[And he'd really rather not be anywhere else.]

[amerikanskiie]

... I don't understand the sudden urge of bringing me out here. Weren't you always so touchy about my existence to begin with? What is this change of heart all of a sudden?

[Ah, perhaps he should stop asking. Asking too many questions leads to trouble, and trouble is what he wishes to avoid.]

... at least do your responsibilities of fixing up the details of my timeline. I still do not understand your interpretation of what occurred during the second Great War.

Please allow me to rest, now. I don't want to see their faces at present.

[detestsliberty]

You seem tired...

[amerikanskiie]

... considering my situation, I suppose that would be expected.

[detestsliberty]

Did your mundane tell you why she's suddenly interested in you?

[amerikanskiie]

Only because, contrary to everyone else, I refused to be here. They're odd like that.

[detestsliberty]

Well that's not reason enough.

Just because you reject your mundane's whims?

[amerikanskiie]

There is also to excuse of wishing to expand my timeline elsewhere... but the former would be the deciding factor.

[He lets out a sigh.]

Nevermind. I'm used to being pushed around into undesired affairs anyway.

[detestsliberty]

What exactly does she plan to do with you?

Well we shan't allow that!

[amerikanskiie]

They have no idea, at present. Which is well-preferred at present, considering it can't be anything pleasant--

... please don't. They aren't the only ones wishing me to do their bidding, and I'm far too used to it.

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

Hnnn...

Look what the cat dragged in.

[detestsliberty]

Well I hope for your sake it stays that way then.

..how can you say such things?

[amerikanskiie]

...

[Well there's a familiar sight. One he isn't completely pleased to see.]

Hello to you as well, I suppose.

[amerikanskiie]

Considering it's my mundane, I doubt it.

... it's the most to be expected from me, nowadays. Ser Braginsky would not have it otherwise.

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

Only suppose?

[amerikanskiie]

That would depend on whether you enjoy my presence to begin with.

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

Don't you get smart with me.

[amerikanskiie]

Are you sure you just haven't caught up?

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

[ He's just going to give him a look. ]

[amerikanskiie]

[And he's just smiling slightly in turn-- it's faint, almost not quite there really, but if one looked closely enough they'd see hints of a cheekiness that hasn't been present in a long while.]

You do realize time waits for no one, right?

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

I learned that a very long time ago.

[amerikanskiie]

And yet you seem to be taking your time with providing an answer.

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

I didn' ask for your sass, boy.

[amerikanskiie]

It comes and goes at its own pace. Only thing you can do I suppose is to try and keep up with it... that is, if you're able to.

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

Keep on and I'm going to kick you.

[amerikanskiie]

... surely you don't mean that.

[ofsoutherngraceandcharm]

What do you think?
