Heyyyyyyyy, kiddo, you've reached me. Me who is Rhys. Anyway, not sure why you're trying to get in contact with the king of the dweebs, but I'm sure you've got your reasons. Reasons you should probably re-examine. I'm just sayin'.

Last chance to back out.

No?

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

[It was different, with Enoch, but not in a good way, Beckett thinks. Brainwashing passes. The Beast is around to stay. He is absolutely not spoiling Rhys's optimism with that tidbit, though.]

More than I'm sure you think. [He's not here to sugarcoat, though, either. He tips his sunglasses down a little, showing a flash of the dull red of his eyes.] It's how I got this. A Clan weakness. But... most, if not all companions I used to travel with were considerably more dangerous than even me.

I don't want you to make me feel okay. [He wants this not to have happened, which is bizarre because it actually didn't. He thinks. He's taking Rhys's word for it. It is a greater display of trust than he can quite explain.]

How do you know it feels wrong? What - what's the difference?
Perhaps I can see... [Of course he still wants the evidence of his own mind. He always, always does. But he is more than willing to let Rhys guide him.]

[Beckett tries and succeeds in not making a face at 'just know'. It's not his favourite expression, but he's heard it plenty of times, and had cause to accept it often enough. Sometimes instinct just can't come out any other way.]

I am with you on that. Sometimes surely you have to simply go ahead and forge on. Though it's by thinking about the what-ifs that you prepare for them, as much as you can...

[He sees the stiffening in Rhys's pose, and holds it there.]

I hadn't realized you were still so worried about that - about "going bugnuts" again.

[It is pretty depressing, but it's also something familiar, something he can understand and work through. It's certainly easier than the thought of talking to Angel about this.

So, let's just, conveniently not hear that part for now.]


It is what it is. You learn both sides of it in time. Control... and to move on from losing control. Self-loathing gets awfully dull after a while. And you learn that you aren't the worst thing about the world.

[Not his world, at least. Not by a long shot. And this is Norfinbury. Both of them are going to have to work pretty hard to be the worst thing about it.]

[See, Rhys is the hardest. Because as far as Beckett remembers, Rhys just died himself. And Beckett is still very much in the mindset that birthed the Decisions made in the wake of that death.

This is the worst death price ever.]


I... probably owe you an apology. One way or another.

[... ouch.]

I'm not sure, you see. The last I remember you were freshly dead. I don't know exactly how much of an ass I've managed to be in the interim.

[It's a pretty safe bet he's managed some assitude, though.]

Ah, she did mention... [He struggles to reconstruct what his motivation might have been. Lacking the insights gained over those two weeks, though, he mostly comes up with a not unexpected contrariness to this whole awkward business.]

I'm sure there was a reason I'll eventually remember. I must have been doing - something.

I was avoiding everyone. [See: being an ass. That is not a good answer, Beckett. He deserve the way he flinches at hearing Rhys's voice.]

Likewise, though I'm sure neither of us could have avoided it. That's rather the point. That it can't be avoided.

That's not it, Rhys. [The words are snapped, but without heat. He knows he doesn't deserve to get angry.]

It's that I have to do something, do you understand? Something productive. Without limits. Without having anything else in front of me that I care about.

Yes... you will.

[Angel can eviscerate him, as she has aptly demonstrated. Enoch he's terrified of for his own reasons. And so it is Rhys who gets the shitty plain tale of it all.]

Not you personally, but all of you. I've fought for you before and I will again. I think about your safety whether you want me to or not. You are as important to me as any of my companions have ever been, and that's limiting.

Bloody hell, Rhys - the point is to have more time. That is what we need to think about. What I need to think about. Whatever it has to mean I am not thinking about!

If you did, that's okay! Accidents happen and I expect you've beaten yourself up enough over it

Uh not that you SHOULD be beating yourself up over it? "Enough" would be like. Zero amount.
