@vi0lnt asked: " YOU ARE NOTHING BUT DAMNED BONES ... AND A DAMNED SOUL. "

THERE'S A LOOK THAT HE GIVES yelena, long & exposing, as if he's looking through her, the same way she looks at him now. they can read each other easily at this point, having seen more of what the other is capable than anyone else on this decisive team of theirs, & the feeling of being so known would be disconcerting had he not also felt the same about her. yelena calls him out for what they both know he is, damned, & she's only half joking, weight in her tone. the sergeant gives a little nod of head, as if to say, message: understood. hands fold onto the handles of his motorcycle, & he moves to straddle it, turning away from her as engine revs with kick of foot. words unsaid between them, but that's how it always has been, & how it always has to be, lest one of them speak too closely to the truth.

@vi0lnt asked: " I THOUGHT I'D FIND YOU HERE ... GET UP. "

❝ ugh, do i have to ? ❞ tianyu asks, but knows the answer already: she wouldn't be here to bug him if he didn't. he slowly gets to feet, brushing the invisible dust off of pant legs as he does, before straightening & facing her. she's got her mask on now, and he respects her need for it; he wouldn't dare question it, not when he doesn't have that personal battle to fight. ❝ okay, so, what do you want, mystique ? i figure you're not here just to ask me how it's going. ❞ he hesitates a moment, then squints at her, as if trying to assess true intentions. ❝ charles didn't send you, did he ? ❞

@vi0lnt asked: " YOU'RE EXHAUSTED, PEETA, WE'RE STOPPING HERE. "

❝ i'm fine, katniss, really, ❞ the blond says, but he's swaying on his feet, and vision blurs with how body wants to shut down. it's been a long day and he knows they have to move closer to cover before they're spotted out in the open. ❝ we're almost there, right ? i can go a little longer. i promise . . . ❞ he takes a moment to lean against a tree, trying to regain bearings. it takes a while, but finally he's able to focus, standing to attention & turning to face her. ❝ let's go. we have to get there before they do. ❞

@vi0lnt asked : " I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON. "

nita's jaw drops -- eyes glancing at him in disbelief as she halts her movement , wondering what to say . should she even say anything ? is it worth anything to protest his thoughts ? is it even worth contributing to her own thoughts & saying something else that deemed otherwise ? her head tilts , silent as ever . for once , nita d'alia is silenced -- gobsmacked , even . " well , " she chuckles , trying to get rid of some of the tension in the air : it's a nervous one , nonetheless , attempting to make him feel better , somewhat . " what .. like , exactly do you mean by that ? like you killed someone ? joined in a protest ? you were in prison ? " she asks , however , trying to table every single thought in her mind , keeping her eyes on him , wanting to say that he isn't a bad person , although -- she doesn't really know him that well , does she ?

@vi0lnt asked : " I'M NOT WHO YOU THOUGHT I WAS. "

" so who are you , then ? " kenji asks , face filled with disappointment as he looks over at ilsa , his arm crossed over his chest as his eyes gaze over , wanting an answer . sure -- it may have seemed like some typical little relationship , casual , of course . but he was getting used to seeing the other -- he wanted to keep seeing the other because it broke a pattern in his everyday life , something that was different , something that helped him look forward to other things rather than working . pinching the bridge of his nose as he sighs , shaking his head . " you're telling me that this was all a lie ? "

@vi0lnt asked: " YOU KEEP QUESTIONABLE COMPANY. "

head cants to the side slightly as she navigates how to answer his accusation. she could deny such a claim, act veraciously as though it isn't true ― but they both know that it is, and failing to acknowledge that would only do them both a disservice. rhaenyra turns to look at other, and there's an indiscernible look in her eyes that focuses on him with intent. ❝ questionable company is what may be required to win a war. does your concern cloud your judgment ? i thought you to be understanding of our limitations, and the sacrifices that need to be made. for the greater good; for the kingdom. ❞

@vi0lnt asked: " DO YOU BELIEVE IN FATE ? DESTINIES ... PROPHECIES ? "

it's a hard question. dean doesn't know what sam's looking for in his answer, and in all honesty dean himself doesn't quite know how he feels about the subject. it's complicated, nuanced, far from black and white and the hunter finds it incredibly uncomfortable. gaze flickers over at brother in the passenger seat of impala as they make their way down another road, to another destination, to another case. the never-ending cycle of repetition, the one that simultaneously gives dean a sense of familiarity, and which drives him crazy. he keeps hands on steering wheel steady even though they feel like they want to shake. ❝ i think we make our own fate, ❞ dean says finally, knowing he can't avoid the question forever. ❝ all of that destiny stuff ― it's a load of bullshit. what would be the point if all we did was follow some preordained orders ? ❞
