You don't have to apologize.

I sort of guessed he wasn't one after talking to him for a bit. But um... How are you handling this?

[With the outburst she had at him and how she sounded now well, James pretty concerned.]

[There's a long pause, and then a gusty sigh.]

I don't know, James...

I... I did something kinda stupid, and uh... well, he didn't know who I was. He thinks I'm just some punk kid.

Didn't know who you were?

Well...

[There is a pause while the cogs are starting to turn in James' head.]

Maybe it's a younger him? I mean, the guy doesn't look very old at all, almost too young to be the father of a teenager... Well, unless he was a high school dad or something.

Oh--Also, he keeps going on about that he's looking for his daughter, if that means anything to you. Was there a time in your life you ran away to Silent Hill or something?

[James didn't forget his thinking cap today!]

[James can be a smart cookie when he has to be!]

[Heather paused to rub her temples. They were throbbing agonizingly-- it wasn't as straight-up painful as that hangover had been, but somehow it was still worse. She could still taste salt around the corners of her mouth and it just reminded her of how long it had been since she'd broken down like that. She'd sort of thought she'd grown out of that. Turns out a year wasn't long enough.]

Yeah... yeah. He's younger, he's... from an earlier time. S'why he doesn't know me. S'not his fault.

His question made her pause again-- not out of suspicion, like she had when they'd FIRST tentatively made contact like two spooky horses on opposite sides of a fence doing that wary nose-touch before flipping their shit and bolting shut up, it's a decent analogy-- just a plain old 'I don't even know how to talk about this' pause.]

... Not... exactly, but...

[Okay, as much as she trusts James on the haunted freak-town related subjects, she's not sure she can tell the whole truth about this. Just ( ... )
