one.
He remembered the first time he'd gone swimming -- age seven, Bro had taken him to a pier. The water was deep, and rough that day. But no one was around, something that Dave remembered for a long time afterward. They almost seemed to respect the fact that the two brothers stood side by side, staring down at the brownish water below.
"You ready?"
Dave looked up at his brother, wondering what the fuck had convinced him into thinking that letting his little bro die a death by ocean was ever a good idea. He was uncertain, hands digging into the corners of his pockets. "Don't worry. I'm not about to let you drown."
Dave nodded, taking a breath. "Okay. Let's do this."
And on the count of three, the boys raced down the pier, vaulting over the safety rail and falling into the water below.
two.On the station, the water was home ( ... )

It has to be a dream.
Of course it's a dream -- not necessarily a deep sleep, but some sort of waking dream due to five days without real rest. Jade hadn't stood on the roof of the apartment in what felt like days (but really, she guessed it was less than that, who knew), but she's there now. It's the perfect blend of hot and humid, the kind of weather Houston seemed to collect in the summer. It hadn't been this hot in months -- Jade can feel the sweat trickling down the back of her neck, and she tugs at her scarf, stepping out from the staircase to join her brother directly underneath the sun.
"Sup?"
She looks up at him, but he isn't paying attention -- whatever was going on in this dream, this whatever, didn't involve her at the moment. "Hello, earth to Bro! Wake up dude, I'm right here. Who are you even looking at? Some sort of hot chick on the next roof over?" Finally -- after what seems like a lifetime, though she knew it was only a few seconds ( ... )

one.
When he heard the question, he had to ask her to repeat herself. Sitting side by side on the couch, Jade had curled up on Dave's lap, facing upward so that she could talk to him better. He looked down at the girl incredulously, unable to process what she had just asked.
"I said, what was it like, changing into a sprite? Did it hurt?" He frowned and looked away. Dave didn't remember much -- at the time, it was just something that had needed to be done. But pain? As a sprite, he couldn't feel it. But he remembered the sensation, bones replaced by data, mind replaced by the inner workings of some complex computer program and the remains of a speared bird.
( It was fire, burning through his eyelids and racing down his throat, fire that erased him. And it hurt more than anything in the world. )"Nah. Don't remember much. Pretty sure it was just boring, and kind of sucked. So fast, you had no idea what was happening." ( ... )
