"Oh hello!" Lane said with a giggle. "I didn't notice you were back!" He swung his legs off the table and stretched them so they touched his back. He looked like a twig, but he was quite stretchy.

(I just realized I’m being really controlling and I apolgize o3o

i’ll just)

(What no not at all, you’re good. Seriously I appreciate your ideas and stuff and I haven’t felt like you’re being controlling at all)

Luca grumbled something unintelligible as she unfolded herself.
"I've been sitting here for hours, Lane." she said stepping up to poke him lighting on the nose. "Observation skills are at zero today, mate."

Casey left them to it and walked to the window, hoisting herself up. She started to climb and was surprised to find Cameron only on the AC unit. “Hello,” she said in a soft voice. “May I sit?”

(Really? Thank you Moxie. ☺️

I just feel like I get really controlling whenever I have a little side story going on.)

"Hey! I was watching my show, not my fault that you're a kitty." He said, his voice it's usual chirpy tone.

Casey left them to it and walked to the window, hoisting herself up. She started to climb and was surprised to find Cameron only on the AC unit. “Hello,” she said in a soft voice. “May I sit?”

Cameron started when she spoke. Even her quiet voice startled the person who barely ever got frightened.
“Hm? Oh, yeah. You can sit.” His voice was quiet and muffled.

(Yeah nah you’re good)

Casey left them to it and walked to the window, hoisting herself up. She started to climb and was surprised to find Cameron only on the AC unit. “Hello,” she said in a soft voice. “May I sit?”

Cameron started when she spoke. Even her quiet voice startled the person who barely ever got frightened.
“Hm? Oh, yeah. You can sit.” His voice was quiet and muffled.

Casey sat with one leg folded and parallel against the AC unit, the other bent with her knee in the air. “How long have you been out here?” she asked, looking over the buildings and the outside.

Cameron kept his face hidden in his arms and hands. “I don’t know,” He answered slowly, inhaling to control himself. Casey probably knew that he was crying. She probably figured out how weak he is.

A twinge of something nasty flared under Luca's breastbone and flashed in her eyes as she watched Casey disappear up onto the roof from the corner of her eye. She knew Cam would trust her enough to talk about his issue. She just didn't understand why she felt hurt about it. They all trusted Casey with their stories.
She stuck her tongue out at Lane saying, "I'll be in my room." as she passed by him.

Cameron kept his face hidden in his arms and hands. “I don’t know,” He answered slowly, inhaling to control himself. Casey probably knew that he was crying. She probably figured out how weak he is.

“What is it, Cam?” Casey asked. Her voice was much softer than it usually was. It almost sounded like she was a twenty three year old girl. She turned to face Cam, which she knew he didn’t want but she did it nonetheless, making sure to soften her gaze.

Cameron swallowed against the lump in his throat and shook his head. “Nothing. Nothing is wrong.” His voice shivered and broke at the last word. He cursed at himself angrily, biting his tongue.

Hurt for Cam flashed though Casey’s chest but she kept the pity off her face, knowing he would t appreciate it. “What is it Cam?” she asked again, her voice slightly more persistent.

Cameron inhaled deeply. Stop being such a goddamn wuss! You don’t need anyone to help you. He rubbed his face, trying to get the tears from his eyes. It didn’t work well.
He shook his head in response to her question. “I’ll… I’ll be fine.”

Casey sighed. She wanted to say that wasn’t what she asked, but being harsh wouldn’t work here. “Cam, life, especially this life, is full of hardships. And the way you’re supposed to go about dealing with it is either bottling it up, or hitting an actual bottle. That’s the way this is supposed to work. But this life is also full of choices. We have the choice to not live that way, to trust those nearest to us. To trust them to be strong enough to carry our burdens, so we may carry theirs in turn. If we do not trust our friends to carry our burdens, we are not doing well and in this life that can get you killed, one way or another.”

Cameron made a faint noise at “killed” and shut his eyes tightly. He didn’t want to hear the verb, even if it was just an example. It brought about the memories of his lost friend and last night all over again… He found himself lost in his thoughts for so long, he didn’t respond to her.

Casey sat with him, watching the night, letting Cam lose himself to his thoughts. “Cameron, what happened?” she whispered after a while.

Cameron shook his head and whispered through his fingers and tears, “He’s gone. Dead. Forever.”

Casey tentatively put her hand on Cam’s arm. She wasn’t one for much physical touch and she was fairly sure Cam wasn’t either but the moment called for it. “Who, Cam?” she whispered.

Cameron squeezed his hands into fists and inhaled shakily, exhaling in a pathetic sob. Part of him bashed him for it, another felt dead and soulless. It didn’t care about his shaking body or her hand on his arm or the ruffling wind of the restarted AC unit.

Can I join?? I can be like a weapons maker and make like tiny cameras, spy weapons, etc??))

(hello Moxie is back. Do you mean as an extra character or part of the group? edit: oh yeah we kinda have a weapons maker already)

She moved her hand to his back. “Hey,” she said quietly. “It’s alright,” she said, meaning his tears.
