"Thanks." I mumble into the table.

"No problem." I say. "Why get drunk anyways? You'll suffer in the morning."

I shrug. "I don't care about the morning right now."
I rummage in my pocket for my lighter, then remember I left it in my dorm. "Wouldn't happen to have a lighter, would you?"

I look in my bag and pull out a box of matches. I toss it to him. "Here."

"Cheers." I mutter, lighting a cigarette and propping my head up on my hand to look at her. "So, what brings you in here?"

"Relaxing after working on the case." I opened my bag. "I've made more notes." I hand him a notebook. "Remus has one too."

"Thanks." I say, tucking it into my jacket pocket. "I won't read it now. I don't think I can read now, too blurry."
I turn around to breathe out the smoke so it didn't go in her face.
"Can I-...Can I ask you something?" I say, turning back to face her and immediately dropping my gaze.

"If someone, not me, but if you'd known someone for-...well, forever, for as long as you can remember, and you were...emotionally attatched to the person, not in love, I don't think that exists, but as emotionally attatched as you can get to another person, and they did something-...so bad, so very bad they couldn't be forgiven, what would you do?" I ask, looking firmly at the table, hands shaking slightly.

"You mean some one you really really care for or are attached to did something very very bad? If it was towards you, I would try to understand their side and see if they could be forgiven, but if it isn't towards you it's all about if you can live with it.
For example if Remus cheated on me, I wouldn't forgive him until he told me why. If the reason is just i don't know and that i just did it then no. But if it was i was under a spell and it was a mistake then yes. But if Remus killed some one it's my duty to stay next to him because I promised myself through thick and thin I would no matter what." I explain trying to word things right. "Does that make sense?"

"Yes," I say. "But, what if the thing she-...I mean, the person did, was very bad, and it had a particular personal importance to you, but-...Oh fuck it. Jo's a death eater." I moan. "Jo joined the side that killed my sister. What do I do?"

"I can't tell you what to do Mika. I'm only here for advise." I say pushing the cup of fire whiskey away. I barely touched it. "She didn't kill your sister though. Like I said get her side first and then see if you can or can't."

"I tried to get her side. She told me she didn't have to explain herself to me, kicked me where it hurts and ran off." I sigh. "I really shouldn't of shouted at her. I'm such an idiot."

"I'm horrible. I didn't mean-...I feel so guilty, Rin. I didn't mean to hurt her. She kept saying 'Mika, you're hurting me' and I wouldn't let her go and..." I bang my head against the table again. "I'm an asshole, I'm the worst asshole that ever graced the earth."

"No you aren't." I say nicely. "You were just in the moment and were kinda pissed." I smile. "You weren't thinking, but you aren't an asshole for it."

"I am." I moan. "Violent too. I've never been violent before. Scared myself, let alone her. Paid for it though. Got kicked where it's most painful and she ran away and I haven't seen or spoken to her since."

Post by Michael Watkins on Apr 29, 2007 9:52:26 GMT
"I meant that-...I meant that I want to help, but I can't until she lets me. And that-...I want to know why she did it. And that I'm not going to let her die, and that I'd rather die than she did. But she doesn't believe me. Apparently I'm a coward who's just trying to save his own skin. That's what she told Yuri. I'm a coward who's just trying to save his own skin." I snort bitterly.

"You're not. Just remember words are just words. They hurt sometimes, but overall they don't."

"For your own sake then quit drinking, Kia wouldn't want to see you like this." I say. "As I said to Remus. All your prosecutors have never been in your shoes they're all in the gallery smugly dispensing the smart, but more or less cliche. So what if you are who you are, you were the one who got hurt the most even if you're trying to protect some one you care for."

"I guess." I say miserably, pushing the firewhiskey away from me. "Here, get it away from me."

"Yeah. And I'm full of shit." I say. "And I'm being an ass and drinking myself to death. And it's not fair, and I'm sorry." I say the last part very quietly, not really speaking to her, just saying it in general.

I laugh. "Mika, you're kinda like a brother to me and I don't want to see you hurt." I say with a smile. "So everything happens for a reason and if you need some one to talk to you always have me."
