[like most others, he was thinking about the impending black hole. he had never spent much time reading about space and all its wonders. he was well aware that all the planets revolved around the sun, and stars were burning balls of gas. but the power of black holes? he hadn't a clue. they sucked things in, devoured them and then... well, Asher

[redpaperfan]

Undoubtedly, black holes didn't feature high on the lists of most people here.

[marredgoldfinch]

What a surprise.

How are you faring with your death hovering so close?

[redpaperfan]

[ a shrug. ]

Well enough. You?

[marredgoldfinch]

I have come to terms with it.

[just might be petting the leopard, unconsciously]

[redpaperfan]

[ He just might have noticed... though what it means to him? Who knows. He's more 'interested' in the fact Asher's come to terms with his second death. ]

Ah.

[marredgoldfinch]

[gives a shrug]

Wouldn't do to be running around screaming and panicking.

[redpaperfan]

Not in public, no.

[marredgoldfinch]

I'm not really one for the dramatics anyway.

[redpaperfan]

[ This statement amuses Sasuke, just enough that his lips start to turn up at the corners. ]

No. Probably not.

[marredgoldfinch]

Ah, I see you haven't lost your smile in these dire times.

[redpaperfan]

Strange, that. Must have lost my mind instead.

[marredgoldfinch]

A pity. I rather liked your mind.

[redpaperfan]

Me too. Think it'll write me, ever?

[ hey, a bad metaphor is worth toying with, if only because he's distracted. ]

[marredgoldfinch]

The lack of thumbs could make that challenging.

[redpaperfan]

My mind enjoys a good challenge. I'm sure it'll think of something.

[marredgoldfinch]

Perhaps it will develop telekinetic abilities in your absence.
