"I don't want the sky to listen or talk back," she said, softly. "I want it to ignore me. Just an insane child who has burned down too many things. Not a threat, and not someone who deserves to die." She stuck her hands in her pockets. "Just once, I want everything to ignore me. Which I have apparently failed at." Should she be out here alone? No, which was why this kid was here, apparently. Problem solved. She squinted at him. Was he a cultist in disguise? "I'm Ash," she said, unsurely. She was far from a nickname basis with this potential murderer, but she just went by Ash now. It was practically her name. It was fitting. She burned stuff down, her life was burning down, and she was missing the important life stuff. No. Ashley was too long and too normal. Ash was short, and depressing, and referenced fire. Yeah. She was Ash now. But who was this? She narrowed her eyes. "You are?" And if he answered in a way she didn't like, she was absolutely gonna run for it. Stranger danger. Maybe he was Emmerson in disguise. This one was feisty, wasn't she? Ilya's eyes stuck on her as she spoke... and spoke... got up... and spoke. She was almost as annoying as Bernie was when she was her age. He remembered those times fondly- fondly because he was still avoiding Bernie this year because of all the complicated stuff going on in his mind. The girl surprisingly was making sense, though. Wanting to be ignored? That meant she was seeking peace, wasn't she? He wondered briefly why she was so tormented over whatever was going on in school. For him, it wasn't that big of a deal because--get that-- it didn't affect him directly. He stayed out of the way and hoped for the best.
"Ilya. Listen, Ash, I think you're overthinking things." He provided his name automatically, and focused on the second half of the sentence. "And what do you mean burned down too many things?" Was this an analogy or did he have an actual disaster maker on his hands? |
