Fourth Beat | My Apologies Dear For All My Mistakes

[knightime]

Characters: Dave Strider and Jade Harley
Format: Any/Either
This log is: Closed
Location: Outside of Fortitude; Wednesday after his match with Estonia/Sis
Summary: Dave just won Sis from Estonia. He's sore as hell, but feeling pretty good. And a good friend brings his cheer to his other friends right? And he knows Jade is still getting used to everything, so maybe she'll want that cheer too. Things don't go as planned.
Warnings: Sad children ahoy, TEENAGE DRAMA, Whatever else applies to friends fighting

Dave didn't realize how hard it would be to beat Estonia, and if he weren't so goddamn determined to win Sis off her, he probably would have lost otherwise. He's feeling pretty beat up (dear god she packed a punch) and he knows he's going to be sore as hell in the morning, if not now. But, he did win and he felt pretty good about it. He hoped Sis was proud of him for actually winning.

But right now, he had promised Jade (what's her name???) that he'd meet up with her. She wanted to talk. Hopefully she wasn't getting picked on or anything. He'd have to find the bitch who was messing with her then. Maybe she'd feel better if he told her she could meet Sis finally. And that maybe he wanted to spread whatever good feelings he had at the moment with her. If it makes her smile, then he'll feel pretty good for the rest of the day, despite his body being against him at the moment.

She probably didn't know what he looked like so he'll wave at her once he sees her.

He can hear her, loud and clear. And he wish he couldn't, because each scream goes straight to his heart and it hurts so much to hear her. To know that he's the reason she's screaming and crying like that. And he wants to desperately turn around and try and fix things, but he's supposed to follow her wishes and not, right? That's what good friends do, listen to them and do what they want them to. But what if doing what they said to do cause more grief? He doesn't know which is better so he just keeps walking, rubbing his eyes and letting out soundless sobs.

He's just mouthing out 'I'm sorry' as he walks. She'll never hear it because he can't even hear it himself. The voice in his mind doesn't count.
