...You're not going to just leave me somewhere, are you?

[rootless]

Of course not. I'm too selfish for that.

[concretejungles]

Then we'll figure it out. I'm not totally incompetent.

[rootless]

It's not a matter of competence, Bolt.

[concretejungles]

If you're not leaving me, then we'll have to figure it out anyway, won't we?

[rootless]

We will! Just. I don't know how to explain it, so you don't underestimate it...

[concretejungles]

I get it.

[crosses his arms and grumbles]

Someone like me can't do anything, right?

[rootless]

That's not what I'm saying at all!

[fuck it, stepping back and taking off his shirt.

enjoy that fucking vicious array of scars.]

[concretejungles]

[g-goes a bit white]

That's...

...

That's what I meant! Compared to you I'm weak, aren't I?

[rootless]

[putting it back on before you can pick out the scar Isaiah gave him in that little torture session.]

I'm strong now, but I also run the fuck away most of the time. It's not a matter of strength, or even smarts. It's luck. I've seen ridiculously strong people die horribly here, and same goes for the geniuses.

[concretejungles]

So then what do you want me to do?

[rootless]

Be as strong as smart as you can and run like hell more often than not. Because if you want to stay with me, you're gonna be in danger most of the time.

[considers



takes a deep breath

lets it out slow

and nods]

Got it. You'll see my serious face for sure.

[rootless]

...You can do it. I know you.

[concretejungles]

[stares for a moment





here just

have a dazzling grin]

You do, huh?

[rootless]

Look, it's been a hundred years, but I remember you pretty fucking clearly!

[concretejungles]

[walks

backward

slowly]

Hmmm, I dunno...

[rootless]

...What are you doing?

[concretejungles]

If you know me very well, you should know.

[target: acquired

preparing to launch]

[rootless]

...Really.

[concretejungles]

[and TACKLES]

VENGEANCE POUNCE!!

[rootless]

[SQUAWKS]

[concretejungles]

[yaaay laughing and hanging on]

[rootless]

[he has not gotten any heavier with the passage of time, so he is still super defeatable in wrestling

which isn't stopping him from trying to get on top of Bolt]

Brat!

[concretejungles]

[this is permissible if he can tickle]

Grouch!
