Busted lip. Does anyone know any spells for that particular affliction? I would like it to be gone entirely. I have...fifteen minutes, give or take.

Getting beat up feels wonderful to you? [He reaches out to touch her arm again.] You could really get hurt! And you can't just run over to the hospital wing and get fixed up anymore.

[Her arms aren't so bad, so she doesn't flinch away from him, just glares.] I didn't get beat up. I wasn't mugged or abused, two adults came together and decided that it would be nice to fight each other.

How bad are you hurt?

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I'm not.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Stop lying!

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I can walk and talk and breathe well enough, I'm not hurt.

Lili.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

What do you want me to tell you? That I'm sorry?

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

I want to be able to trust you.

[Interesting. How interesting that was shouldn't have been the first thing to come to mind, she is well aware, but when exactly did the tables turn? Lili used to be the one saying that very thing. When that was the case, she was terrified of both outcomes. Is he scared, too?

Lili averts her eyes, and walks around him, to take a seat on the couch.]

You can trust me. That had nothing to do with you, I don't see why it's relevant.

You said you wouldn't fight with him. You told me you'd stay safe. You lied about what happened and you're still lying to me about how bad it is.

Action

Alfred, I'm fine! A little bit of bruising does not constitute a disaster. He's the one who asked, anyway, I really wasn't going to...

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

How am I supposed to believe you? You always say you're fine even if you aren't.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Because I come prepared. Potions, and the like. Common sense, I can't get rushed to the hospital by Muggles, there would be too many questions.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

[That does make him feel a little better, actually. Just a little bit.

He walks over to the couch and sits on the back of it, facing away from her.]

I just wish you'd tell me stuff instead of lying all the time.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

[Ouch, guilt.]

I'm trying, but if you're mad at me either way, it's a little difficult.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

I'd be a lot less mad if you just said you were gonna go fight him.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, because you would have shielded the door until I lost interest.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Or come with me.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

[Well...]

I just wanna know, okay? I don't like sitting around wondering if you're ever gonna come back.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

You think I'm going to kill myself?

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

No, I think you're gonna get in over your head someday. [Again.]

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I won't. I'm not, I'm doing a lot less since I started saying that I wouldn't. This is the...second time, if we don't count the ones with you.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Then why can't you tell me about it?
