Time

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[B slouches over to people, biting the tip of his thumb. He is marginally more happy than he was when he first came back to life, though not quite smiling. He stares around in silence for a few moments, seeming to contemplate everyone.]

Does anyone have a watch that I can borrow? Or any time-keeping device. I do not know how long I will need it.

[Ponders how much to tell him.] An experiment to see how time passes here...in relation to time in other realities.

Ahh, that sounds fascinating, really.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Nods once, slowly.] I am interested in seeing the results.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[tilts his head] Bit of an experimenter, eh?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[...the corner of his mouth curls into a grin.] You could say that, yes.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[noticed that look] What else could I say?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

Many things, I am sure. [After a pause:] What is one thing I could say about you? Truthfully.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Truthfully? You shouldn't mistake me for nice. [though he said this seriously, the tone switches to playful] I'm just too modest for that.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

Is that so? [Considers him. He notes the playfulness, but only for the reason behind his not being nice. He takes the actual statement seriously.] I'll make sure not to consider you nice, then. [After a pause:] And I expect the same from you.

[looks a bit surprised] Not a nice bloke, are you?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Considers, then shrugs.] Nice enough.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Then nice enough it is.
