[ bellamy feels like he's pushing it. he doesn't usually deal with this unless it's o. no one gets much of him unless they're octavia blake. but sometimes there's things people need to hear — raven not wanting to go back home, raven not wanting him to leave, and raven believing eudio might be dull without him are things he didn't know he needed to hear. ]
[ it's not meant to. if bellamy leaves, it's not meant to hurt anyone. but he's beginning to realise things aren't so black and white anymore. where he'd only had octavia, he now has other people. and his decisions, much like the ones he's made on the ground, have a ripple effect. ]
[ it's not with unkindness in his tone, but a warmth: ] Then what the hell are you worried about? I'll stick around until you find someone who would make Eudio suck ass more than I would if they left.
[ which, the underlying message is: it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to fit the bill. ]
[she rolls her eyes at the wall in front of her, and then looks sideways to where gruff is snoozing, happy, his big belly rising and falling with each inhale and exhale.
she'd miss him if he were gone, her dragon. but she'd also hope that, if she ever leaves (against her wish) (a glitch), then gruff will go back to berk and be happy there. hopefully.]
Who says I'm worried, [comes the warm answer, soft,] nerd.
[ he doesn't believe her, but bellamy doesn't want this to feel uncomfortable, either. he's not clarke, who might push. he's not octavia, who might stomp her feet until she gets a confession. he knows what he needs to know — or thinks he needs to know. he doesn't push. all this conversation does is give him something to mull over, if he chooses to. being so narrow-sighted has driven him to always wanting to dive off that cliff after octavia. but maybe this is the lesson his sister wants him to learn — that there are other people who need him just as much as she does. ]
[ he sighs, and rubs his face with his hand, suddenly feeling tired. regardless of how contented he may feel, octavia's still gone, and the reminder still upsets him. ]
I need to figure something out. [ about what he's going to do, what to do with himself ... it sounds like he's busier when it's phrased like that. ] Just wanted you to know she's gone.
