an old muse has returned

[whatyougive]

I thought you were busy.

Comments

Pretend I have more than two icons

[mortally]

Long time no see.

oh hey there

[whatyougive]

Yeah.

How have you been?

eeeee bourne <3

[nagant]

Guess your mun likes you, then, buddy.

ah, another fan!

[whatyougive]

You could put it that way.

I love them movies, what can I say?

[nagant]

And how would you put it? I'd love to hear.

they are pretty wonderful

[whatyougive]

She likes bothering people.

[nagant]

[Shrug.] They tend t' do that, or so I've heard. I just got here myself, so I can't really say for certain about muns. ...Mosin, by the way. Hi.

[whatyougive]

They tend to. [Flat agreement.]

Jim. [...David why are you automatically giving an alias out on dear mun.]

slams gently into

[decks]

... Wow, I haven't seen you in a while.

embraces

[whatyougive]

Yeah, it's been a while.

How are you?

chinhands

[decks]

I've been better, but there's nothing really new there, considering my mun. How are you, though?

<3

[whatyougive]

...It could be worse.

<3

[decks]

[David, buddy, you should know that's not enough of an answer for her.]

But it could be better too?

[whatyougive]

[that doesn't mean habits aren't hard to break]

She could have not brought me back out.

[decks]

That's true. But I am glad to see you again.

[whatyougive]

It's good to see you.

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

It could be worse.

[whatyougive]

It could.

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

That's a good way to look at it.

[notascienceproject]

They're never too busy to bug us.

[Yes, he knows exactly who you are, Jason. Question is, do you know who he is?]

[whatyougive]

[Clueless Jason/David/name of the week is clueless, sorry Aaron.]

I've noticed that.

[notascienceproject]

[And Aaron picks up on that, a grin starting to spread.]

I would have thought you would be used to getting used, though. You look the type.

[whatyougive]

[He doesn't actively look suspicious. But there's a certain tensing of the muscles which a professional will recognize.]

I don't think anyone gets used to that.

Oh, Jason. /hugs

[notascienceproject]

[Which, of course, Aaron does. Instantly. He shows no such tensing himself. Completely relaxed, nothing wrong here, nope.]

Some people seem to. I dunno, must be how we're wired.

he's...special. poor Alex.

[whatyougive]

[There's an eyebrow raise at that, the barest hint of relaxing with the barest hint of leaning away.]

"We"?

He just needs a hug. And Aaron is likely going to try to be his best friend when he gets over stuff

[notascienceproject]

Well, yeah. We're in the same boat, right? Controlled by these mundanes. There's gotta be something in us, right?

[A shrug]

I dunno, maybe I'm just thinking too much about it.

d'aww, Aaron is a good bro

[whatyougive]

[An answering shrug, if small.]

I figured there was something in them.

He is. He'd be buds with everyone... while trying to figure out their secrets. :|

[notascienceproject]

See? We're even on the same wavelength. That's gotta mean something, too, right?

hey that's good tradecraft

[whatyougive]

Not really.

[But quite possibly.]

Very good.

[notascienceproject]

[And Aaron shrugs.]

Suit yourself.

So, what's your story?

[worthinvesting]

It's my understanding time constraints make no difference here.

[whatyougive]

I think that's why she posted here.

[worthinvesting]

Then you can take comfort in the fact it is only temporary.

[whatyougive]

It's not going to stay that way.

[aident]

When has that ever stopped them?

[whatyougive]

Not often.

[aident]

So what's the issue?

[whatyougive]

I preferred being left alone.

[aident]

Nobody likes being pulled here and told what to do.
