Meta thought of the night brought to you by my mun's trip to airport...

Small, yapping dogs carted about in strollers: Yet another reason to push the restart button on humanity.

Someone used that method on me once. It... served its purpose at the time, at least. *slight smile*

Some little dogs don't know they're little dogs.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I suppose I can see how that would be...

That seems to go for a lot of species.

[youngerpetrelli]

*a little distracted now, but hopeful* So... you don't really want to destroy everyone just because they annoy you, right?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*tilts his head, studying him for a long moment*

Right.

[youngerpetrelli]

*curious* Why are you looking at me like that?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*arches an eyebrow*

Like what?

[youngerpetrelli]

I'm not really sure.

*sighs* Sorry. This discussion -- about dogs and everything -- kind of reminds me of someone.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*faint frown*

Who?

[youngerpetrelli]

*softly, maybe a little sadly* Someone I... used to know. He helped teach me -- helped me learn how to control at least some of this.

He's the one I mentioned... I was losing control of everything after I regenerated the first -- well, I guess it was really the second -- time, and he punched me. I kind of remember him saying 'well, it's a start.'

*watching him again*

Ah. I suppose that makes a bit more sense, then.

[youngerpetrelli]

It... *flatly* ...he left. They found us and he got scared and left.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*brushes fingers down his cheek, faint frown*

I'm sorry, Peter.

[youngerpetrelli]

*leans into his touch, trying not to show how sad he is*

It's not your fault at all -- you were locked up, and you certainly weren't out hunting people.

ooc: omg Claude will never forgive me for this... *continues setting him up*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*strokes his cheek lightly*

Well, no. But it pains me to think of anyone doing that to you.

ooc: LOL. And Adam's already less than fond. Possessive boy.

[youngerpetrelli]

*soft sigh*

He didn't-- the company was-- They nearly caught us, and... He got scared. *frowns* You wouldn't want to be locked up again either, would you?

ooc: *snrk* When Claude finally finds out what Adam's been doing to Peter, that'll be interesting!

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

No. *quietly* But neither would I have left you behind.

ooc: LOL. I know. Adam's all "*eyebrow arch*"

[youngerpetrelli]

*looks up in surprise* You wouldn't? I-- *frowns* He was scared, Adam. He can't do what we can do...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Just because we can do what we can do doesn't mean I'm not afraid of them, too, Peter. *quiet* The amount of pain someone can inflict on those who cannot die from it, no matter how much they might beg for death is immense.

[youngerpetrelli]

*shudders at the thought of it* I don't-- God, Adam, I'm sorry.

Just... don't blame him, okay? He was helping me, and then they went and screwed it all up.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*shortly, glancing away* It wasn't your fault.

And he left you there to deal with them yourself.

[youngerpetrelli]

*angry now, energy starting to crackle around his hands* They have no right...

*firmly* It's not Claude's fault.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*glances back at him, faint frown* No, but they did. It's done now.

*shrugs* As you say.

[youngerpetrelli]

*soft growl* We're not toys for them to play with...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*shakes his head*

They will never see that.

[youngerpetrelli]

*sighs* I wish there was a way to make them see it that wouldn't make us the bad guys...
