    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura


    The beginning of a life, and the ending of another - Birthing, any
    #23
    She’s avoiding him, and it’s strange. Like talking to a wall. All his arguments go void only because she makes no effort to understand; because she’s unwilling to give him anything. Apparently that also means Thorgal has to suffer for it; there’s a brief moment where his eyes flash to her side, where their -no, her- boy is finally latching on.

    Goddammit that hurt. To give in to that, and correct his thoughts. He’ll never get to be the boy’s father because even if he tried she would just keep rejecting him and probably call him names behind his back; at this rate it dawns on him that her solution is definitely the worst, him visiting at all - she’ll always hate him and if he fuels that just by being around, then there’s no way Thorgal would ever accept him. No. Her solution isn’t best. But his isn’t either. The only thing he can do now is the hardest thing, and let go.

    It also hurts that she really doesn’t want to see their past for what it is. She keeps calling him the worst things, a liar, deceiver, the only things he truly isn’t - she brings it as if he’d done all of it on purpose. While his intent had been to try and start anew; he’d hoped she would be enough to get his mind off Breckin. But she wasn’t. And it wasn’t her fault, it wasn’t anybody’s; but that she puts all blame on him feels so unfair.

    It’s strange to hear her say the words. Loved you. His ears fall back at that, mind numb and still, like he’d crashed into a wall. It’s not like he could have never suspected, especially with the way she acted now. Maybe he should have asked her earlier, when at the river she had started to act strange after meeting Briseis. Though she never tried to tell him otherwise either.

    But he’s done with all her name-calling, and he growls just a bit. Then his voice is hushed like a whisper, only meant for her to hear. ”The difference is I never said I loved you.”

    With that, he makes a 180, and can only do so much not to run away; taking long angry strides instead, pushing past Nalia and really, hardly sees her.

    She doesn’t have to see how much it upsets him. She doesn’t need to know that her hate actually hurts. How hard it is to walk away instead of run away hurt and angry.

    But once out of sight, he does run, and on the other side of the kingdom, a small tree gets torn to pieces, before he finds a secluded place to bang his head against a wall, where his frustrated yell gets lost in the sound of the waves.
