memories and behaving, behaving oh so properly, following the rules and walking back up the stairs without so much as flinging a dirty look his way, much less the knife he wanted to. but it stills at the hurt. he holds himself in statis for a few moments, between two competing desires.]

You can't go down there alone. [slight hesitation] Whether I'm with you or not.

[you aren't the only one who worries.]

	Okay. [buries his head in Erik's shoulder, feeling tired himself] Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We'll get out. This won't happen again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
