Going Crazy Tyren Orca - District Two - Seventeen To me, the conversation is interesting. Interesting in how it is formulated. It is moving to and from certain topics, onto new ones and over old ones. It is quickly doing so, but it is, and I notice. "No, not really." It is strange, or maybe it isn't, how suddenly I'm not convinced. I have no problem with it, though. "I though me and Kyanite could work but ...I'm not sure that I could work out with any girl. If not her then who?" What are you trying to tell me here Matthew? I hide my thoughts of strangeness about the topic, and allow him to continue. "How do you do it? How do you get into a chicks brain?" He asks. "I guess I just commit myself. I make sure I spend time with her," I look at him, copying his weird half-smile again, mockingly saying; "or him." I pause briefly after laughing. After he asked about my cousin, and I answered, he follows my reply; "I've heard stories like that before. Seems to happen more in the lower districts. i can see why those poor buggers would run away." He's right, it's just awful elsewhere. But here? I don't understand Joe's motives. "I'm worried for him." Matthew tells me of the wanderer that he encountered, ending with "Gay as well.." My face looks utterly unconvinced. I can tell it is the drink that is making him say things like this, but why? I'm just curious now. If he's going to say something, he'd best just say it. I laugh awkwardly at it, as if it were a joke but I'm not sure whether I should laugh. "What did the peace keepers say? Did you report him missing?" "I haven't heard anything from the Peacekeepers, and my family are afraid that reporting him missing will spur investigation, meaning trouble for anybody related. If he has done something, telling the Peacekeepers could get him caught. And us getting caught not telling them can have us charged with helping him by not telling..." I sound as though I only just understood what I had said. I do it a lot, I over complicate things and somehow get through the sentence. I take another drink, the glass almost finished at last. I look at him, figuring him out. I'm still unconvinced. |
