If I spent this entire time not knowing... having the truth hidden from me, as hard a truth as it is to swallow...
[He pauses.]
I know I hardly deserve to be the person to judge anyone over a blood stained past. But I thought I knew him. If that was wrong, how could I know anything? What did that make me?
Re: Day 78
C'mon.
[AWAY FROM WHERE ANYONE CAN SEE THEM]
Re: Day 78
[but pulling away enough to rescoop pressies and tug Kaine past the nest to his room.]
Re: Day 78
Kaine is just going to sit himself onto Randy's bed and look at him expectantly.]
Re: Day 78
Should I open these first? Play with your hair? Something else?
Re: Day 78
Obviously you have to open them. I need to know what kind of trash I got you.
Re: Day 78
Trash? How promising.
[SURVEYING THE PRESENTPILE and snagging the littlest box before sitting beside kaine.]
Re: Day 78
[Leans against Randy and watches with expectation...
the smallest box has: three sets of nail polish! Red, glittery gold and black.]
Re: Day 78
Well this is an immediate win, so! How'dya get these?
[tilting the gold one so the glitter catches the light!]
Re: Day 78
Guess you got lucky.
[Kaine, as an emo kid, is obviously more drawn to the black.]
Re: Day 78
[teasingly, setting the polishes down and reaching for the next. smallest to largest!]
Re: Day 78
That's so lame...
[The next is... a bar of artisanal soap. It smells of raw honey and lavender~ Lot of self care luxuries for Randy today]
Re: Day 78
We are so doing a spa day after this.
Re: Day 78
[Hmmm.....]
That's not the worst idea you've ever had...
Re: Day 78
[next! pressie! carefully laying out the soap with the nail polishes, surprisingly organized.]
Re: Day 78
I hope you know I have high standards for spas.
Re: Day 78
[laughing and immediately putting on the socks tyvm]
Re: Day 78
Mmn. Aren't you cozy.
Re: Day 78
[pausing, though. the vibes have been kind of off, but...]
Kaine?
Re: Day 78
Hm?
Re: Day 78
Re: Day 78
You're talking about why I suddenly went comatose a few days ago, aren't you.
Re: Day 78
Re: Day 78
Not upset, just contemplative.]
I lost myself for a bit because...
...Randy. Have you ever loved someone so much, only to realize. They're not the kind of person you thought they were?
Re: Day 78
I haven't. Mostly I've tried not to do that to other people.
