she can she she’s standing between inviting harm to him and inviting harm to herself. not that he’s prone to that kind of lashing out, but loss like this can turn anyone animal.

arti knows that this button can only be pushed so many times before it triggers a different result. what she doesn’t know is whether it hurts control more to leave the pattern unbroken.

“can i take you for lunch?”

must have been this, right? must have been that.

something james wanted them to add to the menu. something chocolate hazelnut. pecans?

he picks the container down, takes it under his arm. "i'll get this done first."

[legioun]

was.

wouldn’t say it. doesn’t think he minds tonight. but was quiet, technically speaking, until she chose dialogue over idling silently as saul would have been content to do.

“it bothers some.”

@legioun 𖦹

she thinks it's too dark to see his face. his tea is still too hot to drink.

"it's quiet out here."

[legioun]

she knows she’s ill-equipped to handle this. who wouldn’t be?

‘ have you thought about lying down in the office? ’ they’ve all suggested it at one point or another, she’s sure. he probably doesn’t want to hear it again. but somehow, in here, he looks worse.

‘ we can manage for an hour or two. you should—you know—? ’ sleep, obviously. ‘ he’d insist on it. ’

he's standing face-to-face with some plastic containers of chocolate sauce. eyes boring their way through the shelf.

"i'm." forgetting what i came in here for. "sure."

[legioun]

does she? does he? can she treat him like a ghost, inaudible, invisible, and retreat with a shiver only?

‘ i’m. fine. i don’t. um. ’ know why i’m here. ‘ are you? ’

@legioun 𖦹

one of them is in the walk-in.

"do you want to talk about it?"

[legioun]

some position to take. not minding rocks.

‘ wasn’t my question. ’ it sounds like it should have ‘and you know it’ tacked on, but with whitby he can’t know if he knows it. logic and linguistics seem to roll off him like water on polyester. ‘ don’t actually think i mentioned rocks. ’

@legioun 𖦹

wiping his hands meticulously on a hand towel, like he's removing fingerprints,

"i'm not a geologist, but i don't mind rocks. most of the time i just like the texture."

[legioun]

if you’d like a starter from anyone, please let me know who from and who for if you are also a multi!

otherwise you can take your chances and give this a like!
