the captain always chooses to go down with his men; he will always choose to walk into the fire; and he will always be the last man standing.

[𝕭LACK 𝑫ᵒᵍ, ‍‍𝐁ʟᴀᴄᴋ 𝓦O͟LF … @MUZZLEBITES]

this time i’m really gonna do it.

[‍ ‍𝔱ṛ𝘦𝘮𝘰ṛ𝘴. ‍ @thoroughfaired]

i never kid.

[ً @sewerscribe]

the candles have all flickered and died. the flowers decayed. distance is all that's left. I feel so empty.

[𝕭LACK 𝑫ᵒᵍ, ‍‍𝐁ʟᴀᴄᴋ 𝓦O͟LF … @MUZZLEBITES]

please say you’re kidding.

[‍ ‍𝔱ṛ𝘦𝘮𝘰ṛ𝘴. ‍ @thoroughfaired]

“aren’t they all?” a hint of humor despite sullen mood that seems to hang over each morning, steady fall of boots along gravel. sun’s just peaking over the horizon, though no earlier a start than usual. “couldn’t even bother to offer your captain a smoke?”

"comin'." ⠀ hound falls in at heel, ⠀ cigarette crushed under boot. ⠀ only halfway done with it, ⠀ too, ⠀ still no need to tell him twice. ⠀ (anything over desk duty.) ⠀ eyes fall over alpha, ⠀ noting the rings under his, ⠀ with pointed ease, ⠀ "late night, ⠀ sir?"

[𝕭LACK 𝑫ᵒᵍ, ‍‍𝐁ʟᴀᴄᴋ 𝓦O͟LF … @MUZZLEBITES]

coming, @preydrives ?

morning down at the range … could use a spotter.

is it any wonder the world sickens and dies?

you don’t lose 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡. there’s a difference. [ playful jab slung her way as he pushes off the counter he’s leaned against. never allowing self more than mere moments of rest. ] but, lucky for you, i don’t think either of us want to deal with me nicotine—deprived on the job.

[𝕭LACK 𝑫ᵒᵍ, ‍‍𝐁ʟᴀᴄᴋ 𝓦O͟LF … @MUZZLEBITES]

you rest, and i’ve got those fresh eyes you were talking about. it’ll be good for both of us.

[ˢᵒᵐᵉᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ valentine .ᐟ @SAVlNGSTAR]

well ... sure. just a little one.

[𝕭LACK 𝑫ᵒᵍ, ‍‍𝐁ʟᴀᴄᴋ 𝓦O͟LF … @MUZZLEBITES]

[ a shake of the head, though unusually lighthearted. easy to be when the topic of work was momentarily on the back burner. ] maybe a bet would be a good incentive … don’t like to shy away from a little competition, do we?

[𝕭LACK 𝑫ᵒᵍ, ‍‍𝐁ʟᴀᴄᴋ 𝓦O͟LF … @MUZZLEBITES]

i’m talking about 𝙮𝙤𝙪, valentine. you need a break.

[ˢᵒᵐᵉᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ valentine .ᐟ @SAVlNGSTAR]

damn, you must be 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙩 if you're not eager to kick this off. maybe take the rest of the day and rest up.

that’s what they all say, right? [ a laugh disguised as an exhale, raising mug higher almost as if to hide the humor on his face. ] besides, i don’t think we know the first thing about quitting anything.

[𝕭LACK 𝑫ᵒᵍ, ‍‍𝐁ʟᴀᴄᴋ 𝓦O͟LF … @MUZZLEBITES]

a break’s starting to sound like a better idea by the minute. maybe make it an hour or two.

[ˢᵒᵐᵉᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ valentine .ᐟ @SAVlNGSTAR]

no sleep, actually. you know how it goes.
