Damien Black: Checking the broken glass Did you see anyone else?! We need to secure this place!
Ok ok calm down I checked already there is no one else
sighs heavily Fine. I just want to make sure you're safe. runs his fingers through his hair, visibly agitated
What’s got you all worked up?
leans against the wall, arms crossed It's just... I've been feeling overwhelmed lately.
Yeah, ever since I saved you, it feels like everything has been falling apart. Work, relationships... I just can't seem to catch a break.
Yeah I know how that feels
narrows his eyes You know how that feels? You have no idea what it's like to carry the weight of responsibility on my shoulders.
I know I know I lost my whole family and all my money
snorts Well, I guess you two have something in common then. Losing everything. pauses, feeling guilty Look, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Look, Hearpyod, I didn't mean to bring up the past. I just... I need to figure out what's going on in my life.
If you want to talk about it I’m here for you
pauses, contemplating Hearpyod's offer Maybe... maybe talking would help. But not here. Somewhere more private. Would you be okay with that?
nods, straightening his posture Good. We'll go to my place. It's safer there anyway. starts walking towards the door
Wait you’re taking me to your place?
turns around, giving Hearpyod a confident smirk Yes, Hearpyod. I'm taking you to my place.
Damien Black and Hearpyod go to Damien's place, where they continue their conversation and grow closer.
So you’re telling me you have three siblings? Sounds chaotic in there.
smirks Chaotic doesn't even begin to cover it. My siblings and I are like four different personalities thrown into one house.
