-–✗ { ♠ ✞ ♠ } She’d roll her eyes, arms crossed over her chest.  ❝ Really? It’s literally just one cigarette butt are you really gonna make that big a deal–?❞  
       And a relenting sigh would leave her. It seemed she just couldn’t win here, even when she was just trying to relax. ❝ Fine, fine, you win. I’m sure the planet thanks you. And I can pick up my own trash, thank you very much.❞ She muttered, bending down to retrieve the discarded butt. Perhaps it wouldn’t kill her to relax a little bit.  

Delsin watched as she picked up the cigarette butt, relieved that she didn’t seem too upset with him. “You know, I’d tell you smoking’s bad for you,” he said, knowing full well that him making such a commentary would be met with more annoyance. He was quick to defuse that idea by going on to say, “But I’m literally made of smoke sometimes, so I can’t really talk.”

She grunts, shaking her head out.  “I don’t make much sense as it is. Don’t blame yourself for not understanding me.” 
The harsh tone doesn’t stick at all. “What do you think I was doing while I was gone? You act like I murdered a hundred people or something.”

He shrugs. Truth be told, he doesn’t know what to say. She’s been gone so long; part of him doesn’t even WANT to say anything. But he’s not that kind of person. “Well, I mean. I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what you did while you were gone. The problem is you left. Just, gone, without a good-bye.”

                  ❝ —- is it that obvious?
                  ❝ i’m just trying to find my aunt’s apartment.                   she couldn’t meet me at the airport, and my uber                   driver was a total skeeze, so i just.. rolled out of                   the car, essentially. are you good with directions? ❞

I mean, it’s no big deal. I’ve been there, sneakin’ looks at my phone’s GPS and stuff. Anyway, I’m not great with directions but if you tell me what neighborhood she’s in, I can at least show you how to get there. And maybe we can figure the rest out from there.”

“… Jesus, you don’t just fucking ask people what’s wrong with their faces. But I ain’t sick, just waaaay more menacing lookin’ than my goody two shoe’d opposite. 
How’s Seattle on your end? Filled with rainbows and damn unicorns?”

Sheesh, sorry.” And he does sound somewhat sheepish at having scolded. Still, it’s the questions about Seattle that make his brow furrow, and Delsin can’t help but scoff. “C’mon. Of course it didn’t. I mean, I let the Conduits outta Curdun Cay, but there’s still a long way to go.” A pause. “It’s not like yours is so bad, right?”

She just looks tired - dragging a grimy, smoky hand up her forearm to shove her sleeve back up.
“I did.” Pan pauses - not entirely sure how to reply.  “You two have each other - I don’t exactly fit into that equation.”

What? You can’t be friends with both of us while we’re friends with each other? Too hard for you?” His tone is harsher than it means to be. “Just doesn’t make sense.”

-–✗ { ♠ ✞ ♠ }  ❝ Oh my god– look buddy, I appreciate the whole Captain Planet spiel, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve had a pretty bad day so far. So, I’d appreciate it if you got off my back fairly quick, that’d be one less person. ❞

Uh... woah. My bad.”

He pauses like he’s about to ask if she’s all right, but instead goes on to say, “But seriously, are you gonna pick that up? ‘Cause I will if you’re not.”
