Because I don't need to be fixed.

[mind_over_metal]

*makes a frustrated noise and starts walking away toward one of the tables*

I'm going to get some candy.

[godwinner]

...

[mind_over_metal]

*I JUST CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH YOU RIGHT NOW








...returns a few minutes later with a cup of punch in each hand and a (sugarless) candy bar hanging out of his mouth. thrusts one cup toward Erik.*

[godwinner]

Thank you.

I apologise for being so uncooperative.

[mind_over_metal]

Mmngh.

*takes the candy bar out of his mouth with his now-free hand*

Apology accepted.

*and the sulkiness is already visibly draining away*

[godwinner]

[ holds the cup under his nose and raises his eyebrows briefly before taking a sip ]

...you haven't met Raven yet, have you?

[mind_over_metal]

I don't know who that is, so no.

*takes a sip of his own drink- pauses and gives it a little look, then just... resumes. takes another bite of his candy bar*

[godwinner]

She's your sister.

[mind_over_metal]

...I only have a brother.

[godwinner]

For now.

[mind_over_metal]

Leto said... he'd said that there would be someone.

But how- my mother's not going to have any more children.

[godwinner]

No?

[mind_over_metal]

I certainly hope not.

*siiiiiip*

[godwinner]

[ you seem to have a way of startling laughter out of him. ]

[mind_over_metal]

*for the first time in a while in this conversation, he smiles back at him*

[godwinner]

I don't know how you found each other.

[mind_over_metal]

Well, I'll take very good care of her.

[godwinner]

Perhaps she'll take care of you.

[mind_over_metal]

*with that long-suffering "don't be silly" tone that kids sometimes have to use with adults*

If I get a sister, I'm going to take care of her.

[godwinner]

What about your brother?

[mind_over_metal]

...I'm trying.

[godwinner]

That wasn't really what I meant.

[mind_over_metal]

Cain would be Cain, he doesn't really... Once he starts, he doesn't stop. He's huge.

*stretches his arms out in an illustrative "it was this big" sort of gesture*

[godwinner]

[ mild eyebrow raise ]
