pretty much. we came to an agreement about inviting trouble, so.

( so laura's been making a lot of promises about not getting into trouble for someone who isn't sure that she can keep them. )

are you going to sign a contract with logan?

[themisfit]

Most likely. Consideration is on hold until I'm through being irritated and sulky in his general direction. For all of the good that does.

Assuming I'm welcomed by all parties involved, of course.

[skulked]

i don't think he's likely to keep people around him that wouldn't be cool with you being around.
what shit is he pulling now?

[themisfit]

It's nothing, really. Stubbornness. Lack of even a little self-preservation.

Dick seems like he's going to try something stupid, and I don't know what the ultimate consequence of that will be, if it amounts to anything at all. I told him so much, so... I'd like to be tolerated by all parties involved, at least.

Not that any of this is particularly important. The conversation in question also made me worry for you. Greatly.

How are you, here and now?

[skulked]

that doesn't surprise me. you should have seen him after logan died. i don't think he would have been satisfied until he drowned right alongside him. but i doubt you'll alienate him forever. (and if you do...we've all had to get pretty good at living with someone we don't get along with at some point in our lives. you'll manage)

you don't need to worry about me. i'm not going to do anything stupid. ( again... ) i'm handling it.
why?

[themisfit]

If Logan's doing poorly enough that it demands dramatic self-sacrifice, I worry that the same applies to you.

[skulked]

the situation isn't ideal. i don't think i've ever had a bruise last this long in my life. but i'm managing.

how much trouble is he getting himself into here exactly?

[themisfit]

Not so much trouble as deterioration, I think. When I last saw him, he was creaky but functional. Like someone with a prolonged illness settling in.

It may seem worse than it is to someone who's never seen it before.

[skulked]

he's getting sick.

( it's the sort of thing she should know already, but of course she doesn't. not when she's done everything in her power to stay as far away from him as this camp will allow. it had seemed like the easiest way to get them both through this, but now laura isn't so sure. )

how bad?

[themisfit]

I'm not sure. I'd like to think he'd have gotten into contact should he be at death's door, but perhaps that's a fool's dream.

I can call on him.

[skulked]

you should. just make sure he's not a total wreck. i'm busy.

[themisfit]

I'll let you know. Stay well in the meantime. Don't push yourself into anything unnecessary.

[skulked]

you know me. i never push.

[themisfit]

I can't tell if this is genuine or a morbid joke.

Either way. You know your own limits best. Care for yourself and call me if you need anything.
