i imagine myself covered with blood, broken but transfigured and in agreement with the world, both as prey and as a jaw of time, which ceaselessly kills and is ceaselessly killed.
@pyroichor ( eyes unfocused . But he nods slowly. Yeah. He should. )
Okay...
( nodding again before turning heel. Walking off to his quaters Looks like AJs bad habits of chewing on his fingers are returning.)
@pyroichor . . . Maybe. Maybe not. I dont know. You don't know until you're dead.
( thumb is split by one of his teeth. Blood starting to stain teeth and lips and run down his thumb. )
Though when the question of what he prefers to be called by comes up he pauses his steps before looking back up to her.

A Crack of a smile appears .
Head tilting at the mention of another before an eyebrow raised. Simply trying to recall if he's met anyone specifically like that. No one comes to mind right away.
" I will give it a try then... dont see what the harm is "
Jeez sounds like a certain blue haired friend of mine.

[She misses him terribly too. He's left a crater when he thoughtβ
@pyroichor ( muttering something to himself before shrugging. Thumb pad pressing between lips. Sharpened teeth dragging across flesh.)
That title holds nothing when nothing remains.
@pyroichor ( blinking slowly... looking down. )
Unless the animals get me first. Which they would ... i would just be bones. Maybe not even that at the end of the day...
Ah... i see.
( Eyes wander. Flinching at her touch. The thought of the first. Being called his successor. Didn't sit right anymore. Not that he was now gone. )
Um... i don't think so. I dont remember. It's been a while since ive done anything but work... ahah...
Now why would I kill Capitano's successor? He thinks very highly of you and so do I.
[She's smiling, genuine and warm before putting a hand on his shoulder]
