That's right. And that's because I'm a mutant.

[ got the fancy codename and everything. but god, he hates that codename. ]

It's a genetic thing. I've got something called an X gene that made me...well, this. And people don't always take kindly to this.

Yeah. [ and sometimes those people included those who were supposed to love you and support you no matter what. sometimes those people looked at you like you were the worst thing to ever happen to them too. he doesn't go that deep into his past though. just blows out a breath and smiles a little when her fingers curl around his.

the bond sparks to life and he's able to feel that she means it, that she's not just saying words she thinks she wants him to hear. ]


I got lucky. If you look at me, you can't really tell. I know people who had a harder time because their mutations were pretty obvious. Hard to go out in public so they either hid themselves behind makeup and masks or just hid.

Sounds similar. Similar enough that I'm sure they probably went through some of the same crap we do. You learn to live with it which is...terrible but unavoidable unless you do wanna go to ground. Which some people do.

[ and then it was their job to support those that couldn't support themselves. it was one of the things he missed about home, being able to help in that way. the squeeze of his hand keeps him from getting too far down that rabbit hole and he exhales. ]

No need to be sorry. You didn't do anything. I appreciate it but don't worry about it. I've gotten used to it. [ unfortunately. ] Anyway, I'm making this about me and it's not. I appreciate you being honest about things. You didn't have to but I appreciate that you trusted me enough.

[ he's not going to lie, he'd like to be somewhere stable. bouncing around from the safehouse to jyn's place and then adding in a brothel just to keep out of sight was kind of exhausting. it'd be nice to live in one place. still... ]

Are you sure? [ it's not so much doubt for her abilities but he remembers all too vividly how dangerous the men who'd grabbed him were. and while a lot of them were dead, there were still more where that came from. ]

I appreciate the offer and really, I'd like to get in a place where I'm not constantly moving but I don't want you to say that if you're not sure.

[ it's easy to feel the confidence she has in herself and her ability to deal with whatever trouble he might bring to her door because of all this. he hopes that it won't happen but she deserved to know and decide for herself.

and it seems that she has with what he's getting from her. he bows his head, thankful, and gives her hand an answering squeeze, letting his own feelings of gratitude and appreciation slide over. ]


I've heard of him. We haven't met personally.

[ but he's seen the name on the network, at least. ]

He the other guy you're thinking of asking? Or you've already asked?
heliophilous: (【SEVENTY NINE】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, he sounds a lot better than me.

[ kidding kidding. he's house trained and he's good at not leaving the seat up unless he's exhausted or drunk. but he was trying to make those less of an occurrence these days. ]

I'll see if I can't track him down. I've been laying pretty low since everything went down just in case. No need to drag my baggage and drop it at some unsuspecting person's feet. Seems like a bad first impression to make.

Some people would argue that I am just as bad as I say I am.

[ none of those people were here so guess it was his word against hers or something. ]

However you wanna work it is fine with me. I just appreciate the offer. I wasn't sure what I was gonna do when I realized that going back to the safehouse was a no go.
heliophilous: (【SIXTY TWO】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Probably a good idea so I don't get lost.

[ not that her apartment was some oversized mansion or anything. but still, a tour sounded like a good idea especially if he was actually going to pull the trigger on this move. ]

I wouldn't wanna move out of a place this nice too. Don't get me wrong, the places people have offered me while I've been kind of getting myself back together have been nice but it'd be nice to just be in one place.

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I've only been here once and I can vouch for the comfort of your couch so already starting off the tour strong.

[ he keeps the wine with him as well, sipping it as he follows her path. ]

It's cozy. Comfortable.

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I can help you do that, if you want. [ he's made some headway on a new job but he hasn't started just yet so he still has some time that he's mostly been spending moping around.

this would probably be better. ]


Nicest apartment I've ever been invited to share. [ west lake hadn't been bad at all but there were some pretty nasty memories clinging to that place. ] I'll keep it neat and tidy, I promise.
heliophilous: (【ONE HUNDRED TWENTY SIX】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Done, then.

[ it'd be a favor to him to give him something to distract his mind and he'd feel like he was helping her out when she was going above and beyond to help him out and there was no real way to show appreciation except be on his best behavior. ]

I promise, I'm not as bad as I'm making myself sound. I've lived on my own before, I know how to keep things in good working order. My best friend's a former marine. He'd never talk to me if I was a slob.
heliophilous: (【ONE HUNDRED THIRTY】)

[personal profile] heliophilous 2019-08-09 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, deal. I should be able to start the new job in a few days once all that paperwork goes through so I'll be around to be an errand boy.

[ he's a great errand boy. lots of experience. ]

Thank you again. I owe you. [ between listening to him retell some of what happened to him and now this, he feels like he owes her big. ]
