[That sounds even worse, frankly. She doesn't know what happened to make him the only one, but chances are it wasn't good.]

I'm sorry.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ just a humble storyteller)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-12 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
... Thank you.

[that seems like the right thing to say. his usual self would be more inclined towards a, "it was a long time ago," "it's all right," "things happen," but Shirley was being honest with him--and fair's fair. he'd like to be honest back.

still, this is Robin, so his mouth quirks up in a little smirk.]


I suppose it's kind of obvious, now, that this isn't my real form?
hearsthesea: (forgot about them)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-13 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...I didn't think of that, actually.

[Hey, it doesn't seem so unusual when two of the three gods you're familiar with are human-shaped.]
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ nice real estate you got there)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-13 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Really...? Ah...

[maybe he could have kept that secret... jeez. he chuckles, even if it's light.]

It's pretty scary, so you're welcome to go on not thinking about it...
hearsthesea: (can't get depressed and run away)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-13 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not a little girl, you know.

[It's only after she says it that Shirley realizes that her words came out a little harsher than intended - sheltering is the last thing she wants out of people, but of course Robin wouldn't know that. She softens immediately.]

...I'm sorry. That wasn't fair of me. You don't need to show me if you don't want to, but please don't feel like you have to protect me. That's only ever caused problems before.

[--that takes him by surprise. he looks it, for a second, before offering an apologetic smile.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be condescending, I just... I'm used to people far older than you being terrified at the thought.

[he won't show her anyway. he's still shy.]
hearsthesea: (not alone anymore)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-14 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I know you didn't. It's still your choice about what you want to do with it, but if the only reason to hide something is because you think I won't like it...please don't. I'll be fine, I promise.

[She smiles, and if it seems a little brittle it's mostly because she does still regret the things that led her to this conclusion. Ah, hindsight.]
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ ha ha i am totally not a psychopath)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-14 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
...Don't worry. This choice really isn't about you.

[he tilts his head a little... thinking... there are more secrets he could tell, lots of them... but he's not so courageous as that, yet. telling about his true self is a big enough step as it is.]

I think that's the big one. It could make others pretty mad... A creature with control over pain, acting like a normal human...
hearsthesea: (Stella'll be mad)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-14 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see why that should be a problem, as long as you want to. Then again...

[She sighs. Shirley's aware that not everyone thinks that way, and Robin's particular phrasing makes her think of Solon - substituting "creature" for "assassin," anyway. But still.]

As long as that's what you want to do, you shouldn't believe anybody who says you shouldn't.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ smugger mcsmuggerson)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-15 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[this is where they differ. if people are mad at him, that makes things inconvenient. he can't roam with the freedom that he wants. but...]

...You're right. But it's complicated, sometimes. And I meant it when I said I was shy.

[he offers her a smile.]

This isn't exactly what I expected I'd be talking about today, but thank you.
hearsthesea: (like myself the way I am now)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-16 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a smile back.]

And thank you for trusting me. I know it's hard.

[She's feeling pretty good, though, either because of their conversation or because the augment is juicing her up now. Speaking of which...]

Thank you again for helping me earlier, too. I feel better now.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ our lord and savior)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-16 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, good. [he gives her a friendly pat on the shoulder...?] Shall I let you return to whatever you were up to?
hearsthesea: (she gave me her blessing)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-16 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to look for a different library. I don't think going back to this one is a good idea for now.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ onto the next bad habit)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-16 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That'd probably be safest. [he winks at her dfjskdl. :')]
hearsthesea: (a nickname for Gnorma)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-16 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[YEAH...]

And you? Where are you going?
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ nice real estate you got there)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-17 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's time for some clothes shopping. [he shrugs.] Or I'll continue to wander. It's a big moon.
hearsthesea: (the tomorrow we build together)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-17 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
We'll be parting ways, then. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
birdsbirdsbirds: (♥ sometimes he's not awful)

[personal profile] birdsbirdsbirds 2015-03-18 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
All right. You enjoy it too, Canary...
hearsthesea: (like myself the way I am now)

[personal profile] hearsthesea 2015-03-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Goodbye then, Robin. I'll see you later.

[And with a last nod, she's off.]
