[There's the sound of a crash, and a crunch, and then buttonmashing]

Matt! I think this bloody thing broke! I'm tryin' to record me bleedin' message and...

Oh, I think...oh shite.

Uh. Hey. This is Eden. Leave one. If yeh want.

Matt how do I get this bloody thing to shut off?

Neither do a lot of people here. You'd be able to find someone to share with, if you wanted.

[action]

[eiremagic]

I don' want to remember him all the time.

[At least in her apartment with Rictor, it's just hers]

I'm already odd enough.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

[He sits against the window ledge, watching her carefully.]

Then don't you think it's time to start going through some of this?

[action]

[eiremagic]

I think we're not here to talk about this.

[She's stubborn. And these are Matt's computers, they're valuable]

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Maybe not. But it's still important.

[And for once it wasn't about putting off the point of the conversation]

[action]

[eiremagic]

I haven' decided what to do with it. They're computers. I don' know what they're worth.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

[well, it's a step in the right direction at least]

I can go through them all with you, if you need me to.

[ooc: and now i must disappear to bed before family wakes up! D= i'll hopefully be back tomorrow <333]

[action]

[eiremagic]

[She pauses, quietly]

Yeh can't go through his files.

[ooc: &hearts!]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

I can move them all over on to one drive without having to look at them. Don't worry.

[And it was another reason why he wouldn't do it without her there to watch]

[action]

[eiremagic]

[She nods, a little]

Okay.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

[He looks sidelong out the window, silent for a while]

...why'd you say it?

[action]

[eiremagic]

[Pause]

Why'd I say what?

[There's a lot of things she's said.]

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

Your message. Last week.

[He isn't looking back at her yet]

[action]

[eiremagic]

Because...

[She's quiet]

Because I haven' managed to get a grip, Eoin.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

And you just keep making it harder for yourself. What I don't know is if you're doing it on purpose or not.

[Especially after what she'd told him]

[action]

[eiremagic]

I don' want to make shite harder.

[Just a little frustrated, here]

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

For you or for everyone else?

[action]

[eiremagic]

For everyone else.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

Why does it matter what everyone else thinks if it's screwing you over in the process?

[It's an honest question]

[action]

[eiremagic]

I don't know.

It seems easier for everyone if I just...

[Disappear, she wants to say, but she doesn't]

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't need to say it. The implication is clear enough]

What makes you so sure?

[action]

[eiremagic]

Because I need everyone.

I need them all the time.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

And it's their choice to be there or not. You don't get to control that.

[action]

[eiremagic]

I can'.

[She curls up, back]

Everyone's left. When I needed them most. And all I can do is get violent about it.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

But you survived. Which is a lot more than some people manage.

[He's speaking from experience]
