Video - After Elric leaves

Jun 30, 2011 17:14

[Guess who realized the time was up that Elric gave until he left? Drake's thrown his communicator, which is why it flicked on, and now it's turned up at an odd angle, showing Drake as he throws little balls of energy around the room, yelling and breaking stuff. After a bit, he calms down, and sits on the bed for a moment, breathing heavily, ( Read more... )

Drake...

[He's not good at sympathy, but he regrets seeing the young man like this.]

[A soft sigh]

Would you like some assistance cleaning that up? Glass cannot damage me.

...yeah.

[private] feels_no_love June 30 2011, 23:11:27 UTC

I will be right down.

He arrived perhaps five minutes later, and knocked twice, schooling his face into somewhat gentler lines than usual.

[Drake opened the door, then headed back into the room, figuring Dracula would follow him, glass crunching under his heels with each step.] Oh. Do you need to be invited in?

[private] feels_no_love July 1 2011, 05:12:09 UTC

Need, no. I merely insist on it. [He walked in and looked around, then pulled one of the trash bags from the cleaning supply cabinet from under his coat and shook it out. He checked the bed, picked up a few shard, and then jerked his chin toward it.]

My suggestion is that you sit there while I gather the broken glass. And talk. I will listen. Be as loud as you need to.

"Okay." Drake sat down. "Elric left to go do something that's going to kill him."

"He does this knowingly, and he lets people know what is going on, so that someone mourns him. Yet it seems especially cruel to let people know this, and allow no other solution."

He moved around quickly, gathering up the bits in his large hands, face never changing expression even when the slivers pierced him.

"It is cruel, and I'm not good at handling this kind of thing. I've got abandonment issues."

Dracula dumped more fistfuls of mirror into the bag. "I do not know what those are. I just know that you strike me as a very loyal young man whose loyalty is not reciprocated often enough." He pursed his lips thoughtfully.

Re: [private] flashy_magic July 2 2011, 04:30:19 UTC

'"Yeah, that sounds about right.

[spam] feels_no_love July 2 2011, 04:42:01 UTC

He kept working. "It is the fate of all mortal men to die; at least your friend could choose to face it instead of having it leap on him unawares, as is the case with most of us. But that must be cold comfort. All I can do is promise you that I myself will not leave to face such a fate."

Re: [spam] flashy_magic July 2 2011, 04:46:10 UTC

"Yeah. I guess it's better when you're expecting it."

[spam] feels_no_love July 2 2011, 12:42:53 UTC

Dracula sighed as he continued to scoop up glass. "Indeed." A little frown. "My advice? Make more friends so that you will not focus so much on one or two. Do not be like me, left with half a handful as I am now."

[spam] flashy_magic July 2 2011, 13:10:21 UTC

"I'd still be upset when they leave."

[spam] feels_no_love July 2 2011, 23:53:05 UTC

"..."

Dracula paused. Then peered up at Drake with a thoughtful frown. "It really would bother you to lose any of us, wouldn't it?"

Then a faint smile. "But that is no reason to limit your relationships. If you have several friends the others can support you when one goes." He went back to working.
