I think I made you up inside my head; any - aegean - 01-20-2020 Aegean I should have loved a thunderbird instead I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead RE: I think I made you up inside my head; any - Larva - 01-21-2020 i will be brutal Larva used to know how to feel sad about the things he’d done and the hurt he’d caused. He used to know just how to pronounce ‘I’m sorry’ and mean it every time. But age and numerous deaths have scraped that piece of him into the gutter and left him calloused down to his core. Still, there is something that recalls the folly of youth from time to time and it tries to trace the edges that have been worn down so far. If he thinks of Anemone, it all comes rushing back and he has to catch his breath before he moves again. So when he sees Aegean standing here by the river, he recognizes that ache that knows no end even as time stretches on closer to infinity. Even at the edge of the galaxies, it would find them and pierce straight through. He almost laughs. Heartache knows no master, no expiration. He comes to stand beside the ghostly white figure and his scars almost shine in the setting spring sun. Slowly, his sage green eyes trace the sorrow across the boy’s face and then he clears his throat, as though Aegean could miss the tall stranger a few feet from him. “I used to hate any kind of magic when I was younger. I was very stupid then,” he begins, his eyes tracing the made up constellations that the boy has made. He still hates any kind of tricks but he doesn’t say that aloud. “I’m still rather stupid but I’ve learned that everything gets better over time.” And he laughs, remembering his first lifetime and how he thought he would never meet death. “My name is Larva. You look like you need someone to listen and I need a break from my grandchildren.” He shifts his great weight, tilting his head in an effort to see Aegean better. The old man seems to only have a soft spot for anyone who reminds him of himself, but perhaps his narcissism can benefit another this time.
