I thought..... I thought I'd give you a bit of time to get used to things a little before I asked you about it but....what.....what exactly happened?

I think it goes without saying that he... attacked bit me.

I'm not entirely sure what how to explain. Murphy entered my room without permission, we conversed some, and then he bit me.

He just.....he just pushed his way in and then suddenly decided you were a snack?!

[illicitsolution.livejournal.com]

... I wouldn't say 'suddenly'.

He had come up to my floor completely wasted and put up a good effort trying to kick down my door. I opened it, told him to go away, but, ah, he managed to slip in. [an embarrassed pause and a absent minded squiggle]

... And then well, we conversed a little, and I tried to get him to leave. I was in the middle of some work previously, so my efforts got some old blood on him. He asked for a paper towel, and when I leaned over to clean him up, he tackled and bit me.

I... I'm sorry, Even.

[illicitsolution.livejournal.com]

Why are you sorry, Ruby?

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

I promised tha... I should have....I mean...I smelled him down there with you but...I mean I thought it was okay. I thought it was just like the other night and I just--- I guess I just shouldn't have trusted him... I'm sorry, Even. I wasn't there...and I should have been.

Ruby, it's not your fault. This entire situation- I don't think any of us expected it to happen.

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

But it is. I should have---- [a soft sigh] I'm terrible at protecting you aren't I? [small laugh]

[illicitsolution.livejournal.com]

... I don't need protecting, Ruby. There are consequences for my actions that I must accept.

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

You are....Even you are my friend... you are one of the very few people I care about. You are part of the only thing that matters to me. I can't keep..failing you like this..

[illicitsolution.livejournal.com]

If I cause you this much pain, then maybe you should forget me.

[A jagged mark, like his hand was trembling]

I can't be kind to you, Ruby.
You're not my friend. I don't need you.

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

[a chuckle]
Ah, Red. It's far too late for that.

[illicitsolution.livejournal.com]

It's never too-

[recorded, dark laughter]

Fine, you may end up regretting it, dear red dragon.

[notsomuchakitty.livejournal.com]

For my kind it is. Emotions do not fade with us. I will care about you for the rest of eternity.

Oh, Even. You can't regret something in which you had no choice.
