[ i'm sorry goose this is just what you get. ]

[ winces a little. ]

No. It should be him. She wouldn't have let them both go.

But I'm not even sure when that one takes place or whatever you've seen - I thought I understood the timeline but maybe I don't?

Given that you've have memories of body hopping...who knows. Maybe she can do that too.

Either way, I haven't seen anything yet that warrants Billy Boy having so much faith in her.

[ He's not sure about the first part - if only because it didn't feel like it. It felt pointed - like it was a him thing. He doesn't say that. Hearing his name aloud again is enough to distract him with a breath. ]

There's these moments when she's nice... When she seems protective of him. That he's felt it - just a little - but it's not often and she's very good at lying and manipulation.

Huuuh.

[he leans back in his chair, arms crossed]

Well if you're anything alike, it's no wonder ya get along with folks like me. You put way too much faith in folks--only difference is I ain't lyin', and you know it's the truth.

[ ... ]

Maybe I put just the right amount of faith in people. Everyone is capable of good and I can see that.

She has some.

So do you.

Not enough in my opinion.

But given that other one I saw, you probably wore her down with that kinda thinking. You should see it for yourself.

With thinking people are better than they'll let themselves be?

[ it's lightly said, almost a joke - but he holds his hand out for the paper. ]

Yep. You're real genuine. Think even the worst kinds of people would at least take a beat before stabbin' ya in the back.

[hands it over thru the window]

[ makes a face like he thinks that's an inaccurate assessment about him. but the reality is goose came in when he really started trying to be himself - so maybe that's the only him goose knows. ]

[ shakes his head and opens the paper instead. ]

[ ... ]

[ closes his hand on the paper. ]

Coven two. I don't get it.

Hm? What part? Here I thought it'd make more sense for you.

Other then the why is she dead?

I know covens are fated. Some part of them is like destiny -[ another glance at his hand ]- like the whole dying thing, I guess.

But he should know better than to trust her and it seems like. [ a frown. ] He's just accepted that he'll be just as bad as she is? I don't know.

. . .

[trying to squash the faint thought of bro i think your other self might be a lil stupid,]

[BUT SHRUGS]

Well.

I'm always tellin' you to trust yer gut, yeah?

Maybe that's what he's doing.

[ good thing goose does not know that other him decided to meet a strange man from the internet almost without telling anyone huh - ]

[ :/ ]

So the gut being "wow I'm a murderer and a bad person".

[bro!!]

I don't think that's the gut feeling he was goin' with, since he immediately started sympathizing and left a memorial and shit.

More like he's the type that doesn't give second chances--he gives infinite ones.

Shouldn't that be the kind of gut feeling you tell me not to follow?

My gut feeling is to murder people who piss me off, even if others think it's a bad idea.

So who am I to tell you yer instincts are off? I'm an asshole, not a hypocrite.
