Sisky grunted, smiling as her hair was ruffled. You're not that bad.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:39 pm

Well... You can't be a worse parent than Ryland? Matt tried again.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:43 pm

Then that would make me the second worst parent ever. At least I can't be the worst. Sisky grinned, feeling better.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:43 pm

I'll help you. Matt said firmly.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:46 pm

You will? Thank you. Sisky smiled shyly and looked up at the tree they were sitting under.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:47 pm

Matt shrugged. No promises it won't turn into a homicidal maniac though.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:51 pm

Sisky huffed. You can be gentle too.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:52 pm

Won't be any help in teaching it to talk. Matt told her, smirking.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:56 pm

Sisky paused, blinking then chuckled. Okay fine, not with that. You've got a point.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:57 pm

Matt leant his head in the fork in the tree. I thought two people were needed to make a baby...

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:59 pm

Sisky breathed in sharply, smile fading instantly. You're right.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:01 pm

You're only one... Matt's brow furrowed. I think. I'm not very good at counting.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:03 pm

No. You're right. Sisky put her head down on her knees. I didn't make this baby alone.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:08 pm

Anxiously, Matt put his arm around the girl's thin shoulders. He didn't pry anymore, scared of the answer.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:12 pm

Sisky looked up at Matt and leaned against him. Her eyes darkened as she tried to figure out what she shoud do. Matt?

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:14 pm

Yeah? Matt squeezed her shoulders.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:18 pm

I'm not a good person. Not at all. Sisky closed her eyes.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:21 pm

You're better than me. Matt gently traced a pattern on her forearm.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:26 pm

No, I'm not... Sisky watched Matt's fingers. She wanted to let him into her mind to know everything she had experienced, but she didn't want to scare him away. Have you ever done something you'd do anything to take back?

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:28 pm

A better question would be if I'd done something I wouldn't want to take back. Matt replied.

Subject: Re: Branches Mon Oct 15, 2007 3:33 pm

Oh. Sisky rethought what she was trying to say. If you liked someone would it matter to you what terrible things they'd done?

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:08 pm

Matt raised his eyebrow. He drew away to look at her. I've killed and tortured hundreds of people. William almost lost his babies because of me. I'm in no position to judge anyone.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:13 pm

I... Sisky bit her lip and looked away. I don't want to lie to you so...

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:15 pm

Matt leant his arms on knees with a sigh.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:24 pm

I was stuck small and the only way I know how to fix myself when that happens is by getting the hiccups so Mike put me in a glass of champagne. And then um... I turned into a girl and other stuff and I threw up and felt a little better. And... Um... Sisky thought fast then squinted, trying to remember what came next.
