Evidently not, if you know so much and still don't comprehend.

[mind_over_metal]

Yes, obviously, I'm the one who's failing to understand, there couldn't possibly be the slightest flaw in anything that you're thinking.

[godwinner]

And what makes you think you will fix it, Charles? You failed before, didn't you?

*a quick flash of closing off, hiding, before he lets the hurt show*





Someone has to try. Any dream worth having is a dream worth fighting for.

[godwinner]

That's all it is.

[mind_over_metal]

Not that. It's- From before. With the both of us. You believed it, too. Or wanted to, at least.

What are you doing. You're the one who said we didn't want the same thing. I believe you, what...

[mind_over_metal]

Because we don't. But before that, it had seemed as though we could. Not because of anything that I would do or that you would lose, but just because...

[ there is a long moment of silence during which he stares at Charles. then he blinks and looks away. ]

Worth the death and suffering of our kind? Maybe to you, but not to me.

This is a digression, Charles.

*with an edge to it*

And here I'd thought we'd finally gotten to the point.

[godwinner]

If this is the point then I'd rather not waste my time on this conversation.

[mind_over_metal]

And I wouldn't want to do that. Waste your time.

[godwinner]

I'm glad we have an understanding.

[ so goddamn sarcastic. and going to leave now. ]

wants nothing more in this moment than to kick something.*
