[It's only a matter of time before North finally meets his double. It's standing quietly outside an entrance to the coliseum, helmet tucked under its arm as it's waiting for him. The double doesn't smile mockingly, or sneer. Rather, it looks stoic and resigned, and in his heart, North can feel the same. He's seen enough to know how this all goes--but it sure as hell doesn't make it any easier.] Theta, don't come out unless I really need you to. And only listen to me.
[Theta stays right where he is, glad that North's let him off the hook.] O-Okay... Will...there be something like me, too?
Shouldn't be. Can't make a copy of you. [That's the theory, anyway, and both of them know it. But because it is the Plane, no possibility should ever be completely disregarded.] But even if they tried, it wouldn't be as awesome as you. I don't want him getting any ideas. Best you stay safe for now.
Got it. [He knows what North's trying to do with the compliment and while it doesn't exactly help him feel okay about hiding, he knows his Freelancer well enough by now to trust what he's doing.] You be safe, too.
You know me; I always am. [And to prove it, he doesn't draw any arms or remove his helmet. No reason to make it easier for someone who's gonna say they're him, right? At least the other one is just staring at him as he closes the distance between them to a respectable ten or so feet apart. There's no way he's letting it get within arm's reach of him. What will it have to say to him...?]
Well, had a feeling you'd take this long to find me, but here you are.
And here you are. [He folds his arms in front of his chest right when the other him does.] Kinda wondered what I'd look like with those eyes.
Enough with the jokes. [The double pushes away from the stone wall and starts to approach him.] You're just as bad as your sister--both of them--when it comes to using jokes like that. At least that's the same between you two. But you can say you're her brother no matter what all you want. You won't change how she feels about you. All the strawberries in the universe couldn't fix that. Even after all this time, you can only manage to talk to her for so long before things get awkward. Hell, you can't even bring yourself to tell "your own sister" that you've fallen in love, or anything else going on back home!
[North starts to walk away as the double gets closer. He's shaking his head. It's too... He can't even bring himself to finish his own thought.] No, you've got it wrong.
You sure? [The double picks up speed, trying to catch up.] You can't even face the fact that things are pretty shitty back home. It's easier to run here, play house with the detective, and pretend everything's just fine!
[ooc: Backdating this encounter to some time before Wolfgang comes and fixes everything!]
