IC Burninating the countryside

*Close to the edge of the barrier, far from the center of camp, a cornfield has just caught fire. The cause? A certain mopey archangel of fire who is currently hanging out on a nearby tree branch.*

*Pretty fire is pretty.*

[and making popcorn, apparently. raises his eyebrow a little, but still stays quiet.]

[dickpunchingarsonist]

*Let's make it a littttle bigger*

[healthyinstincts]

[murmurs]

Careful.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

*Snorts and makes it bigger :|*

*pulls his knee up against his chest*

[stubs out his cigarette and flies up to the tree branch to sit down next to Mika]

[dickpunchingarsonist]

*Looks in the other direction*

[healthyinstincts]

[wraps his arm around Mika's shoulders]

Hey.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

*Toooorn....on one hand wants to be alone, on the other hand, comfort would be good. Shove away or lean....*

[healthyinstincts]

[presses his cheek to the side of Mika's head, nuzzling]

[dickpunchingarsonist]

*....leans*

I hate her, I hate this place, I want to go home.

[healthyinstincts]

[quietly]

You don't hate her.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

She's no better than Bal. She wanted to leave.

[healthyinstincts]

She didn't want to abandon you, Mika. She didn't want to do it to any of us. She has a life she needs to go back to-- it doesn't mean she didn't love you.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

They're all going to leave, you know. All of them.

[healthyinstincts]

[tightens his arm]

I know. That doesn't mean... what they are to you, to both of us-- is worthless. We won't stop caring about them... even if we want to.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

I don't want to make any new attachments.

[healthyinstincts]

I didn't say you have to.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

It'd be best to get rid of the old ones too.

[healthyinstincts]

No, it wouldn't. There's no way to avoid this pain, Mika. You need to learn how to take it.

[dickpunchingarsonist]

I don't need to do anything.

[healthyinstincts]

Is your life worth living without the people you care about?

[dickpunchingarsonist]

...no.
