thirtieth breath ✧ voice

Alright.

Someone tell me they've seen Richard.

I know you weren't snatched away, man, so you better get back to me or I'm gonna find you myself and strangle you. You can't just run out on me.

You'd better not have been taken away, in any case. You made me a fucking promise.

+hubert, dammit richard, nothing is ever simple, i am not dependent, [voice], i hate everything, +richard, +cheria, *luceti, +asbel, +haruhi

[Richard listens to all of the conversations preceding his before at last setting up a filter and writing two simple things in the journal. Though he doesn't sign his name or give any identifying mark, the unusual handwriting should be a dead giveaway as to who it's from.]

CH 6

Apt. 30

[That's as much of an invitation as you're going to get right now, Isamu.]

[Action] ingrate October 25 2011, 21:11:48 UTC

[And Isamu will just be heading that way rather than answering.

Expect some pounding on the door as soon as he arrives.]

[Action] ledbythewind October 25 2011, 21:20:54 UTC

[Sorry, Isamu, you're going to have to open that door yourself, because he's not about to do it. It's not locked, though.]

[Action] ingrate October 25 2011, 22:26:23 UTC

Oh for fuck's sake...

[Isamu lets himself in, slamming the door behind him once he's inside.]

You'd better actually be in here, man.

[Action] ledbythewind October 25 2011, 22:30:38 UTC

[Don't worry, he heard those other conversations and feels bad that his actions made his friend worry about him. He is in fact in there, just sitting on the windowsill and gazing out with an unreadable expression; there's no doubt that he heard that slam, but he gives no indication that he did. He just seems... tired. Tired and worn and beyond caring about things at the moment.]

[Action] ingrate October 26 2011, 18:44:37 UTC

[Isamu stops in the doorway with his hands on his hips.]

So what exactly is your excuse for all this?

[Action] ledbythewind October 26 2011, 18:50:04 UTC

[Richard isn't even going to look at him, just remaining with his gaze fixed out that window.]

You've seen Sophie's current condition. For her to be suffering like that... it's far too cruel.

[Action] ingrate October 26 2011, 20:24:55 UTC

If you care that much about it, shouldn't you be around to help her?

[Action] ledbythewind October 26 2011, 20:31:54 UTC

... this isn't the first time this has happened to her. The first time, back in our world...

[He trails off. It's something he hates admitting, hates even thinking about.]

... was because I tried to kill her.

[Action] ingrate October 26 2011, 20:36:04 UTC

Because you honestly wanted to, or because you were influenced to?

[Either way, Isamu can sorta relate.]

[Action] ledbythewind October 26 2011, 20:38:58 UTC

While it's true that Lambda was influencing me, if I'd just been stronger, perhaps I...

[Action] ingrate October 27 2011, 00:38:42 UTC

Stop right there.

No saying shit like that.

You don't even know if you could have stopped him. Maybe you couldn't have. Beating yourself up over it isn't going to fix anything.

[Action] ledbythewind October 27 2011, 03:06:29 UTC

That's right. The only thing that is certain is that it happened.

[The hand that he'd been resting on the pane of glass curls into a fist.]

I hurt Sophie.

[Action] ingrate October 27 2011, 07:04:14 UTC

Did you apologize then?

[Action] ledbythewind October 27 2011, 15:48:48 UTC

Not for several months afterward. But the Sophie that is here now comes from shortly after it happened back in our world.

[He doesn't think he needs to explain why that's so awkward.]

[Action] ingrate October 27 2011, 19:24:44 UTC

Did she accept your apology then?

And do you think she's the sort of person who wouldn't accept it here?
