“A lot of us could have died. Some of us did. I understand you want to protect her, but the people who hold those kinds of thoughts about your sister and others like her, they’re…they aren’t people you have the skills to protect her from.”

What, just ‘cause they have magic or whatever? I love my sister. I’d do whatever to keep her safe -- fuck magic, fuck whatever they have. I had a right to know.

[sigclay]

padraicmacmillan:

It’s what we call the world where muggles, non-wizards are from. Maybe she was trying to protect you

Protect me? Me? She’s the one that needs protecting. She could’ve died in there. Still could, right? From what I’m hearing, it’s that bad.

[sigclay]

padraicmacmillan:

Because she’s from the muggle world?

I guess? I don’t really know the words. I just know she had a shit time in school, I take it. Not that she ever told me.

[sigclay]

padraicmacmillan:

Maybe it’s not should or shouldn’t, but about can and can’t. Not sure that makes it any less fucked, but it makes more sense, I think.

It’s not ... not like that. My sister just never told me what it was like at her school. That people treated her and other people like shit because of here family, where she comes from. 

[sigclay]

I ... I just don’t get it. The idea that someone should be able to learn things someone else shouldn’t. It’s ... fucked, is all.

[sigclay]

rosiebungs:

no, you just seemed a little unsure is all. besides what does it hurt if someone likes this Star Wars thing? If it makes them happy and doesn’t hurt others shouldn’t that be okay?

I don’t know. I guess? Why do you care so much?

[sigclay]

rosiebungs:

are you sure you know what it is?

Um, yeah? You just said yourself that you don’t know what it is. What, you some secret undercover Star Wars nerd?

[sigclay]

rosiebungs:

I’m not quite sure what that is. 

Star Wars? I mean, not surprising that you don’t know it considering it’s shit. There are better movies out there. It’s about, like ... aliens or something. I don’t know. Either way, it’s shit and not worth your time.

[sigclay]

Star Wars is for nerds and it’s not even that good. There, I said it.

eden-finley:

[reaches up to cradle the side of his face gently] You’re sweet to worry, Sig, but you don’t have to. I’m not going to do anything reckless. I promise.

I -- I just ... I’m sorry that -- that your friend turned out to be bad. I wish it wasn’t like that, but ... but you’re worth more than that. Than a chance.

[sigclay]

dempster-wade:

I have told him. But this is also about my own reputation.

I know. But they’re gonna talk either way, right? And if you keep fighting it, it’ll seem like you really got something to hide.

[sigclay]

eden-finley:

Maybe. I know Penn would agree with you, at least.

Getting yourself hurt or -- or worse isn’t worth it. It’s just not.

[sigclay]

rosiebungs:

what about it?

Doesn’t everyone deserve to be happy? No one should be sad, right? So that includes you.

[sigclay]

rosiebungs:

doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try

What about you? What about if you’re sad?

[sigclay]

eden-finley:

It … may have crossed my mind.

I know it’s stupid. I know. I just … what if there’s still hope for him?

I don’t think it’s stupid. It’s not stupid to want to help people. But you said he’s not good anymore. It’s not worth it to put yourself in danger, right? Especially if the chances are that there isn’t hope.

[sigclay]

dempster-wade:

So you believe I should not contest these claims that we are engaged in an affair? That I should let people believe that I have been unfaithful to Oliver?

I don’t know. Does he know it’s not true?

[sigclay]

eden-finley:

Right. Right, yeah of course I won’t seek him out.

I’ll try not to.

You’re not ... you’re not thinking about finding him, are you?
