Maybe this is good for some. Being honest, I mean.

You... find out things you never would have known. I-Important things.

I think I want to go back to pretending that everything is ok.

...Killer. I need to talk to you.

Everything alright?

[ladys_grace]

Uhm... I was talking to Johnny and he-

He said that you... got hurt. Before. Back when I was still her.

[a_naked_flame]

Got hurt lots, toots. I never had what you'd call a healthy and safe lifestyle.

[ladys_grace]

...

...it sounded like something serious.

[a_naked_flame]

Usually was. You weren't exactly a barrel of laughs all the time and I was always about five seconds from accidentally shoving Gilbert into the nearest ravine. The one with the pointy rocks on the bottom was an excercise in self-control I don't think I could manage again.

But to give you a straight answer doll, whatever it is Johnny's got you fussed about wasn't your fault. I did what I wanted and I'd do it again in a heartbeat for you.

[ladys_grace]

He wouldn't tell me what happened. Just that you got hurt and I was there, and that he-

Uhm. He... noticed something.

[a_naked_flame]

I'll level with you. We died, Gracie. I went first, you not too long after, if that's what he's talking about.

Amazing. He notice that his hair makes him look like a twit yet?

[ladys_grace]

So you- I didn't know that... I'm sorry.

...no.

[Congratulations, you made her laugh. ♥]

[a_naked_flame]

Why you sorry? I'm sure as hell not. I was close to death when you found me anyway. You'd been dead before that. We had a little extra time. And now we have a bit more.

[He's grinning all pleased with himself]

[ladys_grace]

Mmm, I guess you're right. Thanks for telling me, if I keep relying on Johnny I'll never know anything!
