[Enter the Griever! As always, the blond hair, glowing red eyes and echo-y voice pretty much guarantee you won't recognize him as Chris. He appears with some momentum, and smacks into the wall of the ballroom. A hand is at his side, where some green blood seeps slowly through his fingers. He looks pretty incredulous.]

Who actually gives a little girl a sniper—?! [Realization dawns!] ...rifle. [He knocks his head back against the wall. Guess who just discovered his merge with Henrietta?] You've got to be kidding.

I don't know, so logistically it's better to say nothing.

[ghostlighter]

But there's still the chance it won't, so... Just go ahead and say it.

...[Can't figure out how to phrase it. Because articulating feelings of jealousy is not something she's had to do before.]

[ghostlighter]

[He just waits, not wanting to scare her off from attempting it somehow.]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[All at once--] I don't want her close to you. [And that's as near the mark as she can get.]

[ghostlighter]

[Takes a second to digest that.] Be...cause she's a witch?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

No, not because of that. I don't care about that. [She... doesn't think she does, at least?]

[ghostlighter]

Then why?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

I... just don't like her.

[ghostlighter]

... she healed me.

[Eyes back on the plane floor now.] Yes, s--Chris.

[ghostlighter]

... No. Not 'yes, Chris'. There's still a problem here, isn't there?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Rrrrg] No, Chris.

[ghostlighter]

Henrietta, I don't even know her name. She's just... helping someone she saw in need. Okay?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

...really?

[ghostlighter]

Yeah. Really.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

...so, you don't like her because she's a witch?

[ghostlighter]

... What?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

...do you like her?

[ghostlighter]

She's... okay?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Mrrt.]
