Entry tags:
one quarter-medusa, a hat on legs, and a bunny walk into a bar--
Who: Mary (immobileyes), Cole (existency) and Zara (sewayaku)
When: Forward-dated to January 3 let's say
Where: A park; Zara and Mary's apartment
What: Mary eventually brings home a boy
Rating/Warning: ... Everyone is adorable I don't know how else to prepare you--
[ Truth be told, Mary's wary of stepping out on her own, after the chaos that had led to a blizzard, her mother's gentle voice and her not-so-gentle laughter as she'd disappeared. No amount of chasing, of begging her to come back had yielded any results, and then had come that man with the monsters--
Even thinking about it now makes Mary shudder, but she'd still had to go to work. And now, returning home, she's being quick about it. Who knew what else was out there, lurking? More angry murderous men in red? Another familiar face willing to leave her behind again?
A...
... Hat?
Mary slows as she passes the park, squinting as though narrowing her eyes will help things make sense. She knows that hat, its owner-- did he really, really like this place? ]
Cole?

Cole?
no subject
[ He answers that with more conviction, at least, and he nods with a softer smile to show that he understands and agrees. That much is easier for him to do, since it's not quite as complicated. No matter how long it is, Cole always thinks that there will be gaps in things he understands, since the spirit part of him struggles with what humans know very well. ]
And here, too. You're you, and that's all that matters. No matter what you are, you can do good.
[ But that compliment is followed by shy fidgeting as he nods. ]
...That's what I think, at least. That's what people tell me.
no subject
[ Or really good motivational speaking strangers, she's heard of weirder. But Mary wonders if she can remember that. No matter what she is... so long as she doesn't want to hurt anyone, is that really all that matters? ]
no subject
[ There's a fondness in his voice that's very easily apparent, so it seems like they're close friends, even. Though really, Cole considers every friend a close one. He's touched by the kindness of it every time. ]
It's what Solas tells me. He knows more than most people about a lot of things. But about spirits too. So he helps me understand when it's hard to.
no subject
Mary nods, although curiosity prompts another question: ]
Are any of your friends here?
this tag gave me diabetes
[ Which by how he had been speaking of his friend, might be a surprising answer. But he nods to Mary, and gives the grossest answer possible. ]
You are.
well at least both of us are suffering
And also slightly concerned, because she's not his only friend, is she? He may be a hat on legs that has visibility issues to the people around him, but he's a nice semi-invisible hat on legs--
Hold on, she's got to stop making incoherent squeaky noises and actually form words. ]
Nng-- [ No, real words, Mary. ] I-I mean, from home! Your home! Friends you live with??
no subject
[ For the misunderstanding, he means, though with how flustered she gets, he's a bit confused, since he's not sure how to take it. Had he said something good or bad...? He can't sense that he hurt her feelings, so he can only guess it must be something better, but it's still hard to tell. ]
Then, no. I haven't met anyone from my home. But I don't live with my friends. [ A pause, as he thinks about it, then he nods before adding: ] That's right. I don't really live with anyone. I don't need to, so I don't want to bother them.
no subject
[ As this is someone who got adopted by calling someone in the middle of the night in tears over a traumatizing nightmare-- Mary's looking pretty dismayed. ]
Then, you live all by yourself? Isn't that lonely? I know I'd hate having to do that again...
no subject
Not really. I don't live anywhere. I stay where people are. Where they're happy.
[ He looks to the side, though what his gaze falls on in the park is unclear. ]
People like the park. So I like it here too.
1/2
[ No, you can't stay in the park! If you stayed in a forest, that would be different, especially if you had a roof over your head, but she doesn't see any houses built in the park and does that mean he sleeps outside and that's just bad, so immediately after her surprised yelp-- ]
no subject
[ Don't even argue. ]
no subject
...I can't?
no subject
no subject
[ She's concerned about him, but he's not sure why. It's nice, since it's the sort of thing that always deeply warms his heart, but it's still a surprise every time. ]
I like the rain. It's soft.
no subject
[ Well, yes. ]
So you should live with me. [ Well, with her and Zara, but still, it's better than living in the park. ]
no subject
It wouldn't be quiet. I'd be listening, hearing, speaking without stopping. Pain twists and turns, crying out for mother, but—
[ His line sets in a thin line, and the fidgeting stops. ]
It's kind. But you don't have to.
no subject
But I still want to.
[ A pause; it's her turn to fidget. ]
Is it too loud around me?
no subject
[ It's not quite an answer, because it's not quite something that Cole can answer. He used the word loud because it was the best way to describe it, since some hurt came to him more readily than others. But for the most part, it was random. Little pieces floating in, and he's the one to grasp them and weave them into a bandage. ]
...If you want, though. I'll come.
no subject
no subject
[ But he's still very shy about it, since to him, it's almost a frightening prospect. Living in the attic of the tavern was nice, since the only person that ever really came up there was the Inquisitor. So living with someone else, he thinks that he'll just hide a little more. ]
I don't know where you live, though.
no subject
[ How comforting. ]
no subject
[ He cants his head to the side, like he's reconsidering, but he ends up nodding. ]
If we get lost, I can find the way. It's hard to get lost. There's always a direction to pull, so there's always a way to go.
no subject
I wish I had pull-y directions.
[ Maybe life would be easier. ]
no subject
[ Clearly, this is a surprise to him... He assumed everyone did, but he's also generally surrounded by people with excellent survival skills that don't exactly get lost. So. ]
no subject
[ SHE SUCKS. ]
