Leaving For Now. *OTA*

[time_schizo]

He had lingered a lot longer than he had planned, but Martini was finding it harder to leave than he had initially planned. The fact so many were just willing to forgive and forget was agitating, but at the same time relieving. But everywhere he turned Martini was assaulted by the ghosts of the pasts. Here was the kitchen where he had broken Tandy’

There were times that the inability to sleep came in handy. This was one she was leaning against the wall as he passed. She wouldn't stop him, wasn't her place to do so.

"You know someone's gonna miss ya. And kinda rude to leave without sayin' by to the doc don't ya think."

Martini had been hoping no one was up, but knew that in a house this big there was bound to be one or two who would still be awake. He just sighed and paused, leaning against the wall as he thought.

"It's easier this way. I don't need to cause any more harm than I already have. Besides, it's no secret I've been talking about leaving anyway.

"Yeah, well the brat's still waiting for you you know." She means the healer of course.

"Not that you'd care right? She still insists on trying to help you."

Mark shook his head, his old stubbornness rearing its head once again. "No. I won't hurt her anymore than I already have. She tried to help me and look how I repaid her. At least if I leave, I won't be able to do that to Ash or anyone else anymore."

She nodded. "Look, she's already blaming herself, you leaving will make things worse. You think about that?" She sighed a little.

"Probably not with how you are." She shook her head. "Go, she'll get over it."

Martini just ran his fingers over his watches. "If I was a better and stronger person, I could. But I'm not. I'm a selfish coward, so I'm taking the easy way out."

"Thanks Sherry. Keep an eye on her while I'm gone. And, uh, sorry for killing you and all." The last part came out as awkwardly as could be expected.

She bit her lip a moment. "Fine."

She nodded to him. "I will, and hey at least it wasn't a worse way to die though really, you know how hard it is to regrow a stomach. Ugh, I'll pass on that again okay."

[time_schizo]

Martini tried not to let it show how truly disgusting that sounded. "Trust me, I won't be killing anyone again for a long time." He gave a small two-fingered wave to Sherry then turned to leave, one foot slowly being put in front of the other.

She did give a small smirk. "I'll tell the others."
