So much sensitivity after that last curse. So many people who simply refuse to let goI have to wonder, really, if those who fought back were cursed. Especially those who fought back under the guise of protection. Perhaps the blame lays in more places than one would assume. Perhaps both sides have done wrong

People died, Saya. What the fuck? You wouldn't be saying that if Scholar'd been in danger.

[repairedbywebs]

Perhaps. People still refuse to bestow forgiveness.

[reaping_havoc]

They're pissed. Their friends were toasted like so many fleshy marshmallows.

[repairedbywebs]

But the City, George, the pattern~

So many claim it was the curse, and so many beg for forgiveness, and people complain.

They're only friends, George. Make new ones.

If only there was some way to tell who was serious and who was cursed. But that's only going to stop when the shitty curses stop, and that's not up to us.

I like the ones I have. I like Arion and Robin and Walter and Scholar. I like you.

[repairedbywebs]

I can't imagine why you would like me.

[reaping_havoc]

There's something...mysterious and surprisingly reassuring about you. Dark and lovely and dangerous and all the shit I'm not.

[repairedbywebs]

How kind. I'm sure it's a rare thing, your compliment.

You did not have to move out of Sydney, you know.

[reaping_havoc]

Savor it.

I know. But I'm not really a beach person. I'll come back to visit a lot, it's not like I've moved out of the City. Still within walking distance away. Or a really short drive. That reminds me, I still need to name the car.

My relationship with my brother is an odd thing.

Don't make him miss you, it will break his heart.

[reaping_havoc]

I was making you jealous. Things were awkward. You didn't deserve that.

I'll visit him so much that by the end of next month he'll be sick of me.

[repairedbywebs]

Jealous?

I wouldn't say you were making me jealous.

[reaping_havoc]

You seemed pretty pissed. Like I was siphoning attention.

[repairedbywebs]

That's not why I was angry. And honestly, it has never been at you. My brother needs companionship, and I am not always the best person to provide it.

[reaping_havoc]

..yeah.

Sharks are supposed to run in...what, packs? Fleets? Groups? Fuck if I know the right word.

Private; unhackable

Most sharks swim alone.

It is not the shark part of him that yearns for companionship.
