047: Scared

[livingmyths]

Something's wrong. I don't know what, but the clocks are dead and there's something in the wind and... it's just wrong. Like bad wrong.

And I'm scared.

I want to be home safe in my house where I can see the stars, but it's dark and I'm afraid to leave the library.

You'll be safer there. Something is wrong.

The stars would want you safe too. Just remember that.

Then it's not just me being a scaredy-cat?

The stars? I don't think the stars care if I'm safe or not!

But, you know? I like thinking that they do.

They do, Rain.

I promise I won't go anywhere. You don't have to worry about me.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm glad.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

And you won't go out either?

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

I'm safe. And I'll stay safe.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

That's not the same thing as what I asked.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

I'm heading inside. I was already outside when you asked that.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. I just... I want you to be safe.

I'd be very upset if anything happened to you.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

I won't let anything happen to me.

All right then. Thank you.
