“ i know , ” summer shook her head , closing her eyes with a sigh . she still had her defiant streak , which constantly caused her to push the limits of her freedom — or lack thereof . “ i just . . . i got so close this time . i truly thought i was going to go home to my daughters . ”

summer shifted uncomfortably , allowing the doctor to take her wrists down . her hands throbbed in pain , blood streaking down her arms & onto the floor . every movement caused a wince .

“ it hurts so much , ” she murmured , circulating her wrists to try & regain the blood flow . “ i know you can’t . . . leave me unrestrained , but could you at least . . . put them on looser than that ? please ? ”

[livestosteal]

The sight and scent of blood - of her blood, especially - had long-since become a familiar companion. Indeed, on the whole, blood didn't bother him, and he had spent enough time as a surgeon to think himself fairly numb to blood coating his hands. And yet it didn't stop a part of him from squirming with unease to see the crimson run down her arms as he loosened her restraints, or as she rolled her wrists.

Torture had never much been his style. But Salem did so enjoy this wilting flower as her plaything. The least he could do was do his best to keep her healthy.

"I'm sure you did," he allowed gently, shaking his head as he let his hand stop between them. An offer, rather than an invasion. Then he sighed, glancing at the restraints and clicking his tongue in thought. "I can leave them looser, Flower. And the wrappings will help, as well." She didn't need to get an infection, and the gauze would insulate her wrists some...he could keep them a bit less tight, at least while she healed from this latest attempt.

random angsty things … sentence starters

mentions of death, some things could be seen as abusive,  overall just a lot of uffda in here, tread lightly

“Give me up.”

“Don’t play games with me.”

“We were a mistake. This, us. “

“Don’t cry. It won’t fix anything.”

“You never say what you mean.”

“I don’t think I’m gonna make it…”

“There’s something wrong with me.”

“Get out. I don’t want you here, anymore.”

“You think apologizing makes this all better?”

“No, why… why would you do this to yourself?”

“I saw you her/him/them. Don’t lie. I already know.”

“It’s not your fault. You didn’t do this to me. They did.”

“I’m so sorry, I don’t know why I’m like this! I don’t — !”

“So, were you just pretending to care about me? Is that it?”

“You think lying to yourself makes this easier, but it doesn’t.”

“They ripped you apart, and left you to put yourself back together.”

“Happy? You really think someone like you deserves to be happy?”

“You think that helping everyone else will keep you from hurting, huh?”

“You’re not a good person. You can pretend all you want, but you’re not.”

“You’re not invincible, no matter how many times you tell yourself you are.”

“Yes, I made a mistake. But, you don’t need to keep throwing it in my face.”

“You don’t have to keep ‘making up’ for things… that weren’t even your fault.”

“You need to move on, because clinging to what we had is going to destroy you.”

“I’ve already forgiven you. I told you that. —- Maybe you just haven’t forgiven yourself.”

“You’ve done nothing but lie to me. So give me a reason why I should believe you, now.”

“I just got out of this… whatever the hell this is. I’m not going to let you pull me right back in.”

“I can see right through you. I can see how much this hurts you… even if you don’t want to admit it.”

“Please don’t let me fall.”

“I’m the one who will survive.”

“I don’t trust you. But, I want to.”

“You’re a risk I’m willing to take.”

“I love you, and that’s all I know.”

“I’m merciless, when will you learn?“

“I’m out for blood, to claim what’s mine.”

“And I’ll be the last one you ever betray.”

“I won’t live the life you made me choose.”

“I am terrified of who I am when I’m alone.”

“Let me show you, show you what I found.”

“So, deep breath in… you’re meant for this.”

“Put me to the test, I’ll prove that I’m strong.”

“Lost one, tell me, do you want to be found?”

“You’re my mortal flaw and I’m your fatal sin.”

“I’ve made mistakes, but God knows I’ve tried.”

“This might be your one chance at redemption.”

“Yet, I’m still surprised every time that I get hurt.”

“You’ll always be my worst and favorite mistake.”

“Your love defines me in a way I didn’t want it to.”

“For me, it’s real, now… I’m not playing anymore.”

“We’re players in a game that I don’t intend to lose.”

“I’m turning into a monster. You better run and hide.”

“I’m still running heart first, but with eyes wide open.”

“You were never mine to have… still, I loved you to the last.”

“So, are you happy, now? You got exactly what you wanted.”

“At the end, when my heart beats its last, I will still want you.”

“There are times when I miss the light, but I’m not afraid of the dark.”

“And I know exactly what I’m for, to hurt and destroy and nothing more.”

“You’re the one who could see the good inside of me. And I knew then that I had something real.”

“I can’t say that I’m not scared. I’m terrified of how much I care. But, I don’t want to be anywhere but here, with you.”

The good doctor wouldn’t know a relaxed sprawl even if the idea of bad posture gained corporeal form and socked him in the jaw; Summer tilted her chin, preoccupied more with that mental image than that of Watts deigning to let the blood rush to his head. Bad Posture would be gangly, she decided. Like a teenager in that awkward phase of a growing when the limbs outpaced everything else.

“Perish the thought,” she said, deadpan, and then brightly, “Only Death doesn’t dwell in the dark, you know.”

Nor was it final in the strictest sense—not for some, and on days when she felt inclined to take Salem’s word for it, maybe not really for anyone. But Watts knew that, of course, and that made it a less funny point to quibble.

Her eyes glinted as she swung around the protruding archway leading into the kitchen. (Like a mouth, she’d always thought: something dentate in the ridged shape of its lintel.) “…it’s snow-blind,” she hummed. “Probably feels right at home in Atlas, so really, you’re not a dead man; you’re a generic brand revenant. If manners maketh man–”

She was already rifling through the icebox, true to her word to be efficient, and seized the shrimp with a victorious flourish.

“—and the dead man is unmade by neglect of his manners, then it follows as the night the day that the mannerless return to life.” Summer Rose died years ago, but it hadn’t been so long that she’d forgotten how to ape the cadence of Ozpin’s most whimsical mode.

[livestosteal]

A low hum of amused concession was all Arthur had for death and his revenancy for a moment. Faced with the kitchen itself, he really was going to need to make a decision on something to eat. And that was a bit more of a conundrum than he cared to admit. It was, he decided wryly, just so much easier when he was cooking for other people first, and himself second.

Alas.

While she made for the icebox, he made for the pantry, letting habit guide him more than taste. He wasn't exactly surprised to find himself gravitating towards noodles, but...

He hesitated a split second, frowning at the shelves. What, blast it, was he going to even make? For all the effort of getting here, he really hadn't gotten any further than the pasta idea, had he? Well, that would do, and so he scooped up the noodles with a hum, to emerge from the pantry as she finished speaking.

His wry smile returned at her victorious brandishing of the shrimp, dipping his head in concession. "Touche. Though in either case, revenant or dead man, I should endeavor to remain lifeless, I think." Both for his own comfort, and the ease of Salem's plans. Besides, eventually that death would be real. Until that day came, he saw no reason to stop being himself for it.

What else did he need...if he wanted to do it properly, then some flour, milk, and butter for the sauce, and...he should probably grab some chicken and fresh vegetables, if they had any. No point in making the sauce from scratch to use frozen vegetables. Peas and carrots at least...
