@-upthathill         it was an honest question,  mad max.  [  the nudge shifts him over just slightly,  quickly recovering at her side with a wide grin  ]    wouldn’t you like to know?

            not just insensitive. plain  /stupid/, stalker.   [  half-playfully and half-annoyed, she nudges his side with her elbow. ]    but fine, you've got me interested. where are we going?

@-upthathill           i admit that was a little..   insensitive?   but,  trust me on this,  the surprise is worth it. 

I'm  onto  you,  sinclair  >:/  I  really  hope  you  know  what's  the  better  choice  between  the  two.  you're  a  great  player

@hunthefreak          eddie is not..  the enemy—    he was just..    he was asking a question about my friends.   

no  I  saw  you  talking  to  munson  and  his  little  freaky  goons!.

@hawkinscvnt         ..thanks.  i hate that she’s even here,  but the cops are still on our asses.  if it were up to me?  she’d be at home.   —you think this’ll work?

listening actively..   i don't know why you kids ever try lying.   [..]   what i was saying,  though,  is that you focus on max completely.   i'll keep you two safe in the house and keep an eye on erica.

@hawkinscvnt          because i was listening..   actively?   (…)  i was just thinking,  and i may’ve—   overdone it.   but im listening now.

I  mean . . .  as  long  as  he  knows  your  here -  do  you  want  me  to  take  it  to  his  room?

@hollybraids          im just..   dropping something off for him.   he knows im here.

            [  his words settle in her beating chest like honey. a tear slides down her cheek as she nods. no one understands her like lucas, no matter how hard she once tried to shut him out. ]    you're right. i-i didn't want that at all. the truth is i, i needed you and i was scared. i didn't think that- well, i thought you deserved better.   (..)   doesn't matter now though. and i think i can agree to no more silence.  :)     honestly though,,  i haven't talked to people in a  /while/. what d'you wanna hear about?

@-upthathill        i know you did.   but..   i could never really walk away from /you/ max.  —i don’t think..   i don’t think you ever wanted me to,  anyway.    you needed me to understand.    i just had to..    listen to what your silence was telling me.    (…)     you can..   thank me—    by talking my ear off?   i think i’ve had enough of you being silent for a lifetime. 

(  @rangerd  )
            
            you never have.   [  tears fill her eyes now, and her breath hitches as she feels, truly feels, his thumb brush over her hand. finally, she can squeeze it back. ]    you had..  i gave you  /so/  many reasons to walk away.  (..)   i really could never thank you enough, lucas. i mean, you must've been sitting there playing her every single day.

@-upthathill    /     I HAVE COME TO DELIVERRRR

/  i’ve been waiting for a lucas  :'))

 @hawkinscvnt     /     EXACTLY 

@hearthero         nothing we haven’t done before.   —you think this could be it?  the one?
