I know, Bruce, Lord, I know--or I don't, but it's not the damn point, I just--I don't even want you to forgive me, I just want you to work right. Hurt less. I don't know.

[caballero]

Have you considered the idea that I'm as fixed as I get?

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

Let me think on that for just one sec, honey.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I considered it, it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[caballero]

I'm serious, Cat. We're in meta here - my life, the things I do - you can't expect me to function like a normal person.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

I'm not talking about normal, I'm talking about better. Don't sit there and tell me you're okay or that you can keep on like this, because this is meta, and I know better.

[caballero]

I don't have time.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

Look where you are. You've got nothing but time, Bruce.

[caballero]

I may not want to blow the place up, but I don't want to resign myself to an alien prison, either.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

Don't get resigned, I'm just saying you could advantage of the circumstances while you're in them - Lord, this is the wrong source for you to hear this from.

[caballero]

Who says we'll remember anything when we leave? If we leave? If we aren't all dead already?

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

So because you don't know if it'll last you aren't going to take care of yourself?

[caballero]

I'm taking care of myself fine. I'm just not wasting time with therapy that's going to be obliterated the second I go back to work.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

Bruce.

[caballero]

And maybe I don't want to.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

Why do you think you deserve to feel like this?

[caballero]

I'm not-- we're not doing that head shrinking bullshit.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

I'm asking because I don't get it, Bruce, maybe you can make it make some sense to me and I'll leave you the hell alone. Maybe you're just as miserable as you deserve to be, I don't know.

[caballero]

I'm capable of this. It's my decision. I can't stop.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

Horseshit. You don't think I know what a martyr looks like?

[caballero]

I've made several. Which you've seen.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

You can't make martyrs, you know, not unless they changed something since last I checked. You've got to choose to be one, by hanging onto what you believe until it kills you.

I guess maybe I just don't believe in anything that much.

[caballero]

It's not always that easy.

And maybe I will be, if I live long enough. I'd rather believe.

[lambentstar.livejournal.com]

And you can't argue with belief, can you.

[caballero]

Why would I want to, at this point?
