hymen

i cracked one of those stupid eggs open and i'm pretty sure this was meant to be yours.

[ attached is a photo of a cross necklace that looks eerily similar to the one tim had draped around ash's neck. ]

i'll drop it by your room later.

From:

holyposition

Are you sure you found that in an egg? It looks like the one I gave to Ash. He can keep it if he wants.

But you can drop by anyway. If you want. Just to visit.

From:

hymen

he doesn't need a gift for killing himself. i don't know if it's the same one, but i wouldn't put it past the weird shit that goes on here. i can check for sure whenever ash comes back. that's weird, tim. remember when you didn't like me?

From:

holyposition

A cross is a good gift for that. It'll help bring him back to God.

I remember. But we've been getting along lately, haven't we? You called me to help with Ash. You even brought me my wreath the other day. You didn't have to do that.

It was sweet of you.

From:

hymen

you're the only one worried about saving his soul.

[ ... ]

perception doesn't suit you. i owe you. a lot.

From:

holyposition

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're a decent guy deep down. Our secret.

Come say hello, then. It doesn't have to be here. It just can't be a bar. Lent.

From:

hymen

i'm really not, tim. wait, seriously? you're doing that? you're giving up drinking for forty days?

From:

holyposition

I know you like to say that.

Drinking and sex. I'd expect a call from Hawk before the weekend.

From:

hymen

no one knows me better than me. the last month didn't count as deprivation?

From:

holyposition

I don't think that's true of anyone. Is it really so bad, someone seeing something good in you?

No. It wasn't my choice, it has to be a meaningful sacrifice. And I wasn't abstaining, exactly.

From:

hymen

you'd just be giving yourself a reason to be disappointed later, which means i have to hear about it, so yes, it's really so bad. seriously? you were having sex while revenants had their dinner next door?

From:

holyposition

You're not fated to ruin everything, Embry. You have free will.

Well, not often. And only in places that were safe. But I did, yes.

From:

hymen

if it's not fate, doesn't it make it worse if i'm choosing it? i'm honestly impressed. we're starting to have too much in common.

From:

holyposition

Have you ever tried just...not choosing it?

The adrenaline got to me. But it's not the craziest thing I've done. You think I'm a prude just because I go to church?

From:

hymen

[ bitch,, ]

what did i do to make ash choose to leave me? no. the people that go to church are the biggest freaks i've ever met.

From:

holyposition

He was trying to protect you. In those circumstances, any good man would have done the same.

From you, it sounds like a compliment.

From:

hymen

i disagree with his shitty choices. i was already protecting him. well, being a freak in bed isn't exactly derogatory in my book.

From:

holyposition

I know you were doing the best you could, but they already bit his fingers off.

Are you hitting on me?

From:

hymen

no one ever died from missing some fingers. they weren't even the fingers people use for sex. yes. i am hitting on you while we talk about my dead asshole lover.

From:

holyposition

They died from the bites, you know that.

Sorry. We can talk about something else. Let me make it up to you.

From:

hymen

i would have found a way to keep him safe. you don't have anything to make up to me. i already told you, i'm the one that owes you.

From:

holyposition

If anything like this happens again, you should call me. I would have been happy to set them all on fire for you.

What are you doing right now?

From:

hymen

you mean someone dying or me fucking up? thinking about all the things i'm allowed to do that you can't.

From:

holyposition

Zombies or monsters or...whatever's next. I'd like to be able to help out before anyone actually dies, next time.

There's more to life than sex and drinking. Do you have other hobbies?

From:

hymen

i can't plan for the next crisis yet. give me another week. of course i do. snorting blow. and i do the new york times crossword every day. or i did before coming here.
