It... really bothers you that much?

Re: Elliot

[kepthishead]

Yes. This is where I am forced to live and I don't like it.

[skirtindanger]

Well, I think we could all understand being frustrated about having no choice but to stick around.

[kepthishead]

And unless the rumours are true and we can go somewhere else, this is all I will ever get.

[skirtindanger]

... [tilts her head a little]

That's not true. If we can somehow get past the barrier, you'll be able to go back home, too.

[kepthishead]

I'm dead. Unless I want to return to being dead, which I don't, it's not an option.

[skirtindanger]

[and here she just stops completely, staring, with only one eloquently put thing to say:]

You're... ... dead?

[kepthishead]

Yes.

[skirtindanger]

But...

[a pause. she looks mildly confused, as she's never heard of anything like that around camp before; though, she mostly looks guilty.]

-- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything.

[kepthishead]

I wish people would stop apologising for my death. It's what I chose and it was the best option at the time. That doesn't mean that I want to stay dead.

[skirtindanger]

[shakes head]

No, I'm sure anyone else would think so too. I don't mean to say you made any wrong choices, I'm just... surprised.

[kepthishead]

I don't advertise it. I got sick of people who knew treating me as a tragedy.

[skirtindanger]

Then, I'll assure you that I won't.

[kepthishead]

I appreciate that.

[skirtindanger]

I won't lie and say I don't think it's unfortunate, but as you said... If it was the best choice at the time, then I understand.

[kepthishead]

I don't mind if you consider it unfortunate as long as it isn't the only thing that defines me.
