[ never wished any misfortune? never? embry finds that difficult to believe, but maybe it's because tim religiously (heh) reads his bible and lets hawk fuck him on the regular. not that different from ash, except ash is the one doing the fucking.
he feels a little pang of guilt, when he thinks about how ash hasn't really touched his bible since embry got back. ]
