Probably easier if he isn't around.

...I'm sorry.

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

For what?

You.. haven't done anything you need to apologize for.

[tu-er-shen.livejournal.com]

Yes. I overreacted with the flower. I apologize.

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

I just.. don't want to make you angry again. Or hurt you again. Or.. anything.

But I seem to be horrible at avoiding that. So it's probably best if.. you leave me alone. I'll still do it, I promise.

A moment of hesitation, before he begins to speak. Is it your wish to perform this sacrifice, Ku Wei of Fuzhou?

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

He seemed to consider this for a moment, but then he nodded.

Yes.

I should have done it long ago.

He drew a thin, shaky breath.

It's the least I can do. A life for a life... The principle of it seems so simple now.

[tu-er-shen.livejournal.com]

Are you saying this because it is what you want, or what you fear I may do?

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

Because it is what I want.

I spent a lifetime wondering if there was a way to atone for what I had done, and I've been shown what I can do.

[tu-er-shen.livejournal.com]

What if.....

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

What if.. what?

I deserve this. You deserve this.

It's the one thing I can do right for you, Tianbao...

[tu-er-shen.livejournal.com]

I'm not so sure about that, anymore.

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

I don't know why not.

I've done everything else wrong.

[tu-er-shen.livejournal.com]

So a death would make it right. Balance things out. Even if the death isn't wanted any longer.

Who? Hu? *blinks, then starts to laugh*

Re: locked from Hu

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

Yes, from Tianbao.

Stares slightly, not quite sure what's being laughed at.

Re: locked from Hu

[cantbewithhim.livejournal.com]

*keeps laughing, a bit manic really as he lights a cigarette*

Why dontcha want'im her'?

Re: locked from Hu

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

..He seriously considered backing away, but he didn't just yet.

Because I'm always doing something to make him upset or angry.

Re: locked from Hu

[cantbewithhim.livejournal.com]

*waves his hand haphazardly, staving off his laughter for now as he takes a nice long drag*

M'sorry there, Wei. Migh' be a bit pissed.

Re: locked from Hu

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did get the impression you were not entirely yourself, Ennis.

Re: locked from Hu

[pastwrongs.livejournal.com]

I can certainly understand that. It's good to know you're enjoying yourselves.

Re: locked from Hu

[cantbewithhim.livejournal.com]

Sometimes the quiet ones open up around one another.

Yes, I'm sure that helps!
