how do you wanna face it? when the end is so close you can taste it
“If by helped, you mean I don’t want to stab people any more, then… yes, it helped.” Tossin’ him a wry grin, I begin to track my way back up the beach, pickin’ up the few bits’a clothin’ I’d shed on the way down. An’ once I grabbed the last sandal, I headed back towards Elias, tiltin’ my head to one side an’ squeezin’ the water out of it as I go. One hand is fussin’ with my hair an’ the other is holdin’ clothes, so I have to toss ‘em down to gleefully take the apple.
“Gods, you’re a gem. Too hot to eat, even with the breeze.” An’ now that I’ve said it aloud. I grimace a bit. “Guess this is me ‘hangry.’” Or I was. The apple helps, an’ I seem to devour it in the same way my stomach is all of a sudden devouring itself. I lean back an’ enjoy it, watchin’ the Arclight an’ the people who depend on it.
“So how’s business?” I ask through a half mouthful’a apple, turnin’ to look at ‘im with an eyebrow raised.
