wake up time

[cardinalsinned]

[ This is probably the second worst way to wake up, in a hospital bed with Juan there watching. ]

What... happened to me?

Comments

[cardinalsinned]

And yet you have not answered my question.

[foundjuanting]

I have not smoked anything.

[cardinalsinned]

Then why are you acting so odd?

[foundjuanting]

Am I odd? I feel quite at peace.

[cardinalsinned]

And you don't find that odd?

[ Stay there, I'm going to find something small and harmless to throw at you ]

[foundjuanting]

It's sad that you've never seen me in such a mood.

[:<]

[cardinalsinned]

I don't wish to see it again. You are not yourself, that much I know for certain.

[foundjuanting]

Yes, you would wish me to never be happy again, wouldn't you?

[cardinalsinned]

[ Sarcastically ] Yes, that is always what I wish, Juan. I have worked tirelessly toward that goal.

[foundjuanting]

Then know this: you have done so quite well today.

[Going to get moar wine]

[cardinalsinned]

[ You don't deserve more wine right now... pushing it further away ]

Are you actually complimenting me?

[foundjuanting]

[Fine :/ going into the kitchen for more.]

If you would consider such to be a compliment.

[cardinalsinned]

[ If you can walk there in a straight line without falling you can have more wine ]

I can take nothing you say seriously.

[foundjuanting]

[Stumble stumble, lean, but he's making it towards the kitchen.]

You never have

[cardinalsinned]

[ I'm going to push you over if you keep this up ]

You've given me little reason to.

[foundjuanting]

That is a wretched cycle, is it not? You give me no trust, so I do not put the faith in you to be trustworthy.

[KITCHEN GET, now time to look for more wine.]

[cardinalsinned]

I give you trust and you throw it in my face. I needed you earlier and you ran. What sort of brother does that?

[ Yeah, good luck with that ]

[foundjuanting]

You called me the type of man that would prey on you. That insult does not pass quickly.

[Shh shh, he can do this]

[cardinalsinned]

... And I may have been wrong to say so.

[ Let's take a second to appreciate how much that just cost him ]

[foundjuanting]

Then consider it forgiven.

[There's a little something in his tone though, still a bit of hurt]

[cardinalsinned]

You would let it go so easily?

[foundjuanting]

No, but what choice do I have? I have learned that there is little I can do to change what goes on between us.

[Once out of sight, grinding up pills and taking them with wine go]

[cardinalsinned]

Only when you make no effort. I was wrong to call you a predator, but you were wrong to leave me when I needed you.

[foundjuanting]

[Coming back with the bottle and the cup]

You would have done the same to me. Now leave me, I would enjoy this wine without the sour taste you bring to it.

[cardinalsinned]

Fine. Do us a favor and drown in it.

[ Leaving to go back Picasso's stuff ]
