and the silence deafened.

[Riku here has been having some problems lately, and it looks like she hasn't lost all of her old habits; she still tends to train when she gets frustrated. ever since she learned the truth about Vexen, she's been having a hard time using her powers, but she's trying to change that now. she can be found in one of the lesser-visited rooms, trying to make things float and move.]

[ooc; idk, she suits my mood right now. feel free to bother her.]

[Oh look, it's your favorite person standing in the doorway. Feel free to throw a chair move a chair towards him.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

What?

[doesn't even turn towards him, still practicing.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Leans against the door frame.]

Nothing, just watching.

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

What do you care? It's not like you need my powers or anything.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

I'm curious, that's all.

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

About what?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

About how much of your powers you've gained.

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[oh, well, if that's all... just lowers the things she was practicing with back down to the ground. she's got control, just not much power to go along with it. partly because she's the younger twin, partly because trust is hard for her to fake right now.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Seems like you've gained some control... that's good.

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[flatly.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, then just puts his his hands in his pockets, strand straight now.]

... I'm assuming you know she showed up.

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

[doesn't really want to talk to him.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[He can tell.]

Well that's the only reason I stopped.

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

...what, so you can rub it in?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[... gives her a look.]

How much of an asshole do you think I am?

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[just returns the look. she knows he's not, she's just in a bad mood.]

whoops.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

... no, I didn't want to rub it in your face, I just wanted to make sure you knew.

[And he also wanted to make sure she was okay since. the last time he saw her. but he's not going to say that.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

I'd be happier not knowing.

[yes he should never mention that ever.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Why? Don't you want to know what your family is like? Or what she's like?

[What would she say/do if he did?]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

I couldn't go back to that life even if I wanted to.

[idk she'd be fucking pissed.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

I guess... but you finally have some real family here. I'd want to get to know them.

[Figures.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

I don't need a family.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

So, what, you plan on spending the rest of your life alone?

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

Chances are I'll just stay in this place until I die, or something.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Either way, if you keep this up you're spending it alone. I know how much you hate connecting with people, but at some point you're going to get sick of talking to thin air, you know.
