The world is changing, albeit slowly.

Not slowly enough for my tastes.

Now then, have you been following me or is this just a very irritating coincidence?

Will doesn't want to play...

[w_zimmerman]

You're the one who walked up to me, pal. This is a public park and I have every right to be here. You on the other hand belong on some kind of registry.

Obviously I didn't make this clear enough before, so let's try again. I don't want to see your face again. I have a gun and I'll use it if you make me. Fifteen bullets to the face may not be quite enough to kill you, but I'm sure it'll ruin your day.

But Ives is lonely :p

[colonelcannibal]

Technically you just happened to be close to where I was going.

It would be rather annoying, yes, but I'm hardly making you do anything. *He takes a step back, hands held away from his sides placatingly.* I have a right to be here too, hmm? I haven't hurt anyone so far, after all.

Will says that's his own fault

[w_zimmerman]

That's kind of like a child molester saying he hasn't hurt any kids yet today. They still shouldn't be around kids, and you still shouldn't be around civilians. I'm not Watson. It takes more than words to convince me of good intentions. Now get lost. I'm already a wanted terrorist. You think I won't shoot you just because there are people watching?

Ives doesn't care if it is, he still doesn't like it

[colonelcannibal]

I do occasionally need to go shopping, eh? I'm not completely self-sufficient and somehow I doubt that you'd be willing to do it for me.

In any case, I will have to walk past someone to get out of here and I'm sure you'd start trying to shoot me as soon as I move towards one of your precious civilians. Bit of a dilemma there, hmm?

[Will isn't above knne-capping the man on general principle, but he restrains himself since he doesn't want another lecture about his temper. Instead, he turns and starts off.]

Just watch yourself. These people are protected.

*Ives' fingers are twitching with the desire to stab Will in the back, but he refrains as well. It would probably set a bad precedent, and James wouldn't approve at all.*

I'm doing my best. *Which is true, since he hasn't shot anyone in weeks now.*

[w_zimmerman]

It's going to be a long time before that means a damned thing, especially given your stated attitude towards redemption.

[Will honestly wouldn't mind an attack st this point. It would give him a valid excuse to retaliate. But he just keeps walking instead, intent on keeping the peace.]

[colonelcannibal]

Redemption is rarely done for it's own sake, I'm just honest about the fact. *Ives sighs. Really, is it so hard to understand that he might want a reason for being good?

*But Will is leaving now, so he shrugs and turns away. There's stuff to buy and business to deal with, after all.*
