[For Henry, the past month has been rougher than any other in recent memory. Confessing to the only person in this wretched place he is comfortable calling a friend that she'd been keeping intimate company with a vampire was more emotionally trying than he expected. But that paled in comparison to a week spent living--finding himself with a pulse for the first time in four and a quarter centuries--and then having it taken away again.]

Surely I'm not the only one who'd rather our personal timelines never sorted themselves out.

[Charlie's answering grin is tight: half completely pleased with himself and half absolutely sheepish about the whole matter.]

You could say that. But the circumstances aren't really the thing, mate. Anyway, what was so cheery about-- well first thing's first. Did you go forward or backward?

Christ, that bleak is it? [Because while Exsilium isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world - he's a plenty good imagination and can think of any number of things less pleasant than having to share a flat with two other people and fight a war he doesn't really care about that he nonetheless can't die in -, it's certainly not at the top of his list of fun things to do.] Sounds like you need to pare down and simplify, mate.

[Sounds like grounds for one hell of a drinking problem, mate.]

Ah. See there, now I better understand the love of Kafka. [Not that there's much to dislike about the author, but still.] Anyway, time travel being what it is here, I'm not sure there's much to be done about anything in our specific time lines -- recent events notwithstanding, of course.

[Sounds like a challenge.]

Grass looks greener when the fence is actually possible to jump. [Oh believe that he knows that feeling. Possibility - it's an appealing thing all right.]

You know what you need, mate? A distraction.

Book club? [It's a joke, a bad one. Mostly. Charlie's quick to wave it off with an absent gesture of the hand and a quick grin.]

But seriously, you need to get active. Personally I find punching something does wonders for clearing the head; d'you know anything about boxing?
alittlesweptup: (no but really)

Got it in one. [He grins - because it was a hard guess, wasn't it? - and spreads his hands in good humor.]

Well if you know a thing or two, then I'll teach you thing number three and four and then instead of sulking you can try to get past my defense. I'll even swear not to hit you too hard. [Scout's honor.]

Done deal then! [And he looks terribly pleased about it.] When's a good time for you? I wouldn't want to cut into the hours you've got set aside for doing your hair.

[Ah yes, petty insults. It must be friendship.]
