[straying]

fell off a building. don't freak out. 

broke my leg. don't fuss.

i can hear you all laughing from my apartment.

no major damage. stable condition, folks. will be inside for a while. talk about boring.

(ice cream and milk donations will be accepted if you bring them over.)

[filtered to Robin]

and where have YOU been, mister?

[ooc: pardon the super slow tagging of this post, guys. and action tags are welcome for those who have been to Saya's apartment before!]

[... a sip of her milk and a frooooown.]

You're so morbid, Matthew.

[Not that she's answering-]

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Just curious.

Because, you know. It's one thing to be surprised that people worry about an accident.

And another to be surprised that people worry about you at all.

[.... mutter mutter siiiiiigh-]

It's not a big deal. I can take care of myself anyway!

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

You know that's not my point.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

But it's your main concern, right?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Not at the moment. To be honest, at the moment my main concern is that you're so concerned that people are concerned about you!

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

... that's a pretty ridiculous list of concerns.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

I know it is.

[He grins. You're not changing the subject on him, Saya.]

Well?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Well...

[huff. cornered. she doesn't like being cornered, but she also can't run anymore- both literally and figuratively]

People tend not to worry about others who get hurt often enough- I always pick myself right up after all, right? So... it's a little strange that they worry! That's all.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[....And he laughs, shaking his head.]

It's not like there's a set amount of worry or concern.

If you'd worry about them at all if they got hurt, chances are they'd worry about you.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... the tilt of her head? That says 'that's new'.

But then she shrugs it off.]

Maybe I'll get used to it.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Maybe you'll not give it any more thought after this, once I stop nagging you about it.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[She just laughs.]

You know me too well!

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Or I know you just well enough. That's a possibility too.

You're guilty as charged, then?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[well, she hardly looks guilty-]

Probably. I don't like thinking about things like that. If it's not a problem, why bother?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Because then you won't have a solution for next time it becomes a problem.

[A sigh and he shrugs, long-suffering.]

Or I guess you could just not fall off of any more buildings.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

The latter sounds nice.

[She shrugs and smiles apologetically. There is a great lack of interest in changing some things, Matthew. What's wrong with assuming she won't be worried after and taken care of? It makes her responsible for once.]

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright! I know when I'm beat.

[A sigh and he shakes his head.]

Don't fall off any other buildings then.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Well in case you're doubting, this time was hardly on purpose.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

I had been wondering!

I thought maybe you were trying to get out of some sort of work.
