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.*

... I don't know if I can really say anything right now. But, um... if it's alright, can we postpone our date for a bit? I don't think I'm going to be in the mood for it just yet.

I'm not here to collect the time you owe me, Raphael. I wouldn't ask you to do that while you're grieving.

[healthyinstincts]

[snorts]

It's not grieving. No one died.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Death isn't the only thing people grieve over.

[healthyinstincts]

Hn.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

My original point remains. I'm not here because I expect anything from you.

[healthyinstincts]

[snaps]

Then what do you want?

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

*sighs*

I think you miss the point of my saying I don't expect anything. I'm here because I was concerned.

[healthyinstincts]

I'm fine.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

No, you're not. You don't snap at me that way anymore unless you're upset.

[healthyinstincts]

Then I'm upset!

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Do you want to take your anger out on me, Raphael? I can handle it, if you do.

[healthyinstincts]

No. Don't offer me something like that.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[healthyinstincts]

Because it's not good for me, or you. And "taking my anger out" on anything isn't going to make me feel better.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I'm accustomed to anger, and suppressing it doesn't help, either. But if that's how you feel, then don't snap at me for wanting to support you while you're upset.

[healthyinstincts]

It's not being suppressed. And excuse me for not wanting to beat you to a pulp just because I'm in a bad mood.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Those statements seem to contradict each other. But I wasn't asking you to fight, nor am I saying you're wrong not to accept my offer.

[healthyinstincts]

Hn.

*squeezes his shoulder*

I meant that you could yell at me if you needed to, but I apologize if you felt it was inappropriate.

[healthyinstincts]

I don't want to yell.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

What do you want?

[healthyinstincts]

I want her back.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

It's possible that you'll see her again, isn't it?

[healthyinstincts]

I don't know. I want to hope that... at least Mika can find her again. But I don't know... if I'll be that lucky.
