0119: And More Loss

Mat's gone.

He went out for a ride and didn't come back and didn't contact me or anything, so I went to the Hall and he's really, really gone. I guess the horse went with him because she didn't come back either.

I... I don't know what to do. All my house is memories of Mat and Tony. Part of me wants to go away and leave it and never come back again and another part wants never to leave it even for a minute because maybe there they'll stay more real.

Who will hold me when I sleep at night and make me feel safe and tell me I'm special? I loved Mat so very very much, more than I ever dared tell him.

I feel... I feel very small and lost.

[She held out another treat for Rex, watching him with awe.]

I can hear what people think sometimes.

[She dropped her hand and looked rather shy.]

I try not to, but sometimes I do accidentally. And I can hear animals too sometimes.

[He grins, that's cool.]

That's cool! It's like, your superpower or somethin'

[She tilts her head, looking at him curiously.]

Cool? Really.

I... gosh, I don't think it's a superpower or something. Those are for heros and important people, not people like me.

[He's smiling and nodding, entering geek mode, beware...]

Oh, it totally is like the X-Men, or that fishy guy from Hellboy, Abe. Or Aquaman... well, not him with people so much, but sea creatures, yeah.

It's totally a superpower.

[Now she was looking at him wide-eyed and astonished.]

But I'm just Rain!

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Rain with a superpower. Super Rain!

[He considers, that kinda sucks.]

Maybe not that, but maybe I can think of somethin' better for later.

[She's shaking her head.]

Just Rain. Nothing else, nothing super.

Suit yourself.

[But he was totally going to be up late considering her options. Why couldn't he have superpowers... or, just... power - 'stead of being like he was, he could be cool like Stephen.]

You like Rex? Was he a good surprise?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded and managed a small smile.]

He was a very good surprise, Connor. Thank you.

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, you struck me as th' type.

[He thought about what he said for a minute.]

The, um, type that liked cute animals, I mean.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I like all kinds of animals.

[Her voice was earnest.]

Even if they're not cute. But I do like Rex. I've never seen anything like him before.

No one 'as - he's extinct. His kind died out millions of years ago.

[She looked sad.]

Is he very lonely?

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Connor paused.]

I dunno. Doesn't seem it. Always flyin' around the flat, playin' with Abby. Seems okay to me.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She considered that, biting her lip a little.]

Well... okay, then.

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Innit? He? He sayin' something I don't know?

[Now Connor's worried, not only did he accidently kidnap Rex to a pocket dimension, but he made the little bugger unhappy. Abby was going to KILL him.]

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
No, oh no.

[Now she was worried she'd upset him.]

No, he didn't say anything. I guess I was just thinking how I'd feel.

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, well...

[Connor scratched his head.]

Guess I'd be pretty sad, all alone with none of my mates around. But... he's made new mates. Me an' Abby, her other pet lizards...

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
He does seem happy.

[Rain's voice was cautious as she tried to see if the little guy was okay. He seemed to be.]

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he just needs more time playin' with someone like you.

[Connor smiled.]

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes went wide again.]

Oh, I don't know. I like him, but he likes you best.

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He brightens.]

He does? That's... right nice to hear.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.]

He definitely does.

[identity profile] itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com 2009-12-11 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Awww...

[He grabbed one of the treats, and tossed in the air for Rex to catch.]

You're pretty cool, too, Rex.

[Rain gave a small smile as she watched them play.]
