0018 (Redux) ◘ Neglecting ◘ [Audio]

[ofasandgoddess]

[Well. Someone sounds bored.

Okay. Maybe not bored. She might be a little depressed.]

So that's how it goes then.
Maybe I should, too.

[badasscopters]

... Is it what I'm thinkin' it is?

[ofasandgoddess]

Depends on what you're thinking, Goose.

But yes. Probably. Most likely.

[badasscopters]

It's the boss, ain't it?

[As in, Ganondorf.

Not gonna lie, he's... not even sure if he should be happy he's gone. As weird as shit as he was, it feels so different without him. It's an odd feeling.]

[ofasandgoddess]

You got it in one.

Well, part of it.
I don't suppose you're leaving next.

[badasscopters]

... Whaaaaaat?

Hell no. You think I'd leave everything I've got right here?

You'd have to pull me away kickin' and screamin' and hollerin' and... all those other "in'"s.

[ofasandgoddess]

Hm. I see.

[There's a pause.]

Think they left because of me? Maybe they got tired of my crap.

[badasscopters]

I dunno about that. What 'crap' is there?

[He pauses and averts his eyes to the floor.]

And, uh... who else left?

[ofasandgoddess]

My crap. The same crap I always pull. The fighting, the mocking, the teasing. Probably left because I don't know how to treat people.

[Okay. Maybe Nabs is really depressed. How uncharacteristic.]

Shinon is gone now, too.

[That one hurts more. A lot more.]

[badasscopters]

Wait, wait.

[Okay, he got that Shinon left, but he was kind of switching to reverse on that last statement first.]

Wait a minute. Fighting and mocking and shit?

... if you think you do it plenty, you ain't even seen me at my best.

[ofasandgoddess]

Not everyone can take it. This isn't a competition of who's better at being 'bad'.

[badasscopters]

[LE SHRUG.]

Either way, they ain't seeming like the type to just scatter off for that. I mean, shit. You ain't bad at all.

[As far as he's seen, at least.]

[ofasandgoddess]

Maybe.

[It doesn't change the idea that it hurts. She didn't get to say goodbye to either of them.

And after what happened with Shinon, she should have. But that's really her fault and not his.]

[badasscopters]

Yeah.

So... hey. Take it easy. I know it's sucky as shit, but hey. Maybe they'll even come back one day.

[That's his rough-'n-tough, roundabout way of saying, "I hope you feel better."]

[ofasandgoddess]

I'll try.

[And one more pause for good measure.]

Sorry.

[For letting him see her like this.]

[badasscopters]

Tch. Nothing to be sorry for.

[He tries to crack an awkward smile, like a kind of... hey, it's cool, we cool, I'm your pal kind of smile.

It makes him look really fucking stupid.]

[ofasandgoddess]

A Gerudo shouldn't...

[No, no. Don't cry, Nabs. MAN UP. MAN THE FUCK UP.]

Nothing. Never mind. It's fine. Thanks.

[...Shew.]
