[he's been quiet lately due to some recent events and all... and hey, he's keeping that up. Robin can be found in the Orrery, preoccupied with gazing at the giant model of the universe spinning above him. the Stewards have done a pretty good job of fixing most of it. you almost couldn't tell anything had happened.

...bothers him a little. come bother him out of his thoughts, if you want!]

So you don't really want to talk about it, then.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

No. [he smiles.] Maybe when I reach a conclusion.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[She'll lean against him a little.]

When do you think that'll be?

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. Soon, I hope.

[he gives her a pat on the head.] Don't start worrying or anything.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Aw, she'll latch onto his arm and grin.]

I won't. I trust you. If there's something you need to talk about you know you can come to me.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[his smile fades off as the weight of that occurs to him. he... doesn't want to say anything. at all. ever. but if he doesn't do it now, while things are still manageable, it'll probably never happen. and then, well--he'll destroy her. that's just how it works. how it always works. his tone gets serious.]

Actually... I need to talk to you about something.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

-? [Oh, huh.]

What is it?

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

I just... [...he doesn't know where to start. damn it.]

You remember me saying... that I can't be what you want, right?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

This again? Come on, you've come a long way! Give yourself a little credit.

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head.] No. I'm worried.

I'm not like... those silly books that you read.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[She's leaning against him again.]

I know you're not perfect. I don't care, I still love being around you. You're important to me.

[...he can't do it. that sounds too much like... it could work. he clings onto it, giving her shoulders a little squeeze likewise.]

Just don't forget, okay?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah.... [Geez, what is this seriousness. He needs more confidence.]

Want to go do something? I'm a little hungry....

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

[...he gives her a small smile.]

Yeah, sure. Town again?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

Yeah!! We can go get meatbuns.~ [MEATBUNS *A*!!]

[birdmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Hah--sounds good to me.
