If anyone's looking for me, I'm just going to be going away for a little bit. I'm fine, I just need, I just need to be away.



I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to work for you. Sorry.





He dumped me, Shal. After all this, he dumped me.

You aren't avoiding me, are you? I'm sorry I said all that yesterday, Mercy.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I... no. I mean, yes, part of why I wanted to get away for a bit yesterday was to let you have some space from me, but no, I thought... I thought things were okay where we left them.

I just...

Yeah, well... he dumped me. And I just... you have enough to deal with without, without me. And I... I just need to find a quiet place to lick my wounds, I guess.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

What do you mean he dumped you?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's done. We're over. He doesn't want to see me again, not even as a friend.

Says it's to protect me, of course, but the end result is the same.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Protect you from what? Mercy...are you sure he's not just cursed?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

From himself. From killing me slowly, from doing to me what he did to Justine, from... doesn't matter. He doesn't want to see me ever again.

No. It's not a curse. I wish... Doesn't matter.

I was stupid to think I could ever be involved with someone. It always turns out badly. It's why I haven't done anything for the past ten years.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Was he killing you? Mercy...I thought he could control that. If you weren't safe he should never have put you in that position in the first place.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

He wasn't. He just seems to think that over time...

Kyle... it just hurts so much right now.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

If this is because of me, I'll talk to him. He'd better have a good explanation.

I did tell him that if he hurt you I would use the knife skills Goodfellow taught me.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's not.

And don't. Don't hurt him.

Just... don't tell me you told me so, even though I deserve it.

Just let it be.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Well none of this is adding up.

And I at least get to punch him in the stomach. It's in the guy code.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

He seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time.

Don't. It's not worth it.

I'm not worth it.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

He also seemed to care enough about you to snap at me yesterday, so I don't think that's it.

And it would be very worth it.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Said he cares too much.

Just don't get yourself hurt, okay. He's incredibly strong.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

I won't be hurt, Mercy. But I am going to find out what's wrong with him, don't worry.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Kyle...

Never mind.

Can you make sure Medea has enough food and water? I promise I won't be gone too long, but I couldn't bring her.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Of course. She can chase Rhosyn around the living room.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she'll like that.

Thanks, Kyle.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Take care of yourself, Mercy.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Of course.
