Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

... I get it. I think.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

And it's not really fun to do that when I know you don't feel the same.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

... I can't imagine feeling that way about anyone.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

Mm.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

[well, I think we've located the epistemic gap at the root of all our trouble

looks kind of awkward and vaguely troubled]

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

...It's not like I mind this [handwave] itself. I've enjoyed all of it. [touches his neck] But... when it's all there is... and I can't have more from you, and I can't from anyone else because I'm only thinking about you...

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

[shakes his head]

I don't know how to give more.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

And I don't know how to want less. I was trying, but...

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

... Yeah....

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

...Yeah, you saw how well that went.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

I guess I did.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

So... I don't know what I want to do.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

Well... Whatever you choose to do. ... I just want you to do what you want.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

...Right now I kind of want to go find an actual bed until I'm a little more sober.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

You probably should. Treat those old bones of yours with a little more respect.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

Yeah, yeah. You're the one who held me up.

[stands up]

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

[stays where he is, and gives him a casual wave]

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

[looks at him, then turns to go... then turns further, trying to figure out exactly which way is the way back. dammit sunflowers]

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

[... watches him

are you lost...]

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

[Of course I am lost, I was drunk and not paying attention when we came out here and then I fell asleep, and the sunflowers fill in when you're not looking]

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

[l-laughs]

I'll escort you back.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

N-No, that's fine! Just... let me know which way it is back to the path, maybe.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

[pulls on his boots and levers himself up, throwing his shirt and jacket over his shoulder]

It's this way.

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[telltaleheart]

... [sighs and heads that way]

Re: Day 96, afternoon]

[edgeofjustice]

[leading him quietly]
