If you're still doing the angst ask things. “ look me in the eyes and say that again. ”?
ANGST & POST-ANGST SENTENCES. ( CLOSED )
Seeing and looking. They are synonymous but not quite. To look is to search —— and to see is sight based on something you know is there, tangible or not. A sniper will do both. He does what he can to avoid gazing into that needle-point blackness in somebody’s eye, afraid of what he’ll feel when caught in their stare. He knows what he said —— so does she. And Glaz also knows why she wants him to repeat it; Quinn believed in him for reasons unbeknownst to him. She’s the kind of person to call others out on their bullshit and pick them up when they need a swift kickstart. She reminded him a little of Twitch in that aspect but maybe not quite as reserved.
With a sigh of acquiescence, Glaz gives in. ❛ I said what I think doesn’t matter. I do what HQ asks of me, that’s it. I don’t feel anything. ❜ He’ll say it as many times as he likes, for the sake of making it true. But he realises he’s not fooling her —— judging by the curt response and glower worn rarely on her face. It’s quiet but close like impending thunder. He glowered too, eyes downward and unfocused. She’s not buying the lie and neither is he. ❛ When we signed up, we signed over ourselves too. ❜
