-3° - Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot

[catchacold]

[The feed comes to life and Leonard's sitting in his room, mostly illuminated by candle-light, which does soften the still visible bruises (as a result of this) on his face a little. He's playing with a lighter in one hand, turning it, palming it and flipping it open and shut, but never actually lighting it.

Mostly he looks at the camera, both eye by now able to open fully again.]

Time doesn't really seem to do much in the way of passing here, but things happen anyway. So, guess this is still a worthwhile question.

You got any resolutions?

[Which of course also begs the question whether he has any himself. He looks as if he wants to keep talking at first, but his mouth stays shut and he looks off past the camera, the flame of a candle reflected in his eyes. Finally he cuts off the video.]

Is one of yours 'don't be a punching bag'?

[catchacold]

Nah. I feel that earns me a lot of sympathy, works for me.

[allaboutme]

Not everybody feels sorry for losers.

[catchacold]

Oh, burn.

[A snort rather than feeling insulted, but still.]

The other guy did come out looking better, you got a point.

[allaboutme]

So what exactly started it?

[catchacold]

This guy in juvie saved me from getting shanked and, thirty years later, that pretty much led up to this.

[allaboutme]

Thirty years later? Oh my god, how old are you? Or were you in the clink when you were like five?

[catchacold]

Nah, I'm forty-four. [He just has unfairly good genetics.] When I was five I had other priorities.

[allaboutme]

Holy crap, you're old.

[catchacold]

And you're a charmer.

[Not that he's offended, he's older than he would have thought he'd get.]

[allaboutme]

I just value honesty.
