“Well, I wanna start feeding myself. Feeding myself fish. And shoelaces are a good idea, but who would bring shoelaces to a beach? Not me. And they’d need to be like super long”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“People with shoes? I . . yeah. I have shoelaces.” 

“Maybe there could just be . . a lot. A lot of shoelaces.”

“We will. We’ll get out of here. Things are going to be fine. I know… I know they don’t seem like it right now, but they will be.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Maybe. They might be. No point in guaranteeing something you don’t know for sure, right?”

[montrosewilldavidson-blog]

“Whatever you say, dude. We should probably see if anyone has ideas for how to get out of here, you know.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Yeah, probably. You got anything? I don’t.”

[parvatigaresh-blog]

“… if we get out of here, you’re not going to get left behind. None of us would let them just leave you here.”

“You’re… oh. I had no idea.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“You sure?”

“Eh. It’s . . It’s whatever . . I’m used to it.”

[tamarapalsey-blog]

“If it makes you feel better to speak in it, then it’s better I let you than not,” she offered simply, shrugging a shoulder. “I’d like to learn it one day. I love learning new languages. It’s just not as common as say French or Spanish around here.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“It’s not gonna help shit if nobody gets what I’m saying,” he mumbled. “Learn it when we get out of here, alright? I mean-- if we do. Probably won’t. Whatever.”

[montrosewilldavidson-blog]

“Unless those twenty-four people figured out who the last one is and ganged up on them all at once. The risk to themselves just seems insane to me.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Maybe. Whatever,” he sighed. “Not gonna argue something pointless like this.”

“I haven’t laid a finger on you, but I advise you to keep your goddamn mouth shut before the temptation overrules.” If this kid thought a little distance between them was enough of a measure for safety, the other was sorely mistaken. “You need to calm down before I give you reason to be this much of a fuckin’ mess.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Haven’t yet, but there’s no saying you won’t,” Adrien said, eyes narrowed. “Already given me one; you’re-- you’re kinda close, alright? Jeez.” Another step back was taken in an attempt to put more distance between the two of them - he didn’t like being that near to anyone.

“I mean. I guess I can get someone giving up, but giving up so much that you’d stick around here after stranding like twenty-five people? That’s crazy.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Only twenty-four; they’d be one of us, right? Stranding twenty-four people and then themselves. Not too crazy.”

[tamarapalsey-blog]

“Russian. It’s pretty,” Tamara offered in return. He seemed like he was starting to calm down, at least, like his breathing was more level and he was more in his own head than he had been moments before. “I don’t understand it, but you can speak in it as much as you’d like. I don’t mind.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Thanks . . ” Adrien trailed off into silence, only finding his words after a few seconds had passed. “Doesn’t make a difference if you can’t understand me, right? J-Just-- it’s whatever, yeah. Nobody here speaks it besides me, I think.”

[d-sharm-deactivated20180331]

“Nothing currently, but the risk of it is high with a personality like yours.” In a word, Camden thought that the stranger before him was irritable if not unstable. Not that he himself was the reigning champion of mental stability, but this kid was on his own level. “If that’s your idea of having a hold of yourself, you’re going to need to rethink your definition of what that means. You’re so close to going over the edge, I feel like I’m going to have to physically grab you just to steady you. You aren’t fine by any means of that word.” It struck him as peculiar that the other would mention another death with no evidence to suggest one was in their future, causing a brow to quirk. “I highly doubt a serial killer is on the loose. It’s one man. Don’t jump to conclusions.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“--Don’t fucking touch me,” he snapped, stepping back. “Might be; you never know. Never fucking know who’s around until they do something super shitty, right?” Just the thought of it bothered him, and Adrien found himself glancing over his shoulder, wanting to make sure no one was there - he felt eyes on him.

“If someone comes for one of us, they’ll come for all of us, don’t you see? One gets found, we all get off. Even if your family doesn’t seem so fond of you, I doubt they would just abandon you here anyway.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“I’m usually the one that gets left behind. You know what - whatever, s’not worth it.”

“By the way, yeah, they kinda would. Perks of being an orphan, am I right?”

[d-sharm-deactivated20180331]

“No? Then how in the fuck was I able to decipher you and respond? Listening goes hand in hand with hearing, but maybe you yourself are a hypocritical little shit and didn’t do much of your own back in grade school to learn that, but I digress. You won’t be civilized, you’ll panic even more when mob mentality to take down the threat invades that mind of yours. I would have tuned into you even if you weren’t shouting up a fuckin’ storm, which, for the record, helps no one, but had you thrown Russian at me, it would have diminished your chances.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Nothing’s invading my mind,” he snapped, as though that was the most important part of what had been said. “Mob mentality’s got nothing to do with my panic or whatever, alright? I’ve got hold of myself; everything’s fine. Until another one of us dies, anyways.”

[d-sharm-deactivated20180331]

“Believe me, anyone within a ten mile radius can hear you. You’ve got everyone listening. Now, lower your voice and express yourself in a civilized manner. You’d think you’d never been around a corpse in your entire life. You’ve been to funerals, right? Think of this as one. Frankly, I don’t give a shit who did it. I’m not passing judgment. We don’t know the backstory, could have been a vengeful slaying. I am, however, open to the latter. Mainly, because I didn’t sign up for Island living.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Hearing doesn’t mean listening. Civilised manner? I’ll be civilised when someone says they did this, yeah? Or, better, getting off the island, like I said. Jeez - besides, only reason you’re paying any fucking attention is because I was screaming, right? Could’ve started yelling in Russian; works the same. Злой русские and all that, right?”

[montrosewilldavidson-blog]

“You… nah. You can’t just not care about yourself so much that you’d put yourself at that much risk. No one could.”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Sometimes you just give up, alright? Can’t see anything good left, so you just . . eh. Stop caring. Whatever, though; I’m being a . . a real downer right about now, I guess.”

[tamarapalsey-blog]

“Good, you’re doing good. Just keep focusing on your hands and follow them with your breathing,” she instructed softly. She didn’t understand a word of the other language he slipped into, but assumed it was him not understanding why she was guiding him to breathe the way she was. When he’d taken a few more slower breaths, she spoke up again, continuing to move her hands along with his. “What language were you speaking just now?”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“It’s . . русский. Russian,” he mumbled, continuing to follow her movements. “I’m not good with английский, English . . and sometimes I forget . . ”

[prycespencer-blog]

“You’re a little shit, you know that?”

[mchiavellians-blog]

“Didn’t know, but-- yeah, okay, whatever. Jeez.”

With that, Adrien made to leave, making good on his word.
