I don't really want to do this, but...

 "Thanks for meeting me here..." Ignacia forced a smile. She sat atop her favorite rock, "Ol' Thinky", she secretly called it. Her bags were placed next to the oversized stone. Fiero rested in Ignacia's lap; he stared sadly at the lake. She looked to the redheaded teen standing by her. "Would you like to sit with me, or are you fine?" She let out a

Silver had received a text awhile ago, asking for Ignacia to meet him at "their usual spot". He was getting tired of all these frequent goodbyes, although he knew that he couldn't deny something anymore, not to himself.

He stared out at the water when he walked up to her, the sound of his footsteps just enough to alert her to his presence. He had his hands in his pockets. "I'm fine," he said curtly, referring to standing off to the side and staring out at the lake.

As she spoke, he stared out at the lake even more, refusing to even so much as look at Ignacia as she started on her goodbye.
"Are you certain that you're going this time?" he asked her. He could never tell with her.

"I... Well, you're really the only thing keeping me here. It's not like you didn't know that, though..." She sighed again. "I'm not like you. I can't drop everything and move on as easily. My sister Silvia did something like this a while ago... She left when she had a problem, and when she sorted it out, she seemed to be better..."

Ignacia watched the waves gently make their way to the bank. "Sorry for all the prep goodbyes. I'm just taking in as much time as possible before Corina expects me..."

"Will you miss me?"

[sonoftrouble]

Yeah, he could drop off the face of the earth whenever he wanted and he knew that nobody would really miss him, outside of Ignacia. Sure, Blue and Gold would say that they'd miss him, but unless he disappeared under suspicious circumstances, he was fairly certain that only Ignacia would send him texts every now and then, asking for where he was.
That said, he sometimes would wish that someone would miss him. Not that he'd ever admit it, of course.

"Miss you?" he said in a half-laugh. That was a good question, one he could know the answer to for certain, but admitting it to her? She'd just giggle and want to stay forever at his side. The thought annoyed him, to have to always be watching out for her and not being able to do what he wanted, when he wanted.
"I doubt it," he lied. His expression was intelligible.

Ignacia almost choked on a sob, but held in her emotions. "I... I see..."

Ignacia nudged Fiero from her lap and brought her knees up to her chest, hugging them close.

Fiero jumped down to visit Silver. He sat at the boy's feet, looking up at him. His eyes seemed to plead.
