October 24, 2024 at 5:46 PM

October 24, 2024 at 10:02 AM

October 24, 2024 at 3:11 AM

October 24, 2024 at 2:06 AM

dark eyes scanned over her as he watched her usually neutral face begin to crack, spidering out until it shattered, tears falling from crimson hues. something in him broke while watching. he didn't know what to do or how to act. what does he do?

slowly, he shifted where he sat to be beside her, ──
━head lowered, her other hand gripping at her skirt as tears spilled from the farmer's eyes.

how long had it been since she cried? she didn't know. . .but all of that stress that had been piling up. . .there's no way she could keep it all inside any longer.

"h-. . .hnn. . ."
October 23, 2024 at 8:29 PM
.. right, yeah. jus' used t' pressure. usually from sam or jas. sorry.

i know y'have.
October 23, 2024 at 7:58 PM
the hesitation. that's when he knew something truly was wrong. his hand was gentle when it came to holding hers. something about her like this.. she's fragile. she's something that could break if interacted with the wrong way.

he's here to be what is necessary. and if aria sees him as some kind ──
━it was almost as if she had some sort of a brotherly figure in this valley, despite the rough first meeting she had with shane.

". . .uhn. . ."

she wanted to cry, she really wanted to. . .but there's no way she could do that in front of him.

". . .okay, shane. . ."
October 23, 2024 at 7:53 PM
eugh, don't put it like that . . . and so what if i did it for me, huh? so what? 's not like i have anyone else in this town t' do shit like that with.

you'd miss me if *i was gone, so don't act like y'wouldn't.
October 23, 2024 at 7:36 PM
"typical of him."

it's a shame the grip has caught his notice, a hand lifting slightly, palm upward. a silent invitation to lay her hand in his, though the look in his eyes made it clear it was necessary more than anything.

"good. you two needa sort your shit out. and i have some choice words."
━can't show him these.

". . .i. . .i'll try and talk to her. . .but it's hard when she doesn't tell me anything. . .but. . .are you sure about talking to him. . . ? i don't want to trouble you, shane. . . "

( the alcoholic sat across from the silver haired woman, finding himself listening. why, he doesn't know. maybe it's because he overheard the conversation with the woman he can't bring himself to speak to. his attention stays on aria, face dropping a little when he realized what she was saying. ) ──
━just. . .i don't /want/ to give up on him and micchan. . .i really have been trying to talk. . .

( the grip on her arm would tighten as she looked down. )

. . .i'm sorry. . .i must sound like a fool. . .
October 23, 2024 at 7:17 PM
well, y'don't wanna crush that ball of sunshine either, do ya? who said i did it for you? maybe i did it for sam.
October 23, 2024 at 7:11 PM
.. means i could go. hopefully unnoticed. hopefully without you remembering the deal.
October 23, 2024 at 7:05 PM
i uh. 'm not a therapist or nothin' ─── you don't have t' tell me anything but.. y'wanna talk about it?

( he's mumbling, unsure of his words. does he even bother? will she lash out? he shouldn't have asked. but he's stuck now. )
. . . if i'm being honest. . .

not. . .really. . .

( she's gripping at her arm again, turning her head so her bangs fell over her eyes to hide her pale complexion. )
October 23, 2024 at 7:03 PM
. . .
October 23, 2024 at 6:57 PM
ugh, i hate that you remember that deal ... sort of. i guess. i dunno.
October 23, 2024 at 6:57 PM
i'm seeing if my deal with emo boy is forgotten.
October 23, 2024 at 6:55 PM
so is death still out of the question.
October 23, 2024 at 6:54 PM
yeah. somethin' like that, i guess. feels like a truce.
October 23, 2024 at 6:53 PM
eh. you're a little more tolerable than i'm willing to admit. but don't let that go to your head. 💢
October 23, 2024 at 6:48 PM
you're annoying when you're right, you know that?
October 23, 2024 at 6:35 PM

October 23, 2024 at 11:01 AM

October 23, 2024 at 3:28 AM
ugh. don't say you're the "standard". you're just a freak.
i'm the standard for freak? lil' ol' me?
October 23, 2024 at 3:27 AM

( shane isn't. he doesn't know what he even gains from this. )
