lobsterbox | Poly crosspost -> Post #52, video/action

[ action ]
[ Tyr's wandering around the square now and taking advantage of the lack of curses to look at the different stores. It's more or less just a leisurely walk, though. Eventually, he stops around building ten and posts to the network. ]

[ video ]
It was like this before a while ago, wasn't it? More than a week without any curses. [ He doesn't sound all that certain about it. ] It makes me wonder if the deities are saving their energy for something big to happen later...

...If they are, then I... [ He starts, but then thinks better of it. ] Nevermind.

[ And he turns the device off. ]

[ ooc: Livejournal post! Responding on either site is okay.

Please don't friend this journal. I might use a different one if Poly stays journal-based! ]

[ He shakes his head once. Not because he believes his face is red or anything! ]

You're still a pudgy jerk.

From:

blackshadow

I'm not that pudgy.

From:

moregirls

[ Something of a snort. ] Yeah, okay.

Anyway, there's something else I want to talk to you about than how fat you are.

From:

blackshadow

[ Rude. ]

What is it?

From:

moregirls

Well, I was thinking... I want you to tell me stuff more.

From:

blackshadow

[ Tyr blinks, his expression going blank. ] Because I didn't mention Katara?

From:

moregirls

No! Well, maybe it came to me because of that, but it's something I thought about before.

From:

blackshadow

...

I don't mind talking to you, but... Are you sure? I don't really have a lot to say...

From:

moregirls

It's when there is something you want to talk about, or, y'know, when there's stuff on your mind and you're keeping it to yourself because you think you have to.

[ Sheena moves the direction of his cup, both hands onn it as he tries to find the best way to say what he wants. ] You've always been like that, but I want to know about it too.

[ He gives a shrug, as if trying to make it seem nonchalant, and picks up his cup. ] I should be allowed to know. That's what I think.

[ And he takes a drink. ]

From:

blackshadow

[ Tyr's silent for a few seconds after he finishes speaking. It isn't like he never realised he kept things back; it was a conscious effort for a while, and then it became a habit. He kicks his legs under the chair a little as he thinks of a response. ]

You're allowed to know... I just don't always think of it...

I really hoped Katara would come back a few weeks ago... That's why I never mentioned it.

From:

moregirls

[ He puts his cup down, pausing before he gives a response- ] It's just- I don't know if you think you can't speak to me or if you think I don't care. And maybe I've been thinking about it too hard. Probably. We've been pals since the war.

... I guess I just wanted to say it.

From:

blackshadow

[ Tyr just kind of looks down. ] It's not that I don't trust you... I just don't usually tell anyone.

[ Looking back up at him, he casually says: ] You've been thinking of it too hard.

From:

moregirls

... Yeah. [ He sighs, bringing his arm onto the table to lean his head in his hand. Like that, he ends up looking in towards the shop. ] Guess so.

From:

blackshadow

[ Patting Sheena's back! ] Don't worry about it. I promise I won't leave you leave you in the dark anymore.

From:

moregirls

Thanks, mom. [ whateverwhatever not like Sheena cares! ]

From:

blackshadow

[ Tyr gives a short laugh at that and goes back to his drink. ]

From:

moregirls

[ Sheena's at least a little happy though that he got that off his chest, even though it doesn't really make any difference - or obvious difference - right now. Well, it could have been as he said and just his imagination, but...

It was true that he wanted to know more of what Tyr was thinking.

... though he'll drink a bit more of his drink before it gets any less warm. ]

From:

blackshadow

[ Tyr doesn't want to open up just after Sheena said it, though - especially not in a café. When the time felt right and he had to open up, he would. He really did trust Sheena; even if he usually didn't look at him as someone to confide in, Tyr knew he could.

After a few more moments of silence, he asked: ] What else do you have planned today?

From:

moregirls

[ At the question, Sheena's eyes went from Tyr's direction to back towards the wall he had been looking close to the serving counter. ]

Maybe a walk. I don't like getting stuck inside and it's still early. How about you?
