@killedkennys said: "this town fucking sucks, and the adults here are total assholes. they can't be trusted. that's why it's important for us kids to have each other's backs when we can." the vigilante speaks gruffly, expression grim, yet there is misplaced fondness that might feel somewhat familiar beneath cold, composed exterior. mysterion frowns, looking askance. "i guess what i'm saying is... i'm here. if you ever need anything."
you know , moving from the east coast to a small town in in a SQUARE state surrounded by mountains was proving to be as DIFFICULT of an adjustment as she expect it to be. perhaps it was her own display of rebellion , but since they moved her , she’s made it a point to keep away from her classmates.
sure there were some kids who she thought were COOL ( well.. it was more like TWO. there were two kids she thought were cool ) , but for the most part , louise really didn’t care for anyone else here. ADULTS INCLUDED.
her body sat uncomfortably on the curb , squinted gaze staring down at the black pavement that backgrounded her boots. feet had started to fidget slightly as he spoke ; his words were having an impact in her , they were impacting her in a way she didn’t want them to. his voice was REAL though ; not a hint of PATRIONIZING or SUPERIORITY was detected. he really MEANT what he was saying.
her hat is pulled over her face , a brief pause of complete silence before it’s suddenly broken by a soft muffled groan that hummed through the pink fabric. this goes on for a good ten seconds. she emerges , FINALLY , adjusting her ears back to it’s original state. blue gloved hands scoop up her backpack from the ground , throwing it over her back and standing up to stare at the VIGILANTE.
her gaze could be read as neutral , given the darkness that surrounded them. hell even SHE couldn’t see. louise sighs , her arms embrace around herself , brown eyes still gazing intensely , focus down at her feet. though her tone may come across as RUDE , it’s as genuine as a thank you he’s even gonna get.
“ this town DOES suck. and so does almost everyone in it... ” a pause. her voice softening. “ but yeah i guess i can try sticking it out a little longer... SOME of the kids aren’t too asshole-ish. ” she glances up at him , “ you’re not as LAME as i thought you were either. ”
