Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost, 'Who put these bodies between us?'

[Hei and Misaki are at the bar, because apparently that the Place To Be for disfunctional couples. But they aren't hanging all over each other, flirting, kissing, or talking about the kids. They are sitting as far apart as possible while still remaining in the same space. Misaki sits in a booth, flushed, staring into space. Hei is at the bar facing the opposite direction, drink in hand. Bandaged hand; he appears to have torn it up rather badly.


Reality sucks sometimes.]

[After awhile,] Of course.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Even the pleasant ones wind up being torment in the end.

[contract_star]

Just how it is. [Drains his glass.]

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Mmm. [ She looks down at her glass, unsure of what to say. ]

[contract_star]

[Hei isn't in the most talkative moods, so he's no help.]

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

All the more reason... [ She decides against finishing the thought, and instead sips at her drink. ]

[contract_star]

To what? Enjoy it while it lasts?

...I did.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ She shakes her head and gives him a pained little smile. ]

I'm glad you did, though. Maybe it's-- it's something you can strive for.

[contract_star]

[He shakes his head.] It was an illusion. There's no way it could ever happen in the real world.

[ Normally this would be the part where she'd try to convince him it's possible, it might not be the same, but it is a possibility for him, blah blah blah.

But instead she's staring down at her glass again. ]

I guess.

[contract_star]

[There's a long pause.]

...How are you doing?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Shrug ]

Tired, mostly.

[contract_star]

[He blinks.] The coronation...right, it hasn't happened yet.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

No, not yet. There's Mana Holy Week first.

[contract_star]

[Rubs his head.] Time's messed up.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

That happens when you hop into the future unexpectedly.

[ She looks down at her drink for a long time. ] I want to say you guys will get there eventually. But I shouldn't go making promises like that.

[contract_star]

...Wasn't the future. It was just...an illusion. A dream.

Wasn't real.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

I know. But I imagine time's still a confusing subject.

[contract_star]

...Yeah.
