On Star Wars

Luke Skywalker should be shot.

The constant whining is annoying.




ooc: Mun's stuck at airport after flight delays and cancellations. Adam felt the need to alleviate my boredom.

Mmm. Perhaps.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

That was a joke, Bennet.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

I know.

[youngerpetrelli]

Yeah. Time's something you don't really have to worry about much.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Good.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

It isn't as if I cease to value it. I've always been the only one with any guarantees of seeing what came the next year or decade.

[youngerpetrelli]

I didn't mean that... I just-- I'm having issues with it myself.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

It may not be an issue for you, Peter. We don't know how it works for you.

[youngerpetrelli]

I... kind of hope it doesn't. I'm sorry, Adam, but-- my brother, and... god. How do you deal with someone you love aging and dying when you don't change at all? I can't wrap my head around it...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to apologize for, Peter. My preferences aside, I wouldn't...it isn't that bad. Watching what comes next is fascinating--but it always does seem like watching.

As for how to deal with it...I don't. For 300 years, I never let anyone get close enough that it would hurt when I lost them.

[youngerpetrelli]

So lonely... *reaches out to stroke Adam's cheek* I can't-- It's that whole empath thing, I guess.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

My sense of humor's a bit curtailed at the moment.

*faint frown, almost flinching back but doesn't, though there's a shadow in his eyes*

I learned to accustom myself to it.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

You have to keep it up, especially in there, or you'll go mad. Trust me on this one.

[youngerpetrelli]

*sighs sadly* I'm sorry. Poke me when I'm being annoying, please?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*slight shake of his head*

I'm not used to people being able to sense what I do not say.

[youngerpetrelli]

*tiny smile*

I don't always realize I'm doing it.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*sighs, brushes fingers down his cheek*

I was a ghost, moving through time for so long. And then there you are, peeling back layers I kept hidden even from my so-called friends 30 years ago.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

It was never that wonderful at the best of times.

I'm trying, really I am.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

We need to work on that.

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

Mmm. I tend to make jokes about Soylent Green far more often than my colleagues appreciate.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Now see, that's amusing.

[youngerpetrelli]

*turns enough to brush a kiss over his fingertips*

It's... not something I do consciously. As a matter of fact, when I try to do it, that's when I start screwing it up...

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

Finally, someone who appreciates me.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*briefly closes his eyes, tracing his lips*

You should....learn to control it the way you do other powers.
