Dean helping is creepy?


Dinah paused, then added:

I won't text for a while if you don't want.

In case, well, she was the one being creepy here.

[lovemykilt]

dean is creepy

Kind of in general.

glad u texted. glad ur ok

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Your roommate hides knives in your couch. you knew this

'Nuff said, really.

yay. miss you.

Moving on very fast:

everything ok here nobody hurt, no one remembers

[lovemykilt]

so hawkes not

Priestly didn't want to finish the sentence. He was pretty sure he didn't have to.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

very not.

he's Reese's dad. swhy he's alive still

In the here-and-now, and ... would that make it better, or worse?

you're not to blame

[lovemykilt]

Prieslty sighed. dont be naive Yeah, that was helpful. we both were there. we both did it.

its both our faults

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah winced, gritting her teeth.

Yeah. It is. But Kestrel pushed.

makes me feel sick

worse for you

[lovemykilt]

Yeah, Priestly had been avoiding thinking about that part especially.

rook let her push

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

how do you know?

*I* don't know.


Maybe not a fair question. But if Priestly wasn't blaming himself more than he deserved, maybe it was worth it?

the island never made you evil before this hunh

[lovemykilt]

been a douche before, Priestly noted. bsides the point. its not on just u. u have 2 deal w the truth

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

i don't know what the truth is! except we were both crazy Gotham criminals

and i don't want u to hate urself.

it was scary

[lovemykilt]

and u should? That wouldn't help anyone, either.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

no. but that's more 'cause i scared u.

i would never ever do that to you. never

[lovemykilt]

Except for how, apparently, some version of her out there would.

she was fucked up. more ways than 1

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

lots. i know better.

prof. ghanima would kick my ass from arrakis

and i

What? How could she explain why she wouldn't, couldn't do that?

would make me sick. worse than killing u did, w/vampires

[lovemykilt]

Priestly didn't know how to answer that. He knew all that. He knew she understood that the way Rook and Kestrel lived was sick and harmful.

That didn't make it better.

okay

He didn't know what else to say.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

okay

At least she'd gotten that clear? And.. he believed her. Or at least, didn't not believe her?

Yeah, Dinah didn't know what else to say, except:

where do we go from here?

[lovemykilt]

Fuck, how was he supposed to know?

not really a conversation for txt msgs

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

no Dinah agreed.

home in NG for weeks. lots of catch up.

She wouldn't be showing up unannounced, in other words.

txt more later? or talk on phone?

ur call.

[lovemykilt]
