What the bloody hell's a girl to do when she's stuck with a splitting fucking headache and, apparently, a family she never fucking asked for?!

You could take a break from it all?

It's a horrible suggestion and I'm an idiot I know.

Not bloody likely...my fucking headache being a case in point. Being out here...I've turned up something I suppose y'could call extended family, and said extended family broke my jaw a few days ago.

Recent events make me wonder if it really is all that horrible. If I came to you, at any rate...and if I'm careful returning.

I'd kill to see you...but given my previous record of work, I suppose that's not saying much, yeah?

[so_shootmedown]

Turned up a family Val, that's not exactly the normal way around things you realize.

Are you okay? You know you can't say something like that to me and not expect me to worry. Our past or not.

Don't you dare. I won't let you do that. Not ever. I miss you, I'm not denying that but I won't let you put yourself up like that.

You've read my file...foster brother and sister, not to mention his soddin' brat child. She's the one who hit me.

I'm fine...Slayer healing and all that, but I've been having tension headaches is all. Ever since she fucking cold-cocked me, the bitch.

You never had a choice before, and you'll get no choice now. I don't know what the bugger I'm doing, but I'm doing it.

I'm suffocating. There's too many expecting too much, and I can't stay here, anyway. Might as well have somewhere to go.

[so_shootmedown]

I remember, just didn't think you'd refer to it like that was all.

Fuck it, I'm saying it. It's too important to hide behind.

I get it, I know how you get. You get restless, you can't stay in one place for too long so don't stay there, but don't come back to this... after everything I did I am not going to have you throw it all in my face Val.

[not_noble]

I will make this very simple. Answer the question...or I'll get the answer myself, and all bets are off.

Where are you right now?

[so_shootmedown]

How is that a simple question? Also you already know that by now all bets are off when it comes to us. Unpredictable seems to be our default setting.

I'm in Boston.

[not_noble]

Right, then.

I'd buy a new set of locks if I were you...you'll need to change them shortly.
