scientia potentia est

Cade Fletcher. Seventeen. Erudite. Dauntless.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Expression still guarded, she only offered a shrug before patting her pockets in search of a carton of cigarettes. Lighting one with a little bit of difficulty, she raised her eyebrows at him. “Nothing. Anything else or can I fucking go now?”

Cade stayed silent as he watched her light up a cigarette. It took a while but he merely observed her before she spoke again. "So you picked up smoking," he said, raising an eyebrow.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Her expression turned wounded for a minute before becoming quite guarded, and Magnolia bit the inside of her cheek to hide a frown. For the first time in a long time, she was silent, and only offered a nod. Right. Fuck you, then. Stay here, don’t care what you do. 

[cade-fletcher]

Cade wore a triumphant look on his face as he waited for Magnolia to respond. She always had a response. But when she came up with nothing, he turned to look at her, a bit surprised when all she could give him was a nod. When she spoke, he furrowed his brows. "What, sour grapes?"

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Making out and general mayhem-making are always good ideas. You just always have your boring pants on. And yes, it is. What, is Cadey afraid it’s going to hurt?

[cade-fletcher]

Not with you, they aren't. And boring is subjective.

Like I said, the pain isn't the issue.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Well, Cadey-cakes, there are others ways to alleviate my boredom but you’re always so against them. So a tattoo is going to have to do.

[cade-fletcher]

Oh, I wouldn't be so against them if you had suggested at least one good idea. Obviously, a tattoo still isn't one.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

And I’m telling you it’s absolutely necessary.

[cade-fletcher]

No, it isn't. You're just bored.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

In all honestly, she wasn’t sure yet - Magnolia just wanted something, and she was going to decide on her way there. So she only offered a shrug, happily dragging him along. The real question is what are we going to get you.

[cade-fletcher]

He shook his head. I'm not getting anything. I'm standing by my decision that the only time I'm getting one is when it's necessary.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Rolling her eyes, she reached forward to grab hold of his wrist, yanking him along with her. At the very least, you’re coming, I need someone to talk to because they take a while.

[cade-fletcher]

He sighed loudly - on purpose, so that she would hear, as she pulled him along. What are you getting this time anyway?

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Uh, yeah. Got it a few months ago. I’m sentimental sometimes. Only sometimes.

[cade-fletcher]

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Rolling her eyes, Maggie looked at him almost incredulously. It’s not about being necessary, it’s about fun.

She extended her arm to him, showing him the Aspen tree she’d had tattooed on her forearm. Get one for her. Come on let’s go!

[cade-fletcher]

And using it for convenience would be even better.

He pulled her by the wrist to take a closer look at her tattoo. So this is what it was. I wasn't able to see it clearly the last time.

[morganxhooper]

So I very do, as do you, Cade. So tell me.. How are you doing during mental?

[cade-fletcher]

I would say I'm doing fine. And you?

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Yes, yes it is. Come on! It doesn’t hurt…well I mean it kind of does. 

[cade-fletcher]

I know that. The pain isn't an issue. I just don't find it necessary for me at this point in time.

[morganxhooper]

Why, thank you. I train hard.

[cade-fletcher]

So you do.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

Nooo, get one with me! Come on, don’t be boring for once.

[cade-fletcher]

Not getting a tattoo isn't equivalent to being no fun.

[morganxhooper]

Hmm.. Is it your star player?

[cade-fletcher]

Yours isn't bad either, I'll give you that.

[morganxhooper]

Now, that puckered lip look isn’t necessary, either.

[cade-fletcher]

Happens to be on the roster of my default expressions.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

It’s not terrible but it’s something we’re going to be fixing…now.

[cade-fletcher]

It doesn't need fixing. I'm fine without. You can get yours and I'll watch.

[magnolia-grace-greengrass]

We need to remedy this immediately.

[cade-fletcher]

You say it like it's such a bad thing not to have any tattoos.
