"This is good...now I have to wait to have an opportunity to say it," She smiled, nodding.

"I'm sure that one will come up," I laugh. "And you know, you might actually sound more profound if you say it at a time when it doesn't seem to entirely fit the situation. That way whoever you're talking to will have to really puzzle out your reasons for saying it and what you meant by it."

She laughed, "I'm definitely going to try that."

"Please do, it's pretty amusing," I say, grinning.

"I think you're a bad influence," She laughed, "Encouraging me to rebel and confuse people and such..."

I laugh slightly, shaking my head. "Yeah, I guess I am," I say quietly, picking up one of the grass knots again and staring at it.
"You were a bad influence, you bastard, and now he's fucking dead! I hope you're fucking happy."
Slight laugh. "Well, I guess that I should learn to keep my mouth shut. You were a bad influence in that regard, Fitzy."

She looked to the ground beside her, not sure what she'd said wrong this time, "Sorry."

I look up and shake my head, smiling very slightly. "No, you... I'm sorry. You aaccidentally triggered a few bad memories, that's all. Not your fault."

She smiled weakly, sympathetically, "Sorry."

I shake my head. "No big deal. I... well, I did deserve it the one time. Other..." I frown slightly.
"Hypothetical question here that's really not actually hypothetical," I say, deciding I trust her judgment enough to ask. "If you teach somebody something that later gets them in trouble because they used it rather stupidly, is it your fault that they're dead?"
There's a hint of desperation in my voice that I hadn't intended to be there, and I realize only after I say it that I'm being a little more specific to the facts of the case than I intended. But it's a little too late to put the words back in my mouth.

The question takes her by surprise, and she thinks for a moment, "I shouldn't think so. Well, as long as you didn't know said person would use it rather stupidly...and had no intention of them doing so, of course it's not your fault."

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Nov 17, 2007 18:12:16 GMT
I nod repeatedly, looking down at my hands. "Even... even if it's something that you never should have taught them? Where there really isn't any non-stupid use for it?" I shake my head. "I... never mind. It's not.... I shouldn't be burdening you with this, or whatever."

"No, no, it's fine. Everyone mistakes, if you didn't intend for them to use it stupidly and...subsequently die, then you're not at fault."

I nod. "Kind of hard to accept that you may be telling the truth, when it's what I want to hear...." I smile very slightly. "But thanks. Maybe you're right."

"It's just my opinion, neither true nor false," She shrugged, "If it makes it easier to accept."

"Well... correct, then, I don't know." I shrug. "Opinions can be right or wrong. Just hard to determine conclusively which." I shake my head. "And I guess that I believe it's not my fault. I certainly never intended for him to be that stupid." I shake my head again. "Still guilt, though." I shrug.

"That's how you're supposed to feel when someone dies, everyone does, even if you couldn't possibly be responsible."

I nod. "Most of the time I just want to beat the hell out of him for being so stupid.... I suppose that's normal, too, though. What kind of moron walks into a room and curses someone without knowing who it is?" I shake my head. "Sorry, I'm venting again."

"It's alright, feel free to vent."

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Nov 17, 2007 22:30:42 GMT
I shrug. "Don't really need to, it's all right."

"Okay then, if you're sure."

I nod, beginning to decapitate my grass-knots again. "I'm sure. It's fine," I shrug.

She nodded, deciding not to say anything. She didn't have much to contribute anyway.

I nod yet again, destroying the grass and trying to think of something else to talk about.

"Awkward silence..." She smiled awkwardly.

"Just a little," I grin slightly. "Um... so. What is there to talk about?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Rose Eden on Nov 17, 2007 23:20:50 GMT
"I don't really know, this is the longest conversation I've had in a while," She laughed slightly.
|
|
|
|
Post by Fitzy Patricks on Nov 17, 2007 23:31:22 GMT
I laugh. "I have had a lot of conversations lately. Think I've talked more the last three weeks than in the first ten years of my life combined, and almost as much as the last seven."
|
|

|
Post by Rose Eden on Nov 17, 2007 23:33:42 GMT
She laughed, "Wow, very talkative recently then, or just not very talkative before."

"Both, really," I shrug. "I was the kind of kid who skulked around and killed things while glaring at everyone I met... didn't really have any friends until I came to Hogwarts, so there was no reason to talk." I shrug again. "How about you?"
