[camp is so quiet that the crickets and the cows are having a rap battle with their sounds to the rousing applause of the toucans. elsewhere, people are out and about ...

what are you doing in camp tonight?]

(( night in the life post! mingle away, I am not running this. ))

Excepting the war, those would be possible problems no matter who you chose to leave with. I know this is something that's been worrying you for a long time, I don't think it's particularly impulsive for you to have decided.

[healingcock]

... I do. Less than a year ago, I was convinced I was going to leave with Raikou.

I know.

[tilts her head into that]

I don't want to get my hopes up again.

I have trouble imagining David letting someone down. Particularly someone he cares about.

[healingcock]

It's not him I'm worried about.

[necessaryevil]

...You?

[healingcock]

[shakes her head]

It's more that... there are so many things that could happen that would ruin our happiness. And there wouldn't be anything we could do about it.

[necessaryevil]

Such as being forced to leave separately?

[healingcock]

Yeah. But the thing that scares me the most is... losing our memories.

[necessaryevil]

We know it's possible to leave camp with our memories in tact.

[healingcock]

I don't count myself that lucky.

[necessaryevil]

Perhaps you should.

[healingcock]

[snorts]

And break my own heart? No thanks.

[necessaryevil]

That isn't what I meant.
