[Oh. Oh, is that ever relevant. There's more than one way to fall from grace. It takes Yuan a long time to respond.]

...The price was too high at the time.

onlyanapple October 10 2011, 17:32:14 UTC

[Crowley; bumming everyone out since year dot]

And now?

cloakand_danger October 11 2011, 03:22:35 UTC

[He thinks for a long while, then laughs quietly, bitterly.]

I'm too much of a selfish bastard, I suppose. And the past is past.

[Crowley]

That's not an idle question.

onlyanapple October 11 2011, 20:22:13 UTC

Healthy way to look at things.

[Yuan]
Someone's been eating their weetabix today.

Crowley cloakand_danger October 11 2011, 20:58:11 UTC

[There's a pause here, just long enough to make you aware that Yuan has no idea what 'weetabix' is.]

You're only philosophical when you're thinking about something from home. [Or Someone, he feels he doesn't need to add.]

Yuan onlyanapple October 11 2011, 23:29:30 UTC

[Crowley knows, oh he knows]

Or drunk, don't forget drunk.

Crowley cloakand_danger October 12 2011, 01:40:44 UTC

The two of them do seem to coincide as often as not.

You don't seem drunk now, though. ['You are behaving strangely. Don't make me ask you point-blank what's going on.']

Yuan onlyanapple October 12 2011, 02:04:41 UTC

Nope, haven't had a drink in... [there's a pause as he looks at his watch] twenty four hours. Go me.

Had a bit of a crappy few days.

Crowley cloakand_danger October 12 2011, 02:11:28 UTC

I'd guessed that much. It must be serious, if you're not indulging in your usual coping method. [His tone is a little flippant, to hide the sincere concern behind it.]

Yuan onlyanapple October 12 2011, 19:41:35 UTC

Something like that, yeah.

Crowley cloakand_danger October 12 2011, 21:14:41 UTC

[And given the topic he opened with...time to go fishing.]

So...are we discussing time travel here?

Yuan onlyanapple October 12 2011, 22:18:00 UTC

Nothing so complex and fanciful.

Crowley cloakand_danger October 12 2011, 22:19:46 UTC

It's not fanciful if there are two time-travelers living right down the hall.

What's the plan, then?

Yuan onlyanapple October 12 2011, 23:01:49 UTC

Fair enough, I'll give you that.

Right now? Ponder what I want in my eternal life.

Crowley cloakand_danger October 12 2011, 23:10:08 UTC

You say that as if you haven't thought about it before. After six thousand years, I'd think you would already have an idea of where you're going in life.

Yuan onlyanapple October 13 2011, 00:24:30 UTC

I didn't have this opportunity dropped in my lap before. It changes everything.

He invited me back.
