Xavier, either you move this pile of books from where they are, or they will tragically find themselves knocked into the fire.

[shut up, brain]

Noric? Where are you?

[it takes a moment in between yells, but you can hear footsteps through the woods, coming from the left.]

[lets out a sigh of relief]

Noric, there you are. You had me wo--wondering where you were.

[emerges from the trees, blinking at him.]

I needed to get out of the house.

Ah. [swallows] Well. It's not a good idea to be out after dark. So please don't do that again.

[looks at him for a long moment, slightly bewildered.]

...I'll try.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Well, good. I should hope so. [turning around, and walking home, totally not glancing over his shoulder]

...sorry. I've been nothing but difficult today, haven't I.

It's fine.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

It's not.

[he's quiet for a few minutes]

You haven't run away screaming. That's enough for me.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

[huffs slightly.]

Until about a month ago, I wasn't capable of running anywhere.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

That's true.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Well... I suppose I'm grateful for your low standards, then.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[awkwardly, so]

You're all right now?

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

I'm... better.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

That's good.

Re: [Year 186, fall, Lepus]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

I let it get away with me.

[shakes his head]

I told you. It's fine.
