[Here comes the audio, and at first it's nothing but sniffling. And then sobbing. And then...]

H-Helen?

Helen?

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 04:35:09 UTC

Hey.

[Pause]

I wanna ask how you're feeling, but I think I've already got a clue.

Voice yetsleeping February 17 2011, 04:36:41 UTC

[And a sniffle.]

I'm all right. I mean... It hurt. The...

It's not the wound, though. You know?

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 04:44:15 UTC

Yeah...

[She sighs.]

So I gotta ask. Who are you crying for? [Isley, Senji, or even herself. Helen could understand that.]

Voice yetsleeping February 17 2011, 04:45:44 UTC

I don't know. I don't--

Is he still following you?

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 04:57:35 UTC

Nah. It's over.

But I doubt he's crying. And I know I sure as hell ain't. So...

Voice yetsleeping February 17 2011, 04:59:37 UTC

Then I have to go home. Which means facing him. Which means--

I don't know what it means. If I'd been fixating on anyone but Senji, I wouldn't be so afraid.

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 05:05:44 UTC

Oi, you don't have to do shit. And he's got no reason to be on his high horse.

[Get it?! High horse. ...Sorry.]

So was that all it was? The same thing just came over you?

Voice yetsleeping February 17 2011, 05:12:15 UTC

No, I don't-- I mean, I don't have to, but...

But if you ask me who I'm crying for. I. It's both of them. And it's me. I don't want to hurt anyone, but I know this must hurt Senji. I know it. And because it's Senji, it'll hurt Isley too. And now, I...

It's all open again.

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 05:33:44 UTC

Look, you were under...whatever the hell that was. Plus you got skewered. Just focus on yourself for now. They're big boys. [Well, she thinks that at least one of them is.] They'll be fine.

You don't wanna make shit worse by just rushing in. Take it from someone who knows.

Voice yetsleeping February 17 2011, 05:37:45 UTC

...I got skewered because I wasn't paying attention to anything but Senji.

[There's a shifting sound - a creaking. She hugs her knees.]

If I make him wait, he'll just be mad about it. He likes to think he seems patient, but he's not. Not if you pay attention. And I always pay attention because if I don't--

I just. I don't want to lose track of his moods. So I can't stay away for long.

...anyway. Yes, it just. Came over me.

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 05:49:41 UTC

Well, I would offer to distract him by telling him how much he fucked up my life the past few days, but somehow I think that'd just make him worse.

So have you talked to Senji? He took it pretty hard when you got hurt, you know.

Voice yetsleeping February 17 2011, 05:54:57 UTC

I haven't spoken to either of them. I haven't spoken to anyone but you.

[...]

...but he would. I almost never get hurt, much less in front of him. And he--

He still... I mean. He cares.

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 14:16:50 UTC

Yeah, I noticed.

I don't think he's the only one though.

Re: Voice yetsleeping February 17 2011, 16:31:58 UTC

...what do you mean?

Voice applelimber February 17 2011, 22:58:38 UTC

I mean you still care too, don't you?
