* CAYDE-6 ! ( ᵃᵖ. )

❝ you didn’t just hear that? that sound? that noise? ❞

          “ NOPE , ” not even a glance up before he keeps walking , kicking the rubble around with the toe of his boot ( as per usual ) and swinging his arms a little too wide for anyone to be able to walk alongside him.  CAYDE’s got his gun drawn , recklessly spinning it along his right index finger before he stops and twists on his heel to face them.  “ you must be hallucinating ‘cause . . . i haven’t heard anything but your mouth for the past forty minutes. ”

❛ some people are so good at disappearing that you start to doubt your memories that they were ever there. ❜ 

❛ how do you say goodbye to someone who was never there? ❜

❛ i don’t want a world without pain, or loss. i just want them to mean something. ❜

❛ there are some people who believe a photo captures their soul. ❜

❛ if you love something let it go. ❜

❛ you were not the first, you will not be the last. ❜

❛ there are some secrets i will take to my grave, but i don’t want loving you to be one of them. ❜

❛ you can still back out before anyone gets hurt. ❜

❛ i said i’d love you forever, and really meant it at the time. i guess that’s my problem. ❜

❛ kindness won’t save anyone. ❜

❛ for a long time i thought i deserved better. but the truth is we both deserve better than this. ❜

❛ i wish there was a word that meant “goodbye” for someone who was already gone. ❜

❛ i never meant to hurt you. you have to believe me. ❜

❛ we’ll always have yesterday. ❜

❛ hope softens the rough edge of every promise. ❜

❛ love is stupid. happiness is admitting we aren’t better than stupid. ❜

❛ you can’t always want what you get. ❜

❛ i wish i had a dollar for every dollar’s worth of work i did. ❜

❛ we are empty inside and hollow. hoping something sweet will make its nest in us. ❜

❛ we’re too far from help. ❜

❛ monsters are even more scary when you see them afraid. ❜

❛ we carry our own loneliness with us. ❜ 

❛ fake happiness beats genuine misery. ❜

❛ they always trust me to be someone who i don’t even want to be. ❜

❛ i cannot see where i want to go, only that i want the going.❜

❛ you are never here. you are always almost there. ❜

❛ you and me will die the way we lived, telling ourselves stories to make it mean something. ❜

“ there’s something about her, isn’t there ? something that tells you she’s seen more than a girl like her should have, been places a girl like her shouldn’t have been. makes you wonder, doesn’t it ? what happens when a girl who’s all pretty - face and no heart survives things that most people refuse to even think about ?

‘ i’d like to stay like this for awhile. ’

          PRETENDING.  that’s what CAYDE is doing.  he’s doing good to suppress those feelings that he’s lost yet another thing important to him - maybe the most important thing he’s ever had that he is able to remember.  and sometimes , he wishes that he would forget , too.  he wishes that his memory would be wiped and he would be on the same page she is - but that’s selfish and he knows it.  that’s why he doesn’t act upon that impulse.

          he’s fully aware that he is still in it for her - now , more than ever.  since the accident - since she came back freshly-rezzed by some ghost looking for the odd one out.  a chosen guardian of that specific ghost’s choice to bring back - who would’ve ever thought it would be her ?  his light , his daughter , his ace.  and even if she doesn’t remember him or lacks the ability to recall how things were before her death … he still loves her just the same.  she might be gone , but he isn’t.

          “ alright , chickadee … ”  he catches himself before he’s able to say it - but the word still comes out.  suddenly , this little spot he goes to escape everything becomes one of the most significant places in the world.  “ stay as long as you like.  i’m not going anywhere. ”

she's toying with the little badge on her shirt, 'shining' it with the end of her sleeve. ' daddy, will i be a vanguard too ? '

          HE GAVE IT TO HER EARLIER and not even a whole three hours has passed before she’s popping such a question like that.  CAYDE-6 has taken her to the hangar with him to see amanda about a ship he needs to get into more trouble - surely.  he did a bit of heavy lifting , shuffling engine parts to the end of the small runway and attempting to hoist them into the compartment.  the exo didn’t realize , however , that he was being followed.

          he turns with a bit of a quick spin on his heel.  hands wipe at trousers , palms scrubbing to attempt to remove some of the grease stain from gloves before he even thinks about bending to her level.  eyes flicker , stare along the fabric between his fingers once his hands are raised to inspect , and upon seeing that they’re clean enough , then he bends to one knee and reaches to idly adjust her badge.

          “ you want to be ? ” it’s more of a concerned question rather than a legitimately excited one.  to him , she’s worth more than some position where she’s trapped in the TOWER all day & looking at maps & listening to the other two vanguards speak on their plans ( albeit ones she won’t necessarily be involved in - like himself ).  CAYDE shrugs instead of going on along spiel about how she’s destined for greatness - even though he wholly believes she is.  “ don’t you wanna be out runnin’ around with your friends ? ”

28 & 29

UNCOMMON QUESTIONS.

28. Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?

          despite his foolish & childish demeanor , CAYDE-6 has more regrets than anyone could ever guess.  he can recall the times he made bets , the lives lost due to his slight incompetence , and he isn’t afraid to take responsibility for any of it … but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t regret any of it because he really , truly does.

29. Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why?

          to CAYDE , the silence means the feeling of something brewing - something negative.  whereas he’s always speaking , he doesn’t mind to fill a conversation with idle banter if it means keeping everyone’s hopes up , but the minute there is no response is when he begins to feel uncomfortable.  in all , no - he very much dislikes the silence.
