"You're you. That's all that matters."
"You're you. That's all that matters."

Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2017 10:57 pm"Because now I'm some sort of bizarre experiment? An attempt to recreate someone else?"

"But if you want to pursue this... I'm with you. All the way."

Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 12:54 am"I didn't mean to push just... it's the sort of thing I notice, aye?"
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 2:42 am"I'm just... having a hard time with some things right now." She raises her head and Sam can get the glint of yellow in her irises.

Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues

"But I don't think that side of you is bad, either."

Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 5:13 am"Well, you're very... protective," she says, putting it tactfully.
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 2:49 pm"Not the word I would have used, but I appreciate you trying to spare my feelings."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 5:58 pm"Things... got a bit crazy, there. I don't know how he snuck up on me."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 6:03 pm"And then he hurt you," Tereza says, that golden glint back in her irises as she reaches out to touch Sam's neck.
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 7:40 pmShe winces, her neck still a bit tender.
"I'm going to get hurt sometimes, if I'm on the teams."

Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 7:44 pm"I know that... doesn't mean I like it." Tereza gives a soft growl before shaking her head, clearing the gold from her eyes. "He can just count himself lucky for the moment, I guess."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 7:48 pm"I'm not... I'm not telling you it's wrong to feel the way you do. I wouldn't do that to you."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 7:52 pm"But?" Tereza pulls away, returning her hand to its previous resting position on her other arm.
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:03 pm"I think... we've both been a bit crazy lately."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:06 pmTereza makes a resigned noise, resting her head on arms again. "You may be right."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:15 pm"And it's not like I haven't been a part of this. It's... a fun crazy, sometimes."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:18 pm"I just get so tired of fighting her."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:21 pm"I still think she's a part of you. She's a part of you with teeth and claws. I never really thought she was tame, Tereza."
"But I knew you weren't all bunnies and rainbows when I met you. I don't expect you to be."

Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:33 pm"I've eaten conies before," she smirks wearily, poking Tereza in the side.
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 8:50 pm"Not like she wants to eat them I'll wager," Tereza says.

Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 9:01 pm"Do you honestly think I'm going to fault you on table manners?"
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 10:35 pm"Rabbit sushi is not on the list of approved food items I would wager."
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:10 pm"It's beside the point. I think..."
"...I think there was always going to be a little madness between us."

Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:34 pm"How do we deal with it?"
Re: Sevastopol Homesick Blues
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:38 pm"You've... been rather good about putting up with my madness."
"So it seems unfair for me not to do the same, aye? It's not like ignoring it means it goes away."
"And I... I think my madness likes your madness."
"Is that... weird?"
