nicest of them all so far (scnglessā)
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āThey donāt care about your apologies. As awful as it might sound, you are not going anywhere until they generouslyĀ decide you are free to go.ā Something Finn himself has little say in, not that he very much cares about the man in front of him. He just hopes they will not kill him ā or drink from him. That would be a disturbing image. āThey need to make sure you will not return; Elijah is too important to have someone looking just like him running around.ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Does Finn sound sarcastic? Perhaps a bit. Truthfully, he doesnāt even know why Kieran is still there.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āWhoever she is, you should hope she will not come for you.ā Finn finally looks at him and takes in HOW TIRED the man seems ā there is something about his exhaustion, the sadness with which he says the word HER, that feels familiar. For whatever reason, it makes Finn think about Sage. āThey would use her against you.ā Not that they need to go that far, not when they are holding all the cards; but his brothers have always loved their games. āYou will be there for a while, Kieran. Perhaps you should consider getting some sleep.ā The human surely seems to be in need of it.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā THAT brought a humourless chuckle from Kieran.Ā āReminds me of someone.ā While he was sure - actually not at all - that these people didnāt have a secret torture laboroty hidden somewhere, the IDEA that he wasnāt allowed to leave until someone else gave him permission, holding him here with FORCE, well, it wasnāt hard for Kieranās mind to jump to another man in a suit. He wondered if Zavier and this Elijah would get along - then he decided, no. They would not. They would not like the other being in charge.Ā āThen why not tell me to leave and never return? I assure you, even without this compulsion, I would be glad to do so.āĀ
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā But the answer was simple.Ā āThe reason your brother has not let me go yet is clear to me. Iām an ODDITY. Heās curious. I cannot blame that, though I can blame the way he handles that curiosity. At least it is better than how my former employer handles his.ā another bitter chuckle, but then Kieran frowned and looked up at the man; āHe is not planning to experiment on me, right?ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā But he drops his head again, and shook his head.Ā āAt least that is one concern I donāt have.ā Leslie would not be coming for him. Before - perhaps, yes, if he had taken too long to check in. She would have searched for him, but now - she would have no idea if he was in danger. A ghost of a smile appears on his face, as the thought passes through of Leslie kicking all their asses. While heās not certain she actually could - in his mind? There was NOTHING that could stop her.Ā āWhat better time to sleep than when one is held prisoner?ā He was utterly exhausted, and on some level he knew he needed sleep - but he did not want to NOW, not in unfamiliar territory. Though at some point, he would no longer have any say in the matter, and his body would make him sleep.Ā āI donāt think I got your name.ā
