If I had kids I don't know if I'd want them to have this life. I'd probably try to get them to do something else." He'd say with a laugh. Back to Top   Eric Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

He tries to laugh, but... no. He's suddenly imagining a hypothetical future with him and his hypothetical wife - hypothetically, hopefully Sarah - getting a visit by a solemn, uniformed man with a solemn envelope and a solemn "I'm sorry for your loss". He's imagining what the Fischers were like when they got the news. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Not that his is bad. But damn it was dangerous as he got to clearly see. He would have to be careful about how to tell his parents about it. Back to Top   Eric Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

He'd joke about causing inflation, but Eric's being serious. Show some respect.

Really should've thought about what I was saying." He'd actually started to cross the room as Eric dry heaved, but seeing the guy wasn't going to get sick everywhere, he relaxed, nodding. Subject change ahoy, cap'n! "So. Any of the others drop by yet or should I go around telling people you're off the morphine?" And can actually talk straight.

Have I really never told you about her and I?" He could've sworn he'd like, mentioned it in passing at least once. Or talked about Sarah a little. But Eric had never really pressed for detail, so. "Heck of a time to suddenly be asking about my relationships, Eric." He tries to smile! Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

"First I've heard about it. Is it serious then?" Maybe not since he couldn't recall hearing about it. Piper certainly never brought Aaron up. Back to Top   Eric Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

It was a little up in the air at first, but we talked about it, got serious about it." He stares down at Eric, face going stony. Why these sudden questions?

In fact, before he even realises he's moved he's at the bedside, looming over his... no, would a friend really do this? "I have no interest in doing anything, with anyone else, when I'm in a relationship..." He won't show it, not to Eric, not to Mr. "would bang a table if you put a skirt on it," but his throat tightens, he almost feels like can't breathe. His heart thunders, his stomach drops. "When did this happen? What did you do?" He didn't raise his voice, but it had a sort of chill to it. His jaw is clenched so tightly he feels like he could bite through Mr. Amtrum's metal armour right now. "I can't believe she wouldn't've said anything to you. Did you just not listen?"

So I need answers, and I need honest ones." It's everything he can do to keep that even tone, to keep the water out of his eyes, to hide that little twitch. Confusion, anguish, despair, pure rage, all rolling around inside him. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...
