I know there's not.

[ And he struggles still, with there not being an obviously right answer to everything, with the path forward into safety being littered with traps. He would rather his friends be hurt from the accusations and their fallout than be dead, but he feels sick to his stomach over the hurt he's already caused. ]

We can't lock up everyone. Even if we all agreed, the Balfours won't. We'll be stuck playing this game until it's done or we're in the ground.

I love you too, Koby. Tell Quentin, too.

Just remember being careful isn't just investigating, okay? You and your crew took some heat back there.
holyposition: (thoughtful cuddle)

If I tell him to get in bed, he will, don't worry. 😊

Louis and Matt said their powers weren't acting normally, either. So they must not want interference with the game.

Check in as much as you want to.

You can come.

I'd like that
holyposition: (what i wouldn't give)

[personal profile] holyposition 2024-10-12 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The door is locked. But Tim will come. ]

Hi.

[ Soft, raspy. There's a welt around his neck he thinks to hide under a turtleneck, but decided against it. Someone did this to him. And until they're caught, they need the reminder. ]
holyposition: (what now)

[personal profile] holyposition 2024-10-12 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He'll be jumpy, sensitive to unexpected touch for a while. Koby might not see it, because Koby is safe, and Tim knows that, so when he's touched he doesn't flinch, he leans right into it and reaches for more, pulling him into a hug, as tight as he can muster with the exhaustion. ]

How's Nami?
holyposition: (you can't hold me AND make me sad)

[personal profile] holyposition 2024-10-12 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't concerned about being accused.

[ Because he didn't do it, and he does his best not to rustle feathers. His name had only come up once, with Armand's pettiness. ]

They'll come for Hawk next, for saving me.
holyposition: (euphoric in some strange delight)

No. I'm not hiding down there while someone who tried to kill me waits for a chance to do it again. I want to fight.

[ Not...literally, if he can avoid it, but with his head, with his friends, with their minds and their votes together. They can beat this. He has to believe they can beat this. ]

They will. Unless we get three, now, then they'll be few enough to go for bigger targets.

[ Alina, Pierce, Matt. He hates the way he's thinking, like they're just chess pieces, or shields he can throw in front of Hawk. Tim doesn't know if he's strong or brave enough to keep all his promises, and that feels just as bad as the aching bruise that collars his neck. ]

[ Tim's exhausted and every breath is like fire in his throat, so he's not hard to convince. He complies, ruffling Koby's hair as he pulls away to perch himself on the edge of the bed. ]

Could you get the kettle? Tea with honey helps. You can bring some back for Nami.
holyposition: (cranky sleepy baby)

[ He watches Koby for a moment more, before settling back against the headboard with a wince. The red welt around his throat is the most obvious, but there's bumps and scrapes all over, a cut on his chest, road rash on his back, all resulting from getting dragged through the grounds. He's not comfortable, and probably won't be for some time. ]

Even if she doesn't. It hurts to talk.
holyposition: (the poison from the paint)

[personal profile] holyposition 2024-10-14 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
I do.

[ The clock keeps ticking whether he wants it to or not. ]

Shanks, your friend. Can you convince him to save one of the witches next round?
holyposition: (we'll pretend it ends tomorrow)

[personal profile] holyposition 2024-10-14 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Alina and Pierce. If Nami keeps her head down this time, she shouldn't need him.

[ Hopefully. The doctors need to protect those that have the most helpful roles, so that the most people can survive. Easier said than done, with any chance of Hawk choosing anyone other than Tim died the second that belt wrapped around his neck. ]

You're blushing. You like him?
holyposition: (soup boy)

[personal profile] holyposition 2024-10-14 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ "Menacingly"...yeah, right. ]

Come on. Tell me something good that isn't "are you okay, you should lay down, tell me everything you remember for the fifteenth time."

[ Take my mind off the feeling of the next breath being my last. ]
