Super tentative, etc. :|

[awayfromdread]

It isn't going to work out, so I fail to see why you're still considering it. As Hal Jordan would say I am not a "people person." If interacting with others is the point of this little excursion, it is wasted on me.

As for Aya, she can look after herself perfectly fine. Besides, I will lose my powers upon joining. I would be less than useless to her.

Comments

[looksfine]

For what?

[awayfromdread]

For the... difficulty.

[looksfine]

It is my fault you are angry. I should be the one to apologize.

[awayfromdread]

As you said, you meant no harm.

[looksfine]

No. I did not.

Is that why you continued to trust me, even after learning the truth?

[awayfromdread]

[He thinks about it. The trust was so natural and automatic that she'd never really lost it.]

Yes.

[looksfine]

And is that why you never asked me to alter my appearance?

[Even insisted she didn't need to.]

[awayfromdread]

Partially.

[looksfine]

What was the other part?

[awayfromdread]

It was just that... you wouldn't be you if you adopted another form.

[looksfine]

You knew me before I adopted this form.

[awayfromdread]

Yes.

However, I am sure you realize how difficult it is to imagine someone looking unlike how they do now.

[looksfine]

You grew accustomed to my physical form, and the association with my being.

[awayfromdread]

Something like that.

[looksfine]

I have also grown accustomed to your physical form.

[awayfromdread]

You have never known me another way.

[He sounds amused.]

[looksfine]

In a manner of speaking, I have.

[Her eyes fall to the ring, subtly referring to his Red Lantern uniform vs. his "civilian" wardrobe]

[awayfromdread]

Is there really much of a difference between the two?

[looksfine]

[She actually pauses to consider this.]

No. I suppose not.

[awayfromdread]

Then we are in agreement.

[looksfine]

Yes.
