[WELP INDEED]

[Flare was staring at the wall, eyes dazed and unfocused, breathing quick and shallow.]

[People were going to die, people are going to die, they had to decide who'd die if they lost.]

[Oh god]

[His head snapped up when she spoke. Almost looking confused before the words registered.]

Montage-

[What does he even want to say? One part thinks he should volunteer. He should volunteer because he's a superhero and that's what heroes do, right? He certainly doesn't want to watch Montage die, but the thought of it....the thought of maybe failing, of dying]

[His body shakes and he can't bear to look at her.]

[He's afraid, terrified, he doesn't have that bravery he remembers. That's why it was so weird, because he's not brave or self sacrificing and even for someone he wants to protect, he can't-he can't-]

[He wraps his arms around himself and when he speaks, it's quiet, painful, but he can't get himself to argue.]


Okay.

[He's tense in her arms, stiff...then he leans against her. He doesn't move his arms from himself, but he at least accepts the touch.]

Is there anyone to avoid people dying?

[Because he's not seeing any loopholes.]

thehirohewanted: (I just...well....)
From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
But people will still die.

....

Are we...going to do that?

[It's his first game, he doesn't know what she can take. He doesn't know what HE can take.]

thehirohewanted: (Lost in shadows)
From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
[He nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, I...I guess so.

[One hand moves to grip the edge of her shirt.]

So it...has to be good to win, right?

It is important? The clothing and jewelry?

...is it possible to get the stuff back, eventually?

thehirohewanted: (I just...well....)
From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
I don't have a lot. Even the hat...I don't even know why it's important.

At least...physical things.

Date: 2015-09-18 10:43 pm (UTC)
thehirohewanted: (But why)
From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
Aren't we both supposed to be offering something?

Date: 2015-09-18 10:50 pm (UTC)
thehirohewanted: (Gulp)
From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
So if you're the...

Then I just offer to supplement and up our chances.

thehirohewanted: (Needs to be protected at all costs)
From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
I do.

Is this...is this a magic thing. Does it just have to be physical, or does anything go as long as it's mine?

Does open up possibilities. 'cause otherwise, it's limbs and- [And he's not that brave.]

Date: 2015-09-18 11:20 pm (UTC)
thehirohewanted: (But why)
From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
[He nods. He...he'll have to. He just needs to calm down. He needs to think, what has value, that he can deal with-]

What about you?

From: [personal profile] thehirohewanted
[Nods.] So something symbolic. Something hard to let go.
