[chad does not take the napkin.]

What do you mean?
katzepaw: (drop of water)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Still. Holding it out.]

I worry I'll inspire worse. Oh, well. Your eyes changed color and you started speaking to yourself. Arguing.
inaccordant: (5. dawn)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-23 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[still not taking it i'm sorry]

I... did? [he blinks.] Are you sure it wasn't just a trick of the light?
katzepaw: (shamrock leaf)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-23 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
A trick of the light? That you were arguing with yourself and hit your head?
inaccordant: (10. exasperated)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-23 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
My eyes, I mean. Why would my eyes be turning red?
katzepaw: (fingernail)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-23 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, but they were red.
inaccordant: (8. hydrangea)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-23 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[he just wipes at the blood again even though caleb is right there with a napkin.]

Then it was probably just the light.
katzepaw: (fingernail)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-23 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
If you say so.

[It wasn't. So stubborn. Chad is actually such a weirdo.]

So you aren't concerned about the rest of it. . . ?
inaccordant: (22. art. neutral)

... I can't speak about something I have no recollection of. As it is, I can only go off your word—which, no offence, isn't necessarily worth that much.
katzepaw: (engraved object)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-23 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He. . . laughs a little at that. Okay, kiddo.]

No, it isn't. But I envy you your confidence. I doubt I could have such confidence in my own mind, since I know what it is to have it tampered with.
inaccordant: (5. dawn)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-23 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's silent for a bit.]

... What point is there in lacking confidence? Even if there is something wrong with me... if words alone—or standing here questioning my sanity—could change it, it likely would've been undone weeks ago.

I'd rather focus on something productive than waste time stressing over the unknown.
katzepaw: (stone)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-23 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose the point would be to accept the help of others in facing something you cannot change alone.
inaccordant: (10. exasperated)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-23 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What help could you possibly offer right now? You can barely help yourselves.
katzepaw: (coal)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-24 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That's very true. Maybe nothing I can offer right now.

But a lot of people have underestimated my capabilities before and have been wrong.
inaccordant: (22. art. neutral)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-24 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Then use those capabilities to help yourselves first.
