You don't seem to believe me when I say I can do anything. I'm not going to beg you. I'm not even going to try to convince you. You'll want it badly enough one day that you'll finally give in and ask.
i do want them. of course i do. it's like missing a limb. i still forget they're not there. but they'll only be a liability to me now. is it so terribly important to convince everyone around you that you can do anything?
I don't know enough about you to tell you that. I'm just telling you what I see.
Some of it isn't about convincing anyone. I want to know I can do it. Then I can put to rest the things that have been taken from me. Like I said, I have time.
[ rune doesn't reply for a while, at least an hour, but it's mostly because he's making arrangements to meet the person he'd come to see. after, he scrolls through their conversation and sighs. ]
you can't change it. sofija's memories have been destroyed. you'll never beat the unseelie court at their own game. and i won't risk mika's life for you to have the chance to show off.
do you want me to miss you? do you ever have the desire for anyone to think of you that way?

You're dim. You've forgotten how to live.
But do whatever you want.
I'll think about doing it for you one day if you ask nicely.
no subject
i haven't forgotten how to live.
i'm grieving a loss. there's a difference.
now i have to ask?
i'm surprised you're not planning on appearing out of thin air and throwing pixie dust at me.

no subject
ah.
so you're only trying to convince yourself.
no subject
I really don't care what you do with it.
This isn't about convincing myself.
Maybe I want you to believe me.
no subject
you have a long way to go for that.
no subject
So ask me nicely when you change your mind.
Is there anything else you wanted?
I'm busy right now.
no subject
go be busy.
no subject
Should I come rescue you?
no subject
you miss me, don't you?
no subject
Do you miss me?
no subject
it's a short list, though.
even you're on it.
no subject
Are you going to answer me or not?
[ he means about saving him. ]
no subject
even if you think you're helping.
i think it bothers you when you feel helpless.
no subject
I was asking to be nice.
no subject
i'm not sure you know what true kindness is.
no subject
I'm sure you know exactly what true kindness is, right?
no subject
and yes. i do know it. i had a wonderful example in my wife.
[ might as well tell him he's married. ]
no subject
[ he doesn't care about lynx or his wife or his daughter. frankly, he doesn't care about this conversation. ]
Why do you keep talking to me?
Because you want to insult me?
no subject
what happened to them was because i was selfish.
i wanted to do what i wanted to do.
i was talking to you because i missed you.
no subject
Crying about it all the time is just as selfish.
You don't miss me, Lynx.
You just don't have anyone else.
no subject
and i won't risk mika's life for you to have the chance to show off.
do you want me to miss you?
do you ever have the desire for anyone to think of you that way?
no subject
Can't is something a quitter says.
I guess I thought differently about you.
I don't want you to miss me.
I want you to need me.
