@weapnise             [ there’s a pause,    grin pulling at her lips as she reels in the punchline  ]    /civil/ware      

@fengaire ㅤㅤ   ﹒﹒　　⁾　       oh this'll be good..    i dunno!   what /did/ they used to eat off of,  ellie?

what did the confederate soldiers use to eat off of?

@weapnise     yeah, like hold on—— [her fry is dropped standing to her feet and getting into position. hands behind her, leaning back]    like this and then i’d go..    “pew pew pew,   gratata gratata gratata”      ——nailed it

@historogy     ⁾⁾  ㅤִ         aim without your hands ..?  are you high?   genuinely.

@weapnise [owen has to look away.  away from that face he knew since he was a small human, and face the horizon——anything to remind him of why he was here. what his real purpose was.    he was here to fulfill a mission,  to set the course for a future of new wolves..  not this——not..           whatever it was he was feeling in the moment ]     it won’t be the last [he lies,       or at least he thinks he does.     he couldn’t tell from here——the present.   it was a push and pull with him.   one moment, he was a father——the best of them if one was that desperate  and the next..    he was a liar,  a manipulator..  a weapon]    if you can prove you’ll get better 

@likeholy      ⁾⁾  ㅤִ          [leon doesn’t know how to hold it.   the words land heavy,   like snowfall on a structure that's already leaning — quiet,  beautiful,  and threatening all at once.   something in him shifts,  uneasy.   this shouldn't matter.   shouldn't  hurt.   but it does.   the ice in his stomach curls inward,  aching with something he doesn't have the name for.   his breath hitches,  barely.   he doesn't look at owen.  can't.   instead,   his voice comes out quieter than intended,  like it might shatter if he speaks too loud.]        that's the first time you've ever said that.      (   ..    )       thanks..

@weapnise [for a moment, only for a moment——his humanity fights.  his blue eyes are soft,  no longer the cold, calculating eyes bestowed upon this land.. upon him.    it feels like a block of ice has been place in his stomach,     always melting, yet never melting away——  a loop. scared to understand what this   all meant for him,   and he’s forced to retreat]      i’m proud of what you’ve become——what this means for the future. 

@weapnise  you’re not listening.    i’m not saying this for me,    \ leon \.    you keep searching for a father in me like this,   you’ll find nothing but disappointment.     i am not the man you want me to be.    

@likeholy     ⁾⁾  ㅤִ         you're a coward,  hiding behind them like they actually give a fuck about you.   whether you like it or not,   we're family.   whatever they're telling you is bullshit,  and it's pathetic that you even listen to them.

@weapnise    you can’t even tell a lie from the truth,  yourself.     but there is one that you should start learning:     i am not your father.  \ you \   are not my son.   just an experiment.  a successful mission 

@likeholy    /   GULP..

@raisedweapon       im sorry,  alright?   im not even meaning to..   come in with a mood.  nothing happened—    don’t worry about it.

@cantpuck   ;      well,  you're walking in here with a bit of a mood going on,  so excuse me for assuming.    did something happen or ..?

@raisedweapon        ..i don’t have an issue.   i just—   cannot put up with the usual shit today.

@raisedweapon        i guess im confused about..   you?    being here,  i mean.  i don’t really understand it.

@tempurge   ;      confused?  what exactly are you confused about ..?

@raisedweapon       im..  fine.   just,  confused i think?

@raisedweapon     /      it’s not your job to check on me either,  kian..     i’m not—   moping,  i’m just having a quiet day.   nothing for you to stress about.     but thanks. 

@urepent             i was .. i don't know, worried, i guess?   you're moping around more than usual,  figured something was up.     besides,  you don't have to check on me.  it's not your job to.

@raisedweapon    /       sure..    it’s just a bit weird.    not sure if i like it.      feels like i should be the one checking on you.
