buy yourself another day

[impetuous]

Who: Gwaine and you
What: Random encounters
When: Saturday morning
Where: Near the gallery in town


[ Wearing modern clothing for once (sweatpants and a T-shirt that aren't his), Gwaine bounces a small, pink ball against the wall. Whenever it strikes something—wall, ground or his hand—lights arc inside it. A curious little toy, but Gwaine barely looks at it. He sits on the middle step, eyes unfocused. To any observer, his mind appears to be elsewhere. He has managed to recover a semblance of healthy coloring, but the bags under his eyes mark how fitful his sleep remains. He finds it difficult to concentrate on even simple tasks. Thus he misses his next catch and the ball bounces against the door behind him. It rolls away from him. ]

I was at the clinic a few days, but it's nothing to worry about. Look. I'm still alive.

[wilder]

[A slight pause before he smirks a little]

Heh. You idiot.

[impetuous]

Is that all you people can come up with?

[wilder]

[a shrug]

Dullard and ignoramus seems too advanced for you.

[impetuous]

[ Gwaine throws the ball at Zelos. The throw is weaker than it would be, but he can still aim. ]

[wilder]

[He catches!] Now that was just a sad throw, dude.

[impetuous]

Wait until I'm better. It'll take someone's head off.

[wilder]

Soooo....in about twenty years in that month before you start getting old and feeble? ♥

[impetuous]

Jealousy is an unattractive quality. You can't take it out on me that you don't look half as good with double the effort.

[wilder]

Heh...Did you make sure to get your vision checked out while you were at that clinic?

[impetuous]

Don't have to. Even a blind man can see I'm telling the truth.

[wilder]

[a sigh!]

Now you're just being cruel.

[impetuous]

[ Shrug. Did the lady's feelings get hurt? ]

[wilder]

[Nah, not really. He recovers soon after]

So what are you doing out here?

[impetuous]

Been staying with a friend. She owns this place.

[wilder]

Ahh. I see.

[impetuous]

How are your friends holding up?

[wilder]

Well enough. Darling Colette's already thinking up baby names for any other future kids.

[impetuous]

[ Gwaine snorts. The image he has of "darling Colette" is of a young child with dolls. ]

[wilder]

[more like a teenage girl with a hardcore crush; he snorts with that] Yeah, I know.

But it's cute. Maybe even good for her. [Actually thinking about a real future. Something that Zelos isn't even sure how to think about]

[impetuous]

If you say so.

[ Shielding his eyes, he looks up at the sky. ] Never thought I would, but I miss rain. Normal rain, not the one that tries to drown you.

[wilder]

Why? So you can sit and brood in it all dramatic like?

[impetuous]

[ Gwaine stares at him like he grew a second head. ]

No. Is that what you do in the rain?

[wilder]

Heh, nah. Be terrible for my hair.

[impetuous]

Uh-huh. No, no brooding. I have better things to do with my time. It rained a lot back home. A little too much. But so long without so much as a drizzle is weird.
