It's been a few days since Laura got out the hospital, and nothing important or interesting has happened. Except for Theo and Sadde having just captured a new card, Glow, though that's debatably quite boring. Theo turns to Sadde, as though she might have the answers. "Okay, seriously, a card that glows? First it's wind, then it's a huge bird, then you have a blue lizard, there's a bloody Easter bunny, then a shadow, then a sword, and now a card that glows?"
Is there something nice and soft that he can throw at Sadde? Because he really wants to throw something nice and soft at Sadde.
Oh, look, does a book count? Because he totally just threw a small book at Sadde.
He looks a little less like he's going to throw something and more like he might bite Sadde, now. While meanwhile possibly crying.
Sadde, though, notices the almost-crying part. "Tyler... I'm sure you remember the talk Theo and I had about communication and saying what's on your mind, so, could you talk? Please?"
"Why the fuck should I know?" he growls. "You touched me and apparently I have some fucking trigger to touching."
"Okay, no touching," he says, raising his hands to the level of his shoulders, palm forward.
"Well, are you sure it's touch phobia as opposed to, I don't know, I just startled you out of meditation?"
"Well I don't know but right now I don't feel particularly inclined to find out."
He shakes his head a few times and then gets up. "I should not have thrown the book," he says, not putting much emotion into it. "We should go."
Then they will head to Willow's house, Theo making sure not to get too close to Tyler.
Tyler won't make any obvious flinch away from anyone unless they get really close. He does not want this to affect whatever life he has left from this point.
Stupid Twin.
And eventually they arrive at Willow's place!
...it is a bloody gigantic mansion. "You did not tell me she lived in a bloody gigantic mansion."
"We… did not know she lived in a 'bloody gigantic mansion'. Unless I'm forgetting something that my dear brother-slash-twin-slash-progenitor happens to remember?"
"Who even uses the word 'progenitor'?" asks Theo, squinting at Tyler a bit. "But anyway, no, I did not know she lived in a bloody gigantic mansion."
"Well. Erm. One of you should probably ring the bell, given I've never seen the girl in my life?"
