[ Ah... that was easier than he thought it'd be. It shows how much he expects from people lately. But he will not complain, even if he was ready to actually say please if Faith refused... Oh well.

Unlike her, however, he's not in a very good place. Not to say he hasn't come to terms that Kate is alive and well, but that hardly is just the tip of the iceberg, he's thrown away everything he had worked towards so far, and he doesn't want it back. But Kate had asked him to do this, and maybe, it was something he wanted to do as well.

Shadow waits for her, impatiently, he's got only so much time before Henry decides to track him down again after all. She may easily spot him—he's the black and red hedgehog!—actually sitting on one of those tall stools at the bar. A glass filled with an amber drink rests in front of him.

He's been wondering for the past ten minutes if he's going to need it or not... ]

[ He looks at her briefly, then back at his drink, which he pokes. He gives a silent sight—here goes nothing. ]

I have been informed that you have... feelings and that I probably have hurt them.

[ ... That's a start. ]

It was the truth... Was it not?

[ Nasty or not, they could have done much more. After he says that, he shakes his head quickly as if scolding himself. ]

Ah--I'm not... [ good at this... Yeah, he needs the help. He downs the contents of his glass and grimaces at it. This is hard, Faith, please be patient. ]

I suppose I should apologise for that too.

[ He's trying. Trying counts, right? ]

[ What are you talking about? He is a tough hedgehog!

See him looking up at her, then giving another little sigh, this is hard! ]


I'm sorry if what I said hurt your feelings.

[ There it goes! ... Wait, that doesn't sound quite right. ]

[ Score!... ? Yeah, it works. From now on he shall apologize that way, forever. It wasn't so hard!

Then why doesn't he feel any better?

Maybe because what she says doesn't feel right either.

He did try. That's all he's ever done, try. ]


I--

[ He what? Gosh, everything about that day is just a big blur. He was so awfully tired and being stubborn about it. But he does remember Kate's dead (literally) weight in his arms, he does remember Faith's expression at the sight, one he wishes he could forget. The anger and pain in her eyes... in was just unbearable to watch. He could have done much more, or simply, do nothing at all. He could have, in fact, swallowed his pride and not try to play hero. He's never been one, anyway, he's not like Sonic. ]

I did not.

[ Just as Faith had said, she doesn't know what he has to deal with; it was never just about Kate. He wishes it was that easy, to see the world in such positive way and to forget about the ghosts of the past.

But he's not there yet, and in all truth, he doesn't know when he'll be, if ever.

So, he simply nods, then motions whoever is in charge of the bar to refill his glass. ]


Anything else?

[ He doesn't look up at Faith, but it's obvious he's addressing her. He apologized, that's it, right? ]

[personal profile] chaoscontroller 2016-11-07 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's all they are going to get out of this. He cannot understand why she's smiling, but if that makes her happy... Then everything might actually be fine, no matter what he feels, really. When has that mattered anyway? The sole person who ever cared no longer exists.

He observes as she leaves and stays at the bar for a couple of drinks more before he realizes that he doesn't want to deal with another hangover ever again. ]
