Lunamor she/her Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 9 minutes ago, Weaver of Lights said: He smiled as she moved closer, happy to be with her. Everything was working out. You don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve her. You don’t deserve to be feeling this way. You shouldn’t be. You should be hurting. He released her, bowing his head. He couldn’t be happy. It wasn’t right. Jenny was confused. She knew that Edgar didn’t lie, so he had meant what he said to her. Why was he acting like this? Was he still feeling guilty about something? He wasn’t in pain, the gorgon blood had taken care of that. She wanted to help him, but nothing seemed to be working. Normally she would’ve tried hugging him, but he didn’t seem to want that. ”Edgar, what’s wrong?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked down further. “I shouldn’t be happy.” “That’s not fair, Edgar. I know I’ve already said this, but I will say it again and again until you understand it. You are a good person. Good people deserve to be happy.” She paused for a moment, thinking. ”Is there anything worse than murdering someone you can point to as a reason you shouldn’t be happy? Worse than being on the edge of violently snapping and doing it again?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People care about you, so they do things for you. You build me a blowgun and I punch Roy’s face.” She poked Edgar’s forehead. “And right now I can say for a fact that you’ve caused more healing than harm with me. I know that hasn’t been the case with other people sometimes, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to stay like that forever.

It was as futile an effort as it always was. She nodded, deciding to drop the conversation for now. She then proceeded to stand there awkwardly. Jenny wanted to move closer again, have him hold her in his arms. But she had no idea if it was an ok time for that. They probably needed to leave, too, but she felt rather frozen in place. She spoke, her words a bit slow as she carefully chose them. ”Do you think we should start traveling again or rest for a while longer?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to hold her, but he didn’t, for a multitude of reasons. She wasn’t safe with him. He would probably hurt her somehow. And after that conversation…it would probably just be weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it probably couldn’t hurt to tell him. ”It says you believe that I’m weak. It wants me to show you that I’m not, I think.” She looked at her previously bloodstained hands.

Jenny didn’t believe Roy, but not because of his reaction- it went unnoticed, as usual. She just didn’t trust him because that was what she defaulted to when it came to Roy. ”Okay…” She stared at him for a moment more, then shook her head and grabbed a stick. She dragged it through the dirt, creating a decent picture of a cricket. Unlike the bird with the snapped neck, this bug was completely headless.

They’re easy to draw, too, since they’re based off of creatures I’ve reanimated. I have a real-world reference.” Jenny smiled slightly, remembering Roy’s reaction to her let down hair. ”You get spooked pretty easily.” She decided to give the cricket unsettlingly long legs. Jenny remembered how Edgar had appreciated similar drawings and smiled wider, but it slipped into a frown after a moment. She didn’t know if Edgar still liked her weirdness or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She proudly admired it, satisfied with her work. She’d already managed to get dirt all over her clean clothes, but she didn’t notice. She glanced over at Edgar to see if he was still there and found that he was smiling. That was probably good, so she smiled too.

This one had broken wings, but the legs were a normal length this time. She was oddly determined to finish it, so she completed it quite quickly. She sat back for a moment. It was missing something. She added a little heart between the two. “He also needs a name.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
