Tom couldn't help but let a smirk free. Hurt someone? Didn't she think they thought of that? Sure, if Meleania had her way so many would have died- but that was why she thought of things yet did not always enact them. Take this time for example, the only person who got hurt that he was aware of (who also didn't run headlong into the fire) was some college kid who burned his hand on one of the lighters. Not even enough to complain about if he wasn't such a pussy.
"Possibly, and hurting aren't the same love. We didn't, now did we? The message was clear enough and not a bandaid needed 'cept for the fools."
He withdrew the paper, shoving it back inside his coat. He'd have his own use for it later on- evidence to hold up, to burn and to mock. Words had their use, and burning words? Oh what a show.
