Regarding Storyboards and Spoilers for Episode 4

[abitofawildman]

No, I don't want to talk about it.
Yes, I'm fine.
That was a private moment you just went and stomped all over, thanks kindly.

Just...leave me be.



...


And you might want to consider dusting in here every now and again. Stuff keeps getting in my eyes.

Comments

[savedtheworld]

Hey... I feel very proud of you already. Just think of much that will grow over time!

Speaking of dust..... /sheepishly dusts her off

[metal_bending_hardass]

These people like to do that a lot.

HAI!

[abitofawildman]

[Bumi sighs, runs a hand through is hair, and calls forth a smile from...somewhere.]

Lin.

[abitofawildman]

[Bumi can't help himself, he silently laughs in the way that makes it come out as more of a snort through the nose.]

I'll keep that in mind, though it sounds like the kind of thing that requires math.

Hi hi <3

[metal_bending_hardass]

Agreed.

[His smiles always come from somewhere even when he really doesn't have anything to smile about. Just one thing that will always amaze her about him.]

Bumi. Just ignore them if you can.

[zombiedad]

[As a man, Meryl knows not to comment on "dust" getting in another man's eyes. But he does have to say something. He tries to look normal, but there's definitely an odd fondness - as well as a sadness - in his eyes.]

...You must be the eldest.

[abitofawildman]

Oh? And what makes you say that?

[abitofawildman]

Oh yes, because that's likely to happen.

[metal_bending_hardass]

It's been working fairly well for me, except when you pop up.

[abitofawildman]

I always knew I was special.

[metal_bending_hardass]

You're doing it again.

[abitofawildman]

I can't help but be relentlessly charming, Lin. You should know that about me by now.

...

And thank you, for the distraction.

[metal_bending_hardass]

You're relentless, I'll agree there.

You're welcome.

[abitofawildman]

So. Speaking of distraction...

[metal_bending_hardass]

Don't push it.

[abitofawildman]

[The laugh starts out small, but as per usual with Bumi, it doesn't stay that way for long.]

What are you going to do, Bei Fong? Ignore me?

[metal_bending_hardass]

[Don't ever change. She snorts, arms crossing.]

I've learned that doesn't actually work.

[abitofawildman]

Always knew you were smart as a whip, Lin.

[metal_bending_hardass]

Is that why you keep coming back?

[burnedbrighter]

They have no respect for privacy. It's unsettling.

[abitofawildman]

Among other things.

[His expression shifts.]

I will always come back for you, Lin.

[abitofawildman]

At the least. At the most it's rude.

[burnedbrighter]

It's like they were raised by badger frogs.

And yet we're at their mercy. Humiliating.

[metal_bending_hardass]

[That... might have just melted a tiny fraction of the ice wall she has around her heart. Maybe. Mother would be proud.]

And you call your mun a glutton for punishment.

[abitofawildman]

Yes well, it's possible we might be well suited to work with one another.
