Day 2 in Chile: Birding along the central coast

After a decent night's sleep, we got up early this morning for our birding tour. The guide and a driver picked us up at 8am and we had an epic day of birding! It was cold but mostly sunny, so not as cold as yesterday except when it was very windy. The guide told us that this is one of the best times of year to visit Chile, bird-wise, because a lot of birds that breed further south migrate here in the winter... as do a lot of birds who breed further north!

We did spend a lot of the day in the car in between birding, but that was fine actually as it gave Wife (who is an introvert) a break from interacting and it also meant less time in the sun and wind. And we saw lots of birds, nearly all of which were new for me.

The guide hasn't shared the eBird list with me yet so I'm sure I won't remember everything, but here's what I remember (not chronologically, and I've tried to put my favorites near the top, but not really in order and they were all exciting in one way or another):

Humboldt penguins! We were pretty lucky; I think there were about 30 of them hanging out on a small island preserve very close to the beach.

Inca terns. These were very beautiful and unusual-looking terns, dark grey with long white whiskers and red beaks, with a yellow spot at the base, and red feet.

Grey gulls starting to get their breeding plumage. I thought these were very cute, elegant gulls.

A giant hummingbird. Which... is not an exaggeration. It was enormous. Too big to hover. But clearly hummingbird shaped. Totally incongruous!

Tufted tit-tyrant. (The Tufted Tit-Tyrants is my new band.) Probably one of the cutest birds I've ever seen.

Peruvian boobies

Peruvian pelicans--not too different from the brown pelicans we see at home, but larger.

Three kinds of cormorant: Most were neotropic cormorants, but we also saw a couple of guanay cormorants, and several of the very beautiful red-legged cormorant.

Southern lapwings. Kind of a patchwork pattern of coloration.

Two rufous-chested dotterels, one of which was getting its breeding plumage.

Three kinds of cinclodes: gray-flanked (which breed in the Andes but winter on rocky beaches), seaside (larger), and (I think?) buff-winged.

Two kinds of oystercatchers: blackish and American (I don't think I'd seen the American kind before; the ones in California are black oystercatchers).

Yellow-billed pintails

Yellow-billed teals

Diuca finches

Lake duck (similar to a ruddy duck)

Rufous-collared sparrows (apparently more common than house sparrows in Chile, and infinitely cuter!)

Coscoroba swans, which looked less mean and more friendly than our usual swans

red-gartered coots

Great shrike-tyrants

Long-tailed meadowlark. Startlingly red face and front.

Chimango caracaras, which were the raptors I'd seen on the way from the airport. Apparently there are no corvids here, but these fill that ecological niche. We saw two of them eating a dead meadowlark.

Dusky tapaculo. The guide made limited use of playback in the one foresty stop. This bird is very shy but we did manage to get a decent view of it.

Variable hawk.

Harris's hawk

Great grebes

White-tufted grebes

Brown-hooded gulls

Chilean mockingbirds

Two kinds of swallows: blue-and-white and Chilean

Chiloe wigeons

black vultures

a rufous-tailed plantcutter

Austral thrushes

Austral blackbirds

We also saw sea lions and a couple of otters!

We had them drop us off at a restaurant in Viña Del Mar, which saved them some driving and meant we could try a restaurant we were interested in. We drank Pisco sours (a great cocktail!) and--as usual--ordered too much food. Then we managed to get a bus back to Valparaíso and had a steep walk back up to the hotel, as the funiculars don't run late.

Colombia 10,000 Pesos Banknote, 1994 The Colombia 10,000 Pesos banknote was released by the Bank of the Republic in 1994 to commemorate the Quincentennial of Columbus' voyage. The banknote comes in a color combination of green, brown, red, and yellow. Its obverse design features a plant, two sailing ships, an Embera Indian woman, a plate, and a gold figure. The back of the note depicts a greater flamingo, an Andean condor, a green honeycreeper, an Andean cock of the rock, a blue and yellow macaw, a hoatzin, a scarlet ibis, a yellow-hooded blackbird, a metallic green tanager, a white pelican, a frigatebird, a keel-billed toucan, a Baltimore oriole, a scarlet macaw, a yellow-crowned parrot, and a red-capped cardinal. It also shows Martin Waldseemullers 1507 world map, the cornucopia bank seal, and Cristobal Colons Santa Maria sailing ship. The paper bill is 140 x 70 mm in size and bears one plain security thread and one with printed BRC 10000. The banknote also has a watermark that reflects an Embera woman

been feeding birds for about a year, on and off, and it just never stops bringing me such extreme joy to see them fuck around outside getting seeds. like I'm not doing some youtube shit where I make them like me by slowly creeping up, I just fill up the feeders and lurk at the windows while the blackbirds probably talk shit about me. but I saw a yellow-hooded blackbird today and it's sincerely the highlight of my week

[dc-sideblog]

[id: ten images of black lineart on white backgrounds. The first is Tim Wayne in a slightly modified version of his fanon Blackbird costume. The next is Jason Todd as the successor to the Fright Knight from Danny Phantom. He is dual wielding the All Blades, which are on fire. His shoulders up are also on fire. He has either curved ears or horns on his helmet, a belt, sectioned gloves and boots, and a tri panel skirt. He has a dripping bat symbol on his chest. The next image is Stephanie Brown as a Green Lantern. She has the symbol on her belt and ring. She is wearing a fairly basic bodysuit with gloves, boots, and a cropped jacket with a hood over top. There is also a line of trim across her upper chest. The fourth image is of Bruce Wayne as a Yellow Lantern. His typical cowl ears are curved into horns, and he has a matching shoulder piece attaching his cape. The Yellow Lantern symbol is on both his shoulders, his chest, and his knee pads. He has a utility belt and spiked, sectioned gloves. There is a lot of detailing on the suit as decoration. There are also sectioned areas down his sides and the centers of his boots. The fifth image is Jason as the Fright Knight again, in the same design as earlier, next to Danny Phantom in a modified suit. He has a cape fastened at the side with a brooch that has his symbol on it. The Crown of Fire floats above his head. He's waving at the viewer. The next image is Sasha/Scarlet in a redesigned suit. She has a helmet that covers her face down to her nose and is wearing a basic hero bodysuit. There is a Bat symbol on her chest that connects to a hooded cape. She has both a utility belt and other pouches and pockets on her legs. There is very clearly a knife in her boot. The next image is Anarky, Red Hood Stephanie Brown, and Red Lantern Kara Zor-El. Anarky is in his standard outfit but with his hair out. Kara is in her canon Red Lantern getup. Stephanie is dressed mostly the way Jason does as the Red Hood, but with a midriff jacket and her hair out in a ponytail. She has a sword strapped onto her back, at least one gun, and a knife in each boot. The eighth image is Jason as the Fright Knight again but this time riding on Nightmare and holding a sword aloft. The ninth image is future versions of Kara Zor-El, Stephanie Brown, and Cassie Sandsmark as the next Trinity. Kara is wearing the more adult, authentically Kryptonian outfit described in the second image of the original post. Steph is pretty much in her standard Batgirl outfit but without the hood and now with short, swept over hair. Cassie is wearing a leather motorcycle vest attached with three chains and featuring the Wonder symbol. She is also wearing a muscle tee, her lasso, and jeans with three big stars on one hip. The tenth and final image of this reblog is another Tim Wayne redesign, this time as Red Hawk. He has a huge bird emblem on his chest that extends under his arms. He also has a wing cape that is sectioned off at the bottom. He is holding his bo staff. He has a utility belt, gloves, boots, knee pads, and a mask that points downward and covers most of his face.]

Modified suits line art dump. Feel free to color

[id: seven plain line art images with no color. The first is Batman in white tie attire but with the cowl, cape, and high heels. He’s holding a fluted glass and the suit lapels are shaped like bat wings. Second image is of Supergirl but with a toga-cape combo thing that hooks over her shoulders with a chain, and then a back panel functions as a cape and a front panel gets tucked under her belt and creates a partial skirt. She has gloves that end above her elbows with wide trim and matching boots that end above her knees. She is wearing a headband. Third image is Tim Drake as Batgirl in a fairly basic bat-style suit. It has a cowl, cape, utility belt, and bat symbol. He’s got a batarang. Fourth image is Supergirl again but this time her cape drapes down the front of her chest as a shawl with the crest of El on it. She’s wearing the same style boots as the last image but has a panel type skirt with open sides over her pants. She still has the headband. Her sleeves go up partly over her hands to hook around her thumbs and come with pointed vanguards. Fifth image is of Nightwing but without the bird symbol and plus a body braid and finger splints. Sixth image is of preteen Cass and Jason fist bumping. Cass is wearing a balaclava and hood instead of her usual cowl. The hood has stitching around the edges and attaches to her suit with a little sun disk. Her suit has a bird symbol instead of a bat and bulkier vanguards, knee pads, and boots than normal, plus the cape has a straight edge. Jason is wearing a vigilante suit with many layers on the shoulders and no cape. He has gloves, knee pads, shorts, Robin boots, and a domino mask. His suit has a few rings as armbands, a bird in a circle on the chest, and laurel leaves above the top half of the circle. The seventh image is Jason Todd as an adult wearing heavy body armor and a jacket with rolled up sleeves. He has a burning bird symbol on his chest. The Red Hood helmet is there but covered in upwards-reaching feathers on the top. He has a gun in each hand.]

Blue and Yellow - Part 11 - Axel Cluney

Warning: 18+ sex/mature themes/strong language/medical themes/mentions of blood & injuries/hospitals/violence/drug and alcohol use.

Description: Saberrah Asta, Featherfall General’s newest nurse, finds herself entangled in the complicated life of an underground boxer with a slew of problems she can’t fix. Will Axel’s love knock out the voices telling her to run, or will their explosive romance fizzle as fast as it flourished?

Note: Transitional chapter into the third and final act of Blue and Yellow. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know your thoughts and reblog if you can. It would be much appreciated.

Axel pounded the sidewalk to the body shop where Arty worked, several kilometres from Featherfall General. He chain-smoked along the way, leaving a trail of ash and butts, his free hand tucked in his pocket when it wasn't flicking a lighter. He reached the shop with his last dry cigarette between his lips and a pounding headache from thoughts of the previous twenty-four hours.

Arty noticed Axel through a rain of sparks and the dark, dirty visor of his welding helmet. His sudden appearance gave Arty a good-spirited jolt, but the look on his cousin's face snuffed his excitement. It had been a while since Arty saw Axel looking anything worse than indifferent. Since he had gotten serious with a girl, Axel had no reason to come around, and when he did it was always for some small talk, weed or car troubles. Today, it looked like it was all three.

"Hey, Axel. What're you doing here? The Monte's nowhere near done, eh. She's still waiting her turn in the garage."

"That's not why I'm here," said Axel. "I need to borrow your car. Or someone's car."

"Thought you had your girl's ride?"

Axel dropped his shoulders and scowled. "Does it look like I have a ride, brainiac? Gimme some goddamn keys."

"Alright, jeez. What's eating you, bud?"

"Everything."

Arty fetched the key off the workbench nearby and dropped it in Axel's hand.

"Remember, no drinks. Just had her detailed."

"Yeah, right. Thanks, Art. I'll have her back at close."

"No worries, boss. You can drive the bird until I get the Monte back up and running. I'll tackle it tomorrow, first thing."

Axel went around the shop where the old yellow sports car sat glinted in the bright noon sun. The blackbird emblem spread its geometric wings over the hood, and two matching stickers of cartoon bulldogs flexed on the doors. It would have been a classic beauty in Axel's eyes if it weren't for the tacky decals Arty had plastered onto the finish. Axel never forgave Arty for marring the car's electric shine but now cared little enough he forgot about it and sped off for his uncle's house.

Uncle Harry and his flock rented a well-lived-in townhouse inside a court called Newton Boulevard, a neighbourhood where everyone knew each other, and the co-op hosted bingo Sundays and Christmas in July. Axel had spent a lot of his childhood around Newton Boulevard. The winding road reminded him of Summertime chalk drawings and playing army tag in the field behind the old E-unit housing.

When the Firebird stormed through the court and pulled up in the visitor parking, the regulars flocked with questions and admiration at the ready. Axel nodded them off, trying not to cause a scene and spoil his surprise visit. He made brief greetings and climbed up the stone steps to his uncle's house, leaving the townies to gawk at the Firebird all they wanted.

The inside of Harry's house smelled like a fast food joint, all grease and no ventilation. His son and Axel's half-cousin Kirby slouched on the living room sofa, a bucket of Fast Eddie's cheese fries in his lap, and only mildly interested in Axel's appearance. Nothing had changed since last he'd been through except Kirby's girth and the deterioration of the faux leather couch.

"Hey, Kirb. Where's Marley?" Axel asked.

Kirby shrugged his slumping shoulders and crammed a fistful of fries in his mouth, intent on the TV court judge's verdict before a commercial break inevitably wedged between him and the dramatic pay-off.

"She upstairs?"

"Sh! I dunno, Axe. She might be in her room or at her boyfriend's."

"Who's her boyfriend?"

"Hell if I know who she's sleeping with now."

Axel climbed the stairs, and the sound of daytime sleaze television morphed into cheerful Reggae and cackles. Marley's room was at the top of the stairs to the right, and Axel made no hesitation banging on the door several times before entering uninvited. Inside, Marley sat on her futon beside an olive-skinned man, smoking a blunt. The man took in a lungful of smoke from an eight-ball-shaped bong. Both sets of bloodshot eyes flew open like a cop had busted down the door.

"Marley, we have to talk," said Axel.

"What about?"

"You know what about!"

"Hey man, why don't you just calm down," the stranger said.

"Hey man, why don't you get the fuck out of my house?"

"You live here?"

"Manny, just go. You don't want to get punched out," said Marley.

"Yo, for real, mami?"

Axel pointed at the door. "Yeah, for real, bud. Beat it. Now."

Manny set the bong down on a coffee table covered in weed crumbs and empty joint tubes from various dispensaries.

"What about my money, huh?" Manny asked.

"Don't worry, babe," Marley said, grabbing his hand gingerly. "I'll post up with you in a bit. This is a family matter."

Manny nodded once and left without further resistance, having understood the sanctity of family. After all, Manny had the word tattooed in Spanish down his forearm for a reason.

"Aight, girl. Guess I'll see ya."

Axel opened the door and gestured him out, then slammed it shut. He took a sprint at Marley, and she cowered, crossing her skinny wrists in front of her face. Axel would never let his fist fly, but it felt good to make her flinch and drop ash all over her lap.

"You fucking bitch!"

Marley made to scream, but Axel clamped his hand over her mouth, her volume reverberating his hand. She shrieked under his palm and thrashed away. Even in a deficient state, Axel was leagues stronger than the hundred-pound stripper. Marley drew her teeth and bit whatever meat she could hold, sending Axel back clutching his hand.

"You're lucky I don't beat your fucking face in."

"Do it, then. We already have matching bruises!"

"You jumped my girlfriend!"

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I don't give a shit about that bitch."

"What, you jealous or something? She doesn't have to wave her snatch around to make money and get guys to notice her?"

Marley crossed her arms under her chest, and the shift of her collar bone and ribs sickened Axel. She had always been a scrawny thing, but now her skin stretched over skeleton like spray-tanned latex.

"I can't believe you're shitting on sex work. That's unlike you, Axe."

"Yeah, whatever. I used to have respect for you. Now you're nothing but a fucking crackhead like your mom."

"Don't you dare talk about her to me!"

"Then stop fucking acting like her! You sent two of your friends after Sabi. She's lying in the hospital with stitches in her face! How did you think this would end?"

"I dunno, Axe. Are you gonna punch me out? Hm? Gonna beat a woman?"

Axel's arms and fists shook. He remained where he stood, envisioning the consequences of hitting Marley. Her nose was already blue and purple along the bridge and had bled out under her eyes. She glared up at him until he faltered. Hurting his cousin would only cement the family strife into his everyday life. If Harry found out Axel hit his stepdaughter, it would escalate to Rita, and if his mother caught wind of the drama, nobody would ever live it down.

After Axel retired his most gruelling scowl, Marley relaxed and knelt on the futon. Red Red Wine played through the room. The smell of weed got to Axel, and he motioned for her to hand him the blunt. She passed it to him, as well as a pink Bic lighter. Axel lit the end, tasting blueberries and Marley's spittle damp on the filter.

"What do you see in her anyway? She's totally not your type."

"Exactly. Which makes her exactly my type 'cause my type is fucking trash, and Sabi's the opposite of trash."

"So hanging out with you and Arty at Nikki's and punching people in the face isn't trash? Sure thing, cousin."

"It wasn't her idea to go," Axel said through an exhalation of smoke. "And you were asking for it."

"Anyone who dates you is trash or destined to become trash. Sorry to break it to you, but come on. If your girl's so great, how come she's with you?"

"I don't fucking know."

"And you're dating her because she's new and exciting and a nurse. You've always had a thing for nurses."

"Fuck off. You’re disgusting."

"Oh, come on, Axe. You know it's true. Remember that one Halloween?"

Axel changed his mind about the blunt and threw it at her. Marley jumped and plucked it from the cushion before it burnt a hole.

"Shut the fuck up!"

"We were so close."

"You have something seriously wrong with you."

"Lighten up, asshole. We're not really related anyway. Not even by marriage."

"I don't care, Marley. Get the thought out of your head. I was blackout wasted that night, and you were aggressive."

"Don't pretend like you didn't want it at the time, though."

"You ruined my life. Sabi fucking hates me now. If you think I want anything to do with you after that, you’re dumber than you look."

Marley shrugged and dabbed the blunt out into a heart-shaped ashtray.

"As if your life wasn't already fucked up before. Besides, I still don't know what you're talking about. I love you, Axe. Why would I jump your girlfriend? She's probably just lying to make me look bad."

"She wouldn't lie. Sabi doesn't lie."

"Bullshit. Everyone lies."

"She said two people jumped her and used your name. Why would she make that up?"

Marley yawned and stretched her twiggy arms and legs like a hairless cat. She laid across the futon, staring at the veins popping in Axel’s forehead. His eyes were shadowed and heavy. One side of his bottom lip didn't match the other in size or colour. He was swollen, bruised, strained, and too dizzy to fight anymore, especially after leaving Sabi in the hospital to deal with a breakup.

Axel hoped Farber would hear about the dramatic exit and rest easy. With the doctor and Isadora Asta off his back, he could deal with the inevitable pleading at Sabi's feet. He was confident in his plan. Sabi loved him. It lit up in her eyes before he left, and she would understand after an explanation. And If she resisted, he would persist. If she told him to go, he would simply refuse. He just needed a long rest before mustering the courage to face her again.

Marley wasn't worth the time spent not preparing to beg Sabi’s forgiveness again, if indeed begging was what it took to convince her they belonged together.

"You're lucky you're a woman. Otherwise, I'd fuck you up."

Axel spied a half pack of cigarettes on the coffee table and his mouth watered for a puff. He opened the door, readying to leave when Marley cleared her throat.

"That's all you have to say?"

"Stay the fuck away from her, and tell your buddies to back off. You're not the only one with friends, Marley. Remember that."

"I'm telling you, cousin. I didn't send anyone after her. She's just lippy. Maybe she shot her mouth off at the wrong person, and they set her straight. You know how it is around here. Look at someone wrong and pow. May I remind you that she hit me, and you did nothing. You just let some bitch hit your family."

"Thought we weren't related? Whatever. Lucky is all you are. I'll give you this one, but if I see you or your kind around my area, it won't just be an ass-beating."

Axel, as a last middle finger, snatched the cigarette pack from the table. He hardly recalled hurtling out the door, ducking into the Firebird, and heading for home. By the time he reached the elevator, his vision had faded around the edges, wandering, and he collapsed into bed fully clothed. The cat found him and mewled for food, but its owner was dead to the world.

~*~

Sabi didn't try calling Axel. Even a precisely worded text message was too strenuous to exact. Axel's departure was yet another blow to her senses, leaving her numb as the world crawled onward. The hospital food was bland, her mother's admonishing hit a wall, the sounds of machines and hushed voices all a blur. She awaited instructions, though she already knew what the doctor would say.

Crutches weren't going to cut it this time. Sabi left the hospital in a wheelchair driven by Isadora. She realized then Axel still had her car key, and her mother hadn't asked about the vehicle. She kept the realization to herself and let her mother wheel her home.

When Isadora stepped in, her eyes shot to the stack of boxes in the corner of the unused dining area, labelled in black Sharpie.

"It looks like you haven't even unpacked," Isadora said.

"I haven't, really. I tried, but..."

"What is happening to you, Saberrah? Are you doing drugs with that man? Tell me."

"I'm not doing drugs."

"Then why are you living in this filth?"

"I've just spent a lot of time elsewhere."

"That man is ruining you."

"His name is Axel, and he hasn't ruined me. He's sweet. But why would you trust my judgment? You've already made up your mind about him."

Isadora had not been present when Axel said his parting words in the hospital, and Sabi was determined to keep her in the dark. It was her freshest hurt, and the agony ran deep. She longed for bed and was too exhausted to entertain her mother or wonder why she defended Axel still.

"You should get comfortable, Sabi. I'll make you something to eat."

"There's no food here."

"Then I'll go shopping. But I'm returning, and I won't hear anything to the contrary."

Sabi grunted, and her mother drove her into her bedroom, seeing the simple bed and a dresser piled high with unwashed clothes. Had Sabi known her mother would see the apartment, she would have hurried to clean and unpack and maybe never had encountered two attackers. Like everything else, Isadora's appearance was unplanned, and Sabi looked worse for wear.

Isadora made quick work of the apartment, unpacking and cleaning as she went. She saw the empty cupboards, filled them with jars, cans and boxes of grocery staples, then stocked the bathroom with hand soap and toilet paper. The sun had gone down when Isadora stopped to check on her daughter.

Sabi dreamed of Axel in her bedroom, and upon waking, was disappointed to see her mother instead of her tall, tattooed beau. The orange haze floated around Isadora like a skirt of cloud. The woman forced a smile on her face, though in the darkness, the grin seemed sinister. Sabi's own forced smile collapsed when another wave of weariness claimed her back into a light slumber.

Ten hours passed before Sabi moved her body to the wheelchair and went to the living room, where the late afternoon sun glinted off Isadora's tar-black crown. It was strange to see her mother reading the newspaper on the sofa where memories with Axel took intimate form. Sabi tried not to think about the sexual activities done where she sat, as though her mother might learn her indiscretions with one hard look.

"Mom, you're still here."

"Of course I'm still here. I told you I'd be here when you woke up."

Sabi reviewed the cleanliness of the apartment and thanked her. Isadora accepted the gratitude with a curt nod and set the paper down on the freshly Windexed coffee table. She bowled her hands in her lap, gold rings disappearing under the fat pads of her fingers.

"Saberrah, you need help."

"Help with what?"

"How are you supposed to drive?"

"I'll be fine in a few days. I have some painkillers, and I can order dinner for a while. Mom, you don't have to make a point."

"I don't like this," Isadora shook her jowls. "I don't like this person you've become. I found disgusting things in the bathroom. Used condoms. Now I know you're living in sin."

"Mom, how many times do we need to have this conversation?"

"Until you clean up your act and stop making a fool out of yourself."

"Okay, you're right. I've been foolish. I'll go to church, but you promised not to intervene as long as I stayed in nursing. Well, I'm still a nurse, so you can't just move into my house because you hate that I have a boyfriend."

Sabi's tongue went dry from the utterance. Her head floated back to Axel and the conversation they needed to have. The exchange of property. And Sabi had a hunch their subsequent encounter would play out in her favour. Axel would ask for her back, and if he didn't, she would remind him why he loved her in the first place. Satisfied with her plan, Sabi tolerated Isadora's fierce scope for a while longer.

"I’m not like you and your sisters. I'm not a writer or a practitioner who's obsessed with academic prestige."

"I was married at your age, remember?"

"I'm sorry you had to find out about my life like this, mom. Really. I was going to call and suggest a visit soon. Then this new job distracted me."

"How serious are things between you and him?" Isadora asked.

"I have things at his place. I've met his mom. We've been going out a few months and... He's told me he loves me.

"What does she do? His mother."

Sabi paused on the truth, then let it spill. There was no point in hiding anything from Isadora and her forensic eye for detail. "She's unemployed. Most likely on disability. I've helped her out when I can."

"And he's good to her?"

"You'll never meet a man who loves his mom more. A total momma's boy."

"Would that I knew the feeling of having a child who respected me."

Isadora's dismay had been palatable up until that moment. With no willingness to bend for her mother's feelings, Sabi set aside her aches and sighed.

"I love you and appreciate everything you've done to help. All I want now is to return to normal. I don't need a live-in nurse. It's just my foot, and I'll be back on my crutches soon enough."

"The hospital should be paying your leave. You were assaulted on the job."

"No, technically, I was on the sidewalk after my shift."

"What, smoking?" Isadora asked.

"Mom—"

"I know you've been smoking! What else? Have you not found enough ways to torture me?"

"Nursing is stressful, and so are you!"

The woman fluttered her neck and felt around for her belongings: purse, keys, gloves. She stood up and wafted a cloud of Blue eau de toilette through the room.

"Fine. Where are your pain meds? You'll need them."

"In the bathroom cabinet behind the mirror."

Isadora shook her head. "I cleaned that bathroom top to bottom. I didn't find any pills. But you'll want to prop your foot and rest, Saberrah. Now, I suppose if you're done with me, I'll leave you alone."

"Why don't we have dinner soon? When I'm mobile."

"I'll check back in with you later this week. We can make dinner here. I won't hear no."

Too weary to steer Isadora away from showing up again, Sabi accepted with a nod, knocking gravel around in her skull. The relief that came when her mother vacated the apartment was quick and heavy. She waited until the footsteps disappeared through the elevator doors, then found her phone, which had been picked up by the people who helped her after the attack. Flecks of dirt still clung to the screen.

A dozen text messages and missed calls from Axel waited unanswered on her phone screen. Sabi didn't bother listening to the voicemail before dialling Axel. The rings stretched out for minutes. Each series rang in her head like an alarm bell, a tiny hammer smashing back and forth incessantly until the line picked up and she heard breathing.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

There was an enormous hesitation, and then, "yeah. I can hear you."

Suddenly, Sabi lost her words. His gruff voice chased away the balls she had gathered to make the phone call, and now they were sitting on the phone in shared silence. She wondered where he was, what he was doing. Pondering the most gut-churning possibilities, Sabi clutched her stomach.

"Hi," she said.

"Hey."

"I, um... Need my car back."

"I was about to call."

Sabi's chest cooled to hear of his plan to contact her. It confirmed that which she had hoped was Axel's regret.

"Can you bring it over?"

"Yeah. I left it at the hospital."

"I need my other things. Especially my painkillers. They're not here, so they must be at your place."

"I'll take a look around."

His monotone soured the airwaves. Sabi felt bubbles bursting under her ribs. Would he say he loved her like he always did? Call her his baby? She held her breath. Waiting for his reactions was like being plunged into ice water, lifted, and dunked again.

"When should I come over?" He asked.

Sabi stuttered, not wanting to come off too desperate after the way they had left things—Axel breaking it off before they had a chance to discuss what had transpired and who was to blame for the rotten chain of events.

"Can you come today? Like right now?"

"Yeah. Be there soon."

Axel hung up first, giving Sabi the time to overanalyze what his eagerness to get off the phone meant.

Lonely and high-strung hours rolled by, ripening the afternoon glow with shades of red. The sun disembarked from the sky, leaving Sabi on the balcony craving a cigarette. Isadora had gone through her bags and thrown out her leftover Belmonts and lighter while on her cleaning spree. Such presumptuous liberties would have caused Sabi to go off on a tangent, but now, her throbbing ankle and body weakened from a brain injury, she cared not to bemoan her mother's bleaching of the apartment.

Just when Sabi thought Axel changed his mind about coming, a knock came at the door. Axel toted a bag of clothes and toiletries, her car key and shadows of exhaustion. They stared at each other's bruises before Axel set the load on the coffee table and handed her the key.

"I didn't find your painkillers. You sure they're at my place?" He asked.

"No idea. It doesn't matter, really. I'll just pop a couple Advil, I guess."

"Okay. Sorry."

"It's fine."

"So... First off, I confronted Marley after I left the hospital. She just made up some bullshit. Didn't admit to anything."

Sabi waved her hand. "I don't care anymore. What good will it do thinking about it? She had me laid out, and maybe she had the right."

"Nah. If you're gonna hit somebody, you do it yourself. You don't send others to do your dirty work."

"I just want to move past this."

"Me too," Axel sighed.

"Are we...Were you serious about what you said at the hospital?"

Axel's eyes wandered to the balcony. Sabi followed his gaze and nodded.

"Wanna dart?"

"Yes, please," said Sabi, wheeling around to the sliding glass doors.

Axel took two cigarettes from the stolen pack in his back pocket, passed one to Sabi and lit them both. Once the nicotine had a chance to work into their bloodstreams, the conversation continued. Sabi looked across Featherfall, over rooftops and beyond where the sun turned the horizon into a coral blur. She had difficulty looking up at him without feeling utterly diminished.

"I want to be with you, Sab. I want it more than anything, but Farber can't know about us. No one at FGH. Not until I get this deal off my shoulders. After that, I promise I'll hang it up."

"You're not going to tell me what's really up, are you?"

"You're smart. I'm sure you can put it together. Farber isn't a guy to be messed with. I know he seems like a dweeb, but he can make our lives hell, and I'm already on his bad side. You have to make sure he thinks we split up for real."

"So, are we together?" Sabi asked.

Axel leaned against the railing and finally let his eyes meet hers again. "You still wanna be with me?"

"Yeah. I do. I wanna be with you, Axe. Even though my mother hates you, and I probably should, too...I can't."

"You shouldn't want a life with me. I can't pretend you're not making a mistake and I shouldn't warn you."

"But, I love you. What do I do with that? I can't change facts."

"I love you too," Axel said. "Fuck, I do. And I wish I didn't. I wish you'd never walked into that hospital room, honey."

"And I wish I'd never moved here," Sabi said.

They chuckled at the absurdity of the conversation. After anger and tears came the laughable tragedy of a love most frowned upon. The truth, both pleasant and not, had been revealed. Neither of them cared to endorse anything but what weak hearts wanted. Axel would hold onto Sabi for as long as she allowed, thorny as she might be for a while.

After that, a new bond was forged of refuse and revenge. Sabi pledged to love him more fiercely than ever before, to fuck him like it was her life's purpose, and to rub it in her mother's face. Axel reached for her hand and kissed her knuckles. He knew nothing of these oaths or that his well-placed lips sealed the promise and legitimized her decision to forget about the bad times.

In her hidden heart, Sabi knew this was yet another decision made of poor judgment and of selfishness. Nothing good would come of the agreement. Nothing except Axel's love which, once pledged, took nothing short of apocalypse to shake. She wondered how much more turbulence her devotion could withstand, but only for a moment until Axel squatted next to her, peering up with woeful eyes.

"I'll do better for you, babe. I will. I promise."  Tip me on Ko-Fi (if you want to)
