@itokunii​ ( Radek )  said   ❛ memories are only there to make you bleed. ❜  /  ( meme, accepting )

Malcolm’s answering hum is low ( dismissive, the word you’re looking for is dismissive ), soon to be replaced by his blowing gently on the edge of the ( fine bone china ) teacup. unnaturally cooled, the amber liquid slides smooth and pleasant down his throat, leaving whispers of bergamot on his tongue. tea. the miraculous English cure-all, the solution to every problem. he would offer some to his guest, out of courtesy alone, but ––– well. it is rather obvious why he refrains. ( offering might even cause insult, which he sees no point in. )

             “ memories are the home you built for yourself, and are cursed to perpetually carry with you, ”   he replies, even as he lowers the ( bonewhite, delicate ) cup to rest in its saucer, balanced adroitly upon his knee, the grace of it uncanny.   “ if it has jagged edges upon which you cut yourself, perhaps it is time to smooth them down. ”  his head tilts, then, mouth curling at the corner and eyes widening just so, as  if a thought had suddenly, unbidden, crossed his mind. “ if you desire to escape it. .. . well. that, is in my power to help with. but it will cost you. ”
