...

I'm confused. You want to... protect me, Graham? That doesn't sound like you.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

Not from everythin'. Just certain things.

[chondriosome]

And what "certain things" do you think I need to be protected from?

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind.

[chondriosome]

It's not like I'm asking you some kind of trick question. It just strikes me as odd. I wouldn't peg you for being the protective type.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

I am of people who matter.

[chondriosome]

...

You really have changed.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

--Don't! Say that! I didn't! I haven't changed, I've always been like this -- I just haven't found a whole lot of people who matter in my life so this isn't anything new!

[chondriosome]

I know you're very adamant against the idea of changing, but you have. If not a little. Sometimes they just start off as small things, so you don't even notice them.

And... it's not always a bad thing, either. I don't think I'd care about you if I hadn't changed in some way.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm worried about, changin' without realizin' it, not noticin' until it's too late and I'm already someone I don't recognize.

...

You wouldn't? Or maybe I'm more surprised that you said you do.

[chondriosome]

I don't think you've got much to worry about. I really wouldn't want you to be any other way.

...you're kidding, right? Even now you'd think that? To be honest, I--want to protect you, too. At least, the best I can.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

...

I -- don't know how I should feel about you sayin' that. On one hand, I'm elated! But on the other, I want you to swear you won't try and protect me -- under most circumstances! Maybe it's a good thing we aren't going to remember this conversation...!

[chondriosome]

As I recall, I already did that when the Burrowers were staking outside of your place. It may seem strange where you're coming from, but it's in my nature to protect people. I've saved even Kyle's sorry butt on a few occasions.

If I say we'll look out for each other, will that save your manly pride?

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

Under most circumstances! That was an unusual case! -- But regardless! It's not my pride that I'm sayin' this for. So can we make a deal of goin' against our natures instead; that being I look out for you, and since it's your nature to protect people, you don't look out for me?

[chondriosome]

Normally, I wouldn't care enough to even want to look out for someone like you, so the fact that I am would go against my nature anyway. Looks like you're just going to have to deal with it.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

Alright, but I warned you! Now you can't get upset with me when somethin' does happen and it's out of your control to stop it!

[chondriosome]

Well, I can, since--like you pointed out earlier, we're not going to remember having this conversation afterwards. Even if my feelings will still be the same.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

I'll have to find a way to talk you out of that where we will remember, considerin' it's a possibility I'll be dyin' soon! An~d I don't really want you gettin' upset over somethin' like that.

[chondriosome]

...

Something like that's going to make me upset, anyway.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

I'll come back, it's nothin' permanent.

[chondriosome]

...

It bothers you when I'm hurt, doesn't it?

[Totally relevant.]

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

[This feels like a trap.]

Yeah.

[chondriosome]

Then maybe you can wrap your head around the fact that you have no right to tell me not to be upset when the same happens to you. Just because something's "not permanent" doesn't mean that I can stomach seeing the people I care about suffer.

[storybreaker.livejournal.com]

I would agree with you if it was somethin' that I would find disagreeable but I wouldn't be suffering!
