Running's a problem, not the solution.

*later has come!*

I ran from Alaska...

[guriel]

[Sighing.] Not the same thing, Les. And anyway, it's . . . this is just me thinking out loud about stuff. And I don't want to make it into something you carry around or try'n fix for me, okay?

I've found fighting rarely works, though. Usually I just end up bleeding.

[guriel]

Well, so do I. Bleeding's how you know you're still alive.

[She flinches guiltily, knowing her own habit of running.]

I'm staying in town at least until Thanksgiving. I'll give you that, see how it goes.

[guriel]

[That gets her a wince of Guriel's own, because oops, not the runner he was talking about. Even if hey, his opinion is still the same.] Sorry. Thinking out loud, is all.

But I'm glad. Really glad. That you're staying.

"Frustrated are we, brother of mine?"

[guriel]

[Gah! What is up with the Fallen and sneaking up on him, really now. :|]

Your concern is touching. Really.

I feel like I've had this conversation recently, only less obviously.

[guriel]

Did it give you the kind of sensation that would be a headache if your species got headaches, too?

[count-of-d.livejournal.com]

Meaning Siobhan, are we?

[guriel]

. . . yeeeeeees and also do I know you?

[werewolf-hacker.livejournal.com]

Well, and there's "picking your battles" and "strategic retreat."

I take it we're not talking about either of those.

[guriel]

Hell if I know, bro. Near's I can tell we're just talking about straight up running from a solvable problem.

[leon-orcderp.livejournal.com]

Dunno. I know plenty of times when running's way better than the option.

[guriel]

Running specifically from a problem that has solutions, though?

[hired-for-m.livejournal.com]

What do you feel when you walk in Siobhan's house, Guriel?

[guriel]

Nothing I haven't seen wiped out of a hundred other places.

[non-permaneo.livejournal.com]

A solution I've used often.

Granted it hasn't always worked. A difficult habit to break.

[guriel]

That's what makes it a problem. When it gets to be habit so that you don't even look for the better way.

[Guriel . . . may be talking more to Dad than anyone else at this point. It's this, or punch a wall, and he's trying to be good.]

Yeah... Guriel somethings I know I should just run from. I'm not a real angel remember? So Run get help then help kick butt right?

[guriel]

[He grins crookedly.] Retreat and regroup's a whooooole different strategy than "run from everything", honey. And yeah. Run get help, then kick butt. It's a good, solid plan.
