[She shoves him in the shoulder, finding it hard to be tender, just wanting him to snap out of it and confirm that it's him and not the drone.] Wake up!

[He falls backward into the grass, even though her shove wasn't quite enough to do it. Stares at her with wide eyes.]

[breathing]

... too awake.

[the following sound is either a chuckle or a cough.

No.

[her eyes narrow.] Welcome back to the nightmare.

[Another cough-chuckle]

yeah.

[He seems to compose himself enough to NOT freak out at sudden movements...]

you okay?

deflowers April 27 2010, 04:56:14 UTC

No. [she can't help but be brutally honest. she offers him a hand.] It's always shit here, all the time.

...But you're back.

grey_of_heart April 27 2010, 17:36:59 UTC

Yeah.

[He takes it, and without warning gives her a hug.]

[it takes her by surprise, but she does not push him away; after a moment her hands rise to hug him back] I'm so pissed off at you... idiot. [but her voice is soft.]

[He's changed, brittle. Weeping? Yeah.]

don't care.

deflowers April 28 2010, 19:35:35 UTC

[she draws a shaky breath.] Good. You're gonna need that here.

grey_of_heart April 29 2010, 14:05:20 UTC

I know. I remember that much.

[He withdraws. Looks lost, as much as anything else.]

[Opens his mouth as if he's going to say something, closes it, opens it again.]

I don't want to go back.
