Invenies etiam te ipsum.

The name's Ian. 21 years old and in my first year at Dysperia University. I study Law and Sword-fighting, you can find me in Dorm 2.

[k-lairvoyant]

Like soul mates?

[ian-freeman]

Something like that.

[k-lairvoyant]

You’re too good for me, you know.

[ian-freeman]

Too good? I like to think I'm just right.

[k-lairvoyant]

[ian-freeman]

[k-lairvoyant]

Katherine didn’t want to be a burden. She’s already a burden to everyone else.

I love you more. Don’t ever leave me, okay? I’ve always said that I wasn’t going to be that pathetic type of girl who needs a boy, but you’ve changed that. You’re my life.

[ian-freeman]

She's no burden.

I won't, I promise.

[k-lairvoyant]

It was more to do with my telepathy than anything.

... You can tell me these things, Katie. You know that, right?

I love you and I want to be able to help you if you need me to.

[k-lairvoyant]

I don’t know. I just did a huge circuit.

Save it, you don’t owe me anything. If anything, I need to apologize to you. I didn’t mean to freak you out, or be so shitty. I wasn’t in a good frame of mind at the time… I had to get away from here, before I did something dangerous.

[ian-freeman]

Well, next time you decide take a road trip, I don't want it to be because of me.

I understand that, but I had no idea what was going on or why you'd left. All I knew was that you seemed angry, and that you were gone and I didn't know where you were.

[k-lairvoyant]

Not all week. Sometimes I stopped to eat, or sleep, or use the bathroom.

[ian-freeman]

Where did you run out of road?

... You know, I really owe you an apology.

[k-lairvoyant]

… Nowhere in particular, I just kept driving…

[ian-freeman]

You drove all week?

[k-lairvoyant]

She’s a scaredy cat, but I’ll let you meet her.

[ian-freeman]

I'm looking forward to it.

[After a little while of silence, Ian sighs heavily] Where did you go?

[k-lairvoyant]

[Katie sits on the library’s stairs, head down. She can sense a presence nearby, although she doesn’t know who. It doesn’t stop her from speaking, though - her concious was going a million miles an hour, she needs to let it out. She needs to be honest with herself, too. Katie sighs, gazes upwards, and begins to speak.]

I know everyone thinks I’m the bad guy around here. But I have my reasons to be. If they knew Katherine, not Katie…

[ian-freeman]

I'd like to get to know this Katherine.

[autumn-fitz]

Don’t apologise, it can’t be helped I’m afraid.

What about your family- did they react well enough or….?

[ian-freeman]

Oh, uh, I don't have any special abilities. I'm actually here for my brother, Luke.

I don't think my father even knows.

[autumn-fitz]

Ah yes, fine, I’m perfectly fine.

My parents never reacted swimmingly to the whole ‘abilities’ nonsense and from finding out have been dedicated to finding me doctors who specialize in getting rid of them. Here we are, three years later and they’re still desperately trying. 

[ian-freeman]

Oh, wow.

That's got to suck. I'm sorry.

[autumn-fitz]

I guess…I guess you’re right. Sorry you had to see that though, Christmas and family generally bring out the worst in me, and the Scottish

[ian-freeman]

Understandable.

I heard you mention going to a hospital, though. Is everything okay?

[autumn-fitz]

[she goes to speak, but then remembers herself, changing her voice to sound much more ‘English’] Sorry, sorry, that was totally inappropriate of me and un-professional, and you shouldn’t have seen that.

[ian-freeman]

It's fine. No one needs to be professional 24/7.

[autumn-fitz]

[talking on the phone, Scottish accent strong] Nah mam, I’m not fuckin’ comin’ home for Christmas, alreet? An’ I ain’t seein’ a doctor either! [she slams down the end call button on her phone, chucking it across the corridor and grumbling]

[autumn-fitz]

[ian-freeman]

Everything okay?

[carawyatts]

We are in London.

[ian-freeman]

I meant London city.

[carawyatts]

If? Has something happened between you two?

[ian-freeman]

She ran away to London.
