Things at home really are seeming routine lately. Which feels wrong to say given what my jobs are like, but I've gotten used to them. Maybe too much. I worry about it.

I worry about too much. I'm also worrying that all this slack time is fate or whatever saving up for something really nasty.

"Could be worse. You could be looking forward to them."

[just_a_murder]

That's true. But there are moments when I feel an unseemly pride in my speed, efficiency, and/or skills.

It shouldn't feel routine to kill people.

How have you been, Ken?

[survivorsguilt]

Ken shrugs. "That speed and efficiency keeps you and your team safe, and dispatches the target without undue suffering on their part."

"It shouldn't feel routine, but it is our routine." Apathy, whee!

He makes a non-committal sound to the last. "Fine."

I suppose that does make me a humane killer. It's good to keep my team safe, though.

I wish you sounded more convincing. I worry.

"Or maybe it's fate trying to make up for all the awful stuff that already happened."

Hugs?

::hugs:: Hi, Ran-chan. I can't quite let myself believe that. Life doesn't seem to work that way.

[orchidsblood]

"Then maybe it should. You deserve to be happy."

[just_a_murder]

We all do.
