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

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?

Because...

[She's quiet]

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

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]

[action]

[eiremagic]

Eoin, I'm sorry.

[She's quiet]

I really don' want yeh to leave me.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet for a while too, before turning to look at her]

I'm still here, aren't I?

[action]

[eiremagic]

....So how does this end?

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

I don't know. A lot's changed, and-

[He stops, looking to the wall this time]

...if you're willing to, I want to try this again.

[action]

[eiremagic]

[She pauses, and she nods]

Yeah, okay.

I'd like to try it again.

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

[He's a little uncomfortable saying it, but he makes sure to get it all out]

I'm sorry for everything that happened before.

[action]

[eiremagic]

[She smiles, just a little]

Sit down, will yeh?

[action]

[retargeted.livejournal.com]

[He makes to move, only he stops and sits back on the ledge again]

I already am.

[...that's an amused look being badly hidden there]

[eiremagic]

[This is a shoe getting thrown at you, John. It's not aimed well, though]

Eoin!
