considering abaxcity. again. canon is drawing blood.

I don't want to go anywhere without him. After all this shit, all we've been through - no, everything I've put him through...

[ a pause of consideration and then: ]

... Maybe he shouldn't come. Maybe you're right. But it isn't you he's going to be pissed at. I don't even want to- [ trevor stops himself and takes a deep breath. ] In the end, my opinion doesn't matter. You'll do whatever you want to do, anyway.

At least it isn't the carnival again.

I find it nearly impossible to make them listen.

[birdland]

It's an exercise of control. They just... want to know what it feels like. [ his tone is awkward and his brows knit. ] At least, that's what I think.

[downtrodden]

Control is something that I have always lacked. It will be interesting to see this one try to control me.

I can only offer snippets of advice; adapting is the best one can do in an unfamiliar situation. If that does not work, then fight your way through them.

[birdland]

Do you think they'll succeed? In controlling you, I mean. People are so volatile to begin with, I don't think it'd be easy to control anyone.

[ oh. well, that draws a very small and hesitant smile from him. ] I think I can do that. I've fought my way out before kind of. Do you have experience with situations like that?

[downtrodden]

Doubtful. Mun and I have been going at this for years and she has yet to control me. Of course, I submit willingly on occasion, but according to a dear friend of mine I wear rage quite well.

( she runs her hands over her soiled apron. thankfully soiled by soot and god knows what else litters the horrid london streets instead of blood like it is in wonderland. ) Many. Though, I doubt I would have survived or walked away almost unharmed without the advice I was given.
