William nodded. "It always has," he frowned slightly, still staring down at his palm.

Mike's hand curled up in a fist, barely touching the skin. "Are you serious? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because Ryland did something to the bones there a while ago. It's been like that ever since. I just haven't coughed up blood before," he admitted.

Mike's eyes widened even more. "What did he do? Bill, you don't understand, it...i-it could be something serious, something really serious..."

William bit his lip. "He stepped on me and kicked me a few times. It was harder than usual, but nothing out of the ordinary," he frowned. "What do you think is wrong?" he asked, looking worried.

"You're 217 years old," Mike stated. "Broken bones that don't heal properly can grow the wrong way after a while and harm vital organs. Certainly."

William put a hand to his forehead, tugging at some of his hair lightly as he covered his eyes for a moment. He took a deep breath, putting his frail arms back down before looking worried again. "What am I going to do?" he asked, mostly to himself.

"I don't know if there's anything we can do about it," Mike admitted sadly. "If it doesn't get any more painful with the time, maybe you could ignore it."

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Wed Oct 24, 2007 9:04 pm

William nodded, biting his lip again. "It's one thing or another, isn't it?" he asked, smiling sadly up at Mike.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Wed Oct 24, 2007 9:09 pm

Mike shook his head. "We don't have to think about it. Things like that happen when we least expect them. I don't want us to constantly live in fear of something that might happen."

William sighed, looking up at the ceiling and then back at Mike. "Just as long as I get to stay here with you, then I'll be fine," he smiled.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Wed Oct 24, 2007 9:16 pm

Mike smiled back, already convinced. "Of course you'll get to stay here with me. Isn't that the whole point?"

William smiled, walkingover and giving Mike a brief hug before turning to face the kitchen door and biting his lip in well-hidden anxiety. "Let's get them and get going."

Matt slipped an arm around the girl's shoulders affectionately.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:43 am

Sisky smiled and touched Matt's arm.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:44 am

Why do you keep doing that? Matt looked at her curiously.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:52 am

Sisky tilted her head to look up at him. Because I like touching you. She hoped Matt wouldn't take her words the wrong way.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:55 am

Matt laughed, squeezing her shoulders gently.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:57 am

Sisky smiled and shifted a little, cuddling into Matt's side.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 8:58 am

Matt leant his head on the top of hers. I like you.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:06 am

Sisky's eyes widened a little then she smiled. I like you too.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:10 am

You're nice. Matt smiled.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 11:39 am

So are you. Sisky smiled a little sadly as she thought about what the other people in the house were nice but were probably hiding their real thoughts about her.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 11:43 am

What's up? Matt rubbed her shoulder gently.

Subject: Re: Answers that we'll never find... Thu Oct 25, 2007 11:50 am

Hmm? I was just thinking. Sisky smiled. I like how you still like me even after everything I've done.
