@bl3dchaos asked: i wish i could turn you into a worm so i could protect you and take care of you better and feed you the best, greenest, crispiest leaves. your enclosure would be pristine, and i'd set up a phone against the glass for you to be able to watch all your favorite movies and tv shows. — for claire.

" You know, all things considered -- worm wouldn't even be the worst thing I've been turned into. " The crescent moon tattooed on her bicep is proof of that, though the thought never leaves her mouth. The box of fries is offered back to her sister.

" You already got a worm enclosure set up, Lyds? "

@unclenegan asked: you're safe here with me. — for claire.

How many times has she heard that? There's a part of her that aches to believe him, to have some place to belong, to trust in something other than herself -- it's a part of her that Claire tries so hard to shove down, make as small as possible.

After all -- can't be disappointed if she'd never expected anything at all.

She lets out a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding, and one hand moves to grip the hem of the leather jacket she's swimming in.

If he's lied to her, if he's just like everyone else -- he is, at least, the safer option. She can extend what little faith she has, for the time being. " Swear it. " -- and she's quiet, like it's some sort of test -- " Swear it on something that matters. "

" Thanks for making this a home or, you know, whatever. " She means it, she does, but emotion has never come easy for her -- it always has to be presented as playful indifference. " Something sentimental like that. "

" Y'know, we've definitely got enough spiderwebs for the whole restaurant, " she teases, stringing some along the doorway, " you don't need to run out and buy some more. We'll be okay. "

" You do realize, dear, that not only can you not hide anything here -- " A vague gesture around, at the nothingness that surrounds them -- " -- but your poker face just isn't very good. "

There is some part of him that's curious, why she chooses to come here when she feels like this; but then, he supposes, where else would she go? It's still, it's quiet. There is, quite literally, nothing surrounding them -- he does so enjoy his sleep.

" I would ask what's wrong, but we both know sometimes silence suffices just as well. "

[huntersmooned]

do you care her.

[huntersmooned]

" I guess you never know someone you think you know. "

@heavenguided

" You don't know me. " She doesn't even know him -- this other world's version of him. There's a grin at the corner of his lips, and his hands fall to rest behind his back; a show of good faith, really. There are no weapons ( at hand ), no tricks up his sleeve -- he is, for once, simply talking to her.

" My sister. We came into being together, unlike -- Well. You. " His head tilts. " If even she doesn't know me, you certainly don't. "
