Another year...

[immortalmacleod]

Tomorrow's my birthday. Normally, I'd stay at home, have some wine. Listen to some music.

This year, I'm too pissed off at whoever's pretending to be Wes Janson, claiming that my kinsman is alive.

You want me to prove it? Meet me for drinks or something. If you're right then it will be easier to kick my ass, and if you're wrong then you get a nice birthday present.

[immortalmacleod]

Fine.

Where? When?

[lt_wes_janson]

Your choice. I'm easy. Plus, your birthday.

[immortalmacleod]

Come to my place. Undiscovered, in Boston. Ring and I'll let you in. I'll also have weapons there along with wine in case you're lying.

Although I saw someone "posting" as Aidan today.

[lt_wes_janson]

Leave him alone, Duncan. He's not ready to deal with people's skepticism and anger. That's my job.

[immortalmacleod]

You're here to defend him? I have to admit, that sounds like the Wes I know.

[lt_wes_janson]

I'm here to make sure he doesn't end up getting hurt because nobody believes in him. Which, is understandable given what happened, but that doesn't mean I want him dealing with it. I've already done it, so it's just one more day for me.

Why would he get hurt, if it's really him?

I had at least three people threaten to kick my ass and my own brother tried to kill me.

Why? If what you say is true, if it's really both of you, then I don't care how it happened.

Why would someone want you dead?

Re: locked

[lt_wes_janson]

Same reason as you are all pissed off. They didn't believe it was me. I don't blame them, but I don't want Aidan dealing with it if he doesn't need to. I figure if I can prove it's me then you'll believe it's him and he won't have to go through it.

I don't want him any more upset than he already is about it all.

Do you know how hard it is, after all that's happened, to just accept it? I'm not that optimistic anymore.

Re: locked

[lt_wes_janson]

Yes, I do. I didn't exactly just jump him when he showed up on my door either, and I'm one person who's been where he is, kind of.

I just wanted the chance to prove it before you freaked out on him.

Everyone I know and care about ends up dead because of me.

Re: locked

[lt_wes_janson]

How exactly did he end up dead because of you, Duncan?

[immortalmacleod]

Because he put his trust into me as his kinsman. I never trained him or took care of him the way I did with Richie or, hell, anyone.

I should've known better.
