They Say Be Afraid [ Logan ]

[Logan Seth Grey]

“I know. I probably shouldn’t have said anything but now it’s out in the open no taking it back. Unless do you have the power to turn back time also?”

He saw her get upset and pull her knees up to her chest. Ok well he didn’t know for sure if she was upset or not. But usually when his sister did this it was a good sign. Shit when any girl did that it wasn’t a good sign. He ran a hand through his hair and leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. He figured he landed himself on her shit list and maybe for a while. Suddenly he wished he was better with words and less bold. The good thing was if she decided to light him on fire at least he could with stand the heat. And if it made her feel better well she better start lighting him up right now. She seemed to be in deep though or sorrow he wasn’t sure which. So he let her stay curled up until she began talking again. He knew that she still wouldn’t be in a good mood but at least she would be talking? She was pretty intimidating when she just sat there looking like he just played a terrible joke on her. Well in some ways he did by even bringing up immortality.

“I bet there are so many assholes out there including me. People still don’t surprise you? Well I guess if you have people down to a science, which it sounds like I suppose anyone would stop being surprised. I’ll take you word on it that the world doesn’t really change.”

He still noticed no change on her unhappy level. He just wanted to hit him self over the head. He was such a goon sometimes but he could help it he was a boy. He understood he hit a nerve. If it was him and someone hit his nerve he would have tackled them by now. Or just told them to get the hell out of his face. He couldn’t understand why she was still entertaining him by talking. He shook his head at himself now frustrating himself. She actually gave him the time of day to explain herself and he now blew this whole situation wide open. He wanted Ildri to believe him as trust worthy. And by now she probably trusted him as much as her worst enemy. He growled a bit acting a bit caveman like at this point he really didn’t care.

“Ildri really if you want to set me on fire you can if it will make you feel better. I’m really sorry if I upset you. I couldn’t help but notice…”

He pointed at her curled up position. All talk of going to stay with her over the summer was forgotten. Pushing it to the back burner since it was no longer relevant. He just wanted to make sure that Ildri was fine. Even if it meant she had to scream and yell at him so be it. He wanted her to know he was her punching bag. Even if she did hurt him but how hard could a girl punch? Little to his knowledge Ildri was stronger than he could ever have imagined.

[Ildri Cornelia Lumen]

Ildri wasn’t even sure what to say to Logan’s question of if she could turn back time also. She really should have stopped the conversation long before it got to this point. So, it really was her own fault being that she could have simply just stated that she was uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation. Or maybe it was she didn’t realize that Logan would say exactly what he did about her granting immortality. Maybe she shouldn’t have even told him about it to begin with. ”No I don’t.” she said to answer his question, but he probably knew that. Even if she did have the power, the fact was that she would probably remember he said it to begin with. Who was to say it would be different the second time anyway? Chances were that nothing would change and they’d be in the same position as they were now, which was vaguely awkward. Sure she was used to awkward at times, but that didn’t mean she liked it at all. He seemed to call himself an asshole and she sighed slightly. Well, she did suppose that she probably looked upset to the point where he was blaming himself, but it wasn’t entirely his fault.

”Leaders are the only ones that can sometimes surprise me with how cruel or stupid they are to their own people.” she said simply with a light shrug of her shoulders. Otherwise it really was just the same old jackass attitudes in a different decade. Sure the insults and other such reasons to pick on someone changed, but the idea behind it was pretty much the same. Everyone just wanted the reaction out of someone, but she was pretty sure that wasn’t what Logan had wanted from her. After all, he didn’t seem to be continuing to try and rile her up at all, instead he seemed to be more trying to calm her down instead. So he wasn’t a complete asshole, it was more he just didn’t realize what was coming out of his mouth would hurt her. It did hurt though and it wasn’t something she was going to snap out of very quickly. Honestly she kind of wanted to just be alone right now left to her thoughts. It would be rude to tell him to get out, but she didn’t particularly care too much about that for the moment being that tears were starting to roll down her cheeks.

Hearing the growl then the offer to light him on fire she rolled her eyes slightly. ”I’m not mad, not your fault I didn’t stop the conversation before it got to this. You should…probably go though I’m not sure I’d be much company anymore.” she said with sigh before hiding her face behind her knees. If she wanted she could probably light him on fire, but it wouldn’t make her feel better right now more than likely. It was just something she would have to be alone burning things that can’t possibly feel pain until they were nothing but ash.
