093: Accidental Video Post

[livingmyths]

[[After directing Harry as to where to find Thomas, Rain had done as Thomas and 'Mana had asked and gone deep into the woods to hide. She tucked herself away in a hollow beside a rock, half burying herself in leaves, unaware that her Network device had begun broadcasting from on top of her backpack where she'd left it, letting anyone who cared to watch Rain as the exhaustion and fear of the past two days caught up with her and she slowly drifted into sleep.

It continued to broadcast as she slept, catching her restlessness and occasional murmurings throughout the night.]]

You're impossible.

*sigh*

It would make you happier if I tried to find my way home in the dark just so you wouldn't have to worry about me being hungry?

I can if you really want me to, I guess.

[prodigalvampire]

No, it's fine. Sleep. I was smiling.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'm really very comfortable here.

It's nicer than lots of the places I slept back home.

Besides... home's lonely.

[prodigalvampire]

Why is home lonely? What about Mat?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Mat's not there now. He has to help a friend for a while.

[prodigalvampire]

I'm sorry to hear that...that came out wrong.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[prodigalvampire]

I'm sorry to hear that home is lonely because Mat isn't there, but I'm not sorry that he's helping a friend.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Me too. For both.

But it's okay. I always used to be alone - except for when there were little kids to take care of.

Funny how you get used to having someone around.

[prodigalvampire]

...so that explains why I actually miss all the Dean Koontz novels.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

...

Maybe I'm too sleepy, but I didn't understand that at all.

[prodigalvampire]

I...Harry. I used to live with him. Rabid Dean Koontz fan.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhh!

All right.

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah, he flipped when ... this girl and I trashed his book collection.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You... you wrecked his books? Thomas!

[prodigalvampire]

Look, we didn't mean to! She was just...really full of...energy, and...look, I apologized already, okay?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh! You mean when - oh!

Gosh.

Thom-as...

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah, when exactly.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

At Harry's house?!?

Oh, gosh, I'm all blushing.

[prodigalvampire]

It was back home and...we sort of borrowed his bed, but it's the only one in the place!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Thomas!!

Oh, that's so bad!

[prodigalvampire]

I insist I was not in control of my actions.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

Did Harry believe that?

[prodigalvampire]

Uh, well, no...
