By the lake, after plot.

Atton is outside, barefoot and shirtless, practicing with his lightsaber.

He's not so good with this 'rest' malarkey.

"Ye are, loads better than they are."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Dryly: "... I forgot that you're like a fountain of naive and unfounded faith in people, Will."

[will_scarlett]

"Ye're me friend."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I know. But, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, you're kinda an idiot when it comes to people. You expect the best from people. But, I'm pretty sure that if at the end of five days, they were chained up and I was let down, I would've taken a long, long time getting revenge on them. And that's not even covering all the other bad things I've done."

[will_scarlett]

"Do want revenge on 'em but ye're na the same as 'em."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No. I know they're way worse than me."

Somehow, he manages to convey through silence that he doesn't think they're that much worse.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, they are, Atton."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Irritably: "Are you just going to keep disagreeing with me? Look at it rationally. I'm good to you because you're my friend. Doesn't mean I haven't done things just as bad as they have. Or worse. Maybe worse."

[will_scarlett]

"'rhaps but that's na goin' to make me stop bein' yer friend."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I know. Believe me, I don't think you're going to stop being my friend."

[will_scarlett]

"Good an think ye're na the same as ye used to be either."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"T'be honest, I don't even know who I am anymore. I've been so many different people it's difficult t'figure out exactly which one I am now."

[will_scarlett]

"Ye'll figure it out, know ye're someone good though."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Naive optimism suits you."

[will_scarlett]

Will gives a small laugh and hugs Atton,

"Whate'er ye say."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I admit, makes me want t'punch you a bit. Shame I'm too tired t'fight, at the moment."

[will_scarlett]

"Tis why ye should be restin', can spar when ye're doin' better."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I don't need t'rest. Resting is boring."

[will_scarlett]

"But it makes ye feel better."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"In an extremely boring way."

Beat.

"I'll head up to my room and rest if you come up with a holo for us t'watch."

[will_scarlett]

"Can do that, can bring pizza too, that makes stuff better."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"S'very healthy. See you in ten minutes, then."

Atton heads inside, making his way up to his room.

[will_scarlett]

Will stops by the Bar to get pizza and a few different action holos, one involves Space Pirates before heading up,

"I come bearin' pizza."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton flicks the door open telekinetically. It's a silly, trivial use of his powers, but after so long without them, it's comforting.

He's found loose, comfortable clothes, and is sat on the bed. "Come in."

[will_scarlett]

The pizza is placed on the bed as Will gets comfortable and shows Atton the various holos,

"Wasna sure which one so got a few."
