To Those in the Know

I did something stupid.

Does anyone remember Cain? He was the man who was working with Amaris when she had me and later Christina and William. He was the one with the gun who made certain there was no escape. And the one time I tried, he shot out my kneecaps. I saw him again today. Lavannah was shot in the attack on her house, but it wasn't by a Templar because the Templar didn't have guns in that attack. We figured it was a civilian, so Paul and I worked together to track them down and all paths lead to Cain. Ryn shot him in the leg, and he was in hospital recovering. But when I saw him, I got angry. And what I should have done was contact Paul (who was outside...) and tell him to apprehend Cain but instead he said stupid things and he made me mad so I sort of...attacked him. He was in a hospital bed and I attacked him! Augh. I'm horrified at myself. And the nurses called the police, and I was carted off. Meanwhile, Paul wondered why I hadn't shown back up. When he went upstairs, Cain was gone. How I do not know. But he was. He made his way to the station and managed to get to them before they processed me so the fuzz didn't wonder why they had such an offensive corpse on their hands. Good thing I've never been fingerprinted before, hmm?

So now my name is Ash Bigglesby. Because Paul had to make up a name and he was pissed off... And uhm...I suck. The one good thing? Cain ran away, which means he can't press charges. So I won't be in any more trouble than I was this morning. Peter paid my 'disruptive idiot' fine because he's lovely.

I do not like people who shoot people!!

(Also...Spectre...I uhm...think some people took photos of me...I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!)

I don't remember ever reading Biggles Strangles a Homicidal Maniac. You crazy man, Thomas.

You don't suck. You lost your head when you encountered an evil, evil man. It's perfectly understandable. Not a great situation, but understandable. I'm just glad things didn't go worse than they did. All you have on your conscience is a bit of a freak-out. I know this isn't the sort of thing you'd normally let happen. You wouldn't normally encounter a man in hospital who had done that sort of thing...

I like to break genre convention. I succeed quite often too.

I hate hurting people. I'm a strong person. I'm big and I'm strong and I should not use that to attack people! I don't. Except...today apparently. Yuck. Yuck. And Peter won't stop calling me Mr Bigglesby.

I certainly can't argue with that!

Cain uses guns to attack people. Helpless women and children. Not to mention he pals around with one of the most despicable women - and I use the term loosely - on the planet. You did something a bit mad, there's no denying that, but I've been in the head of someone who was of that mindset a lot more often. I know what anger can do, just as I know you're not the sort of person to let it rule you under anything but the most adverse of circumstances.

Which is good to hear.

I don't want to be the kind of person who does. You really think I'm not? I fucked up once...

Though I suppose, if anyone can ensure I don't fuck up again, it's Mums...

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

I really don't think you are that sort of person, Thomas. You know me. I wouldn't be with you if you were. I won't stand for bullshit!

Mums, and me!

No you certainly won't. Good then. Thank you, Mary. Can we just...be Thomas and Mary and pretend I'm not a stupid arse for a little while?

You are quite good at that, Mary.

[lady-with-thee.livejournal.com]

No pretending necessary, Thomas. But being Thomas and Mary sounds like the easiest and best thing in the world.

Hehe, win!

Good. Easy and best is good.
