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.*

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.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Is there a reason you feel that way?

[healthyinstincts]

... Mika knows what he wants to do if he ever gets out of Camp. I don't.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I see. That would make things more difficult.

[healthyinstincts]

I'm afraid to make any decision like that... since there's no guarantee I'll even get what I want.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Uncertainty doesn't mean you shouldn't try to plan for what you want. If you have a plan and take action, there is at least a chance you'll succeed. If you do nothing then your options are truly limited.

[healthyinstincts]

... I don't want to get my hopes up. And even if I did... I still don't know what I would do.

*touches his hair*

I used to feel the same, though our vacation time has given me reason to re-evaluate my options.

[leans into that a little]

Would you want to go to Raikou's world, then?

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I think so. I found it pleasant, and it's similar to my world in some ways.

[healthyinstincts]

... I'm wondering if I'd like it too.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

You seemed to enjoy the time you spent there.

[healthyinstincts]

Yeah...

Though you also seemed somewhat overwhelmed at times, but that's to be expected when visiting a new environment.
