LOG: What You Get Folks

[protective_logic]

Who: Delta Ai (Native), Maine (Native), Omega Ai (Native)
What: Family bonding... with a middle man.
Where: Movie Theater at the Gulch Mall.
When: Saturday 8/23, Noon
Warnings: Delta and Omega don't get along.

It is easier, of course, to do this apart. But the problem is that things aren't that easy anymore. They are having a problem with a lot of this. Having problems with a lot of things lately. But Maine was helping, and Delta is furious that Omega even brought the man into it. This was his boyfriend, and Omega's friend. They didn't need him in the middle of their squabble. And Delta definitely didn't need him to be here. But here, in the end, is where they are.

Delta waits outside of the theater, trying to ignore how uncomfortable he is in the open, waiting. Waiting for Omega. Waiting for his meddling boyfriend. Waiting for... well, something. Anything that proves he's getting better. That it's getting better. That he's not completely ruined.

"I think he's still mad. I don't know anymore." Omega looks at Maine's shoes. "I just want him to tell me what he wants from me."

Maine puts a hand on his shoulder. "I do, too," he says. "But he won't. What can we do except give him space?"

Omega looks up at Maine. Not many people he can do that to. "Back him in a corner, trap him like a rat, and scream at him until he's too upset to lie," Omega says. "But that comes with its own set of problems."

"Don't," Maine says. "He needs time. Someone who can listen unconditionally. Don't know how to give him that. He's so afraid to trust."

"Of course he is. They're mandtory reporters," Omega says. "They think the littles are in danger, they have to call the authorities."

He shakes his head. "That's entirely independent of the issues Price left us with. He wanted so badly to keep us from telling anyone what he was doing."

One is a reasonable concern. One is not. Omega doesn't care about the difference, except for explaining to Maine.

"Don't know what to do," he says. "Needs a friend. Someone who will listen. But there's so much he won't tell me." How could they hope to find someone for him?

[baruthumos]

Omega shakes his head. "You and me both. We should go find him."

Before Delta thinks they ran away to the Vegas quadrant and got hitched.

"Let's," he says. Hopefully Delta doesn't ask what took so long.
