A cranky tiny is scrutinizing them as if he's seriously considering adding more.]

Then . . . wouldn't it have been like I just said?

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

I guess, I...

*shakes his head*

Sorry to bother you with it. If it does upset you or anything, just... I'll try to keep things separated.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It really is fine. Right now, I'd be the one bothering them, wouldn't I?

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

I don't think it would bother them that much... it doesn't really bother me, most of the time.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Really?

She hasn't changed who you are. You're still you, she's just there listening in. And most of the time, the Judges could be listening anyway.

Thank you, Edward.

It's the truth, s'all. And I don't think there's many people who could dislike you, even with Mirror still there.

[Touches her shoulder, almost unconsciously.]

. . . not me. But for some people, the Mirror they know becomes all they can see.

*only partially raising his head*

But there's still others.

I... can't say for sure, but I don't think it would bother Jace, at least. But it's your choice... and if it's what you want, I'll keep to our side.

You don't have to! The foyer . . . we made it so that our teams could have visitors, and it's the biggest space . . . I don't mind staying in Pavo's side at all, so you shouldn't ever have to . . .

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

But you shouldn't have to stay over there all the time. Maybe not with Jace, but if there's other people here who don't mind it, you shouldn't have to always leave!

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Lepus and Monoceros don't visit much.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure they're not the only ones who don't mind.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Who else?

She's hurt a lot of people. Some of them have tried to hurt her, too.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

She's hurt me before. In Games and outside them. Usually just with words in those cases, but those can be worse than actual injury. And I don't mind. I can't be the only person who feels that way.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

You're the only person outside of those teams and Pavo that's said so. The only one I know.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

Maybe I am the only one. But if you're already staying away anyway, can it really hurt to ask them?
