(sorry fam my mental health decided to n o p e itself but i'll try to reply at least daily again)
Logan scratched his neck. "Well you're right about that at least. I can barely make sense of it at all." He smiled as if to ward off the anxiety it was causing him.
(It's okay, I was more worried about it dying entirely,)
Skye nodded, "Need someone to rant to?" he asked.
Logan glanced at Skye. "Well… maybe." He thought for a second. On the one hand, he didn't want to burden anyone, but then again, the chance of them meeting again was pretty slim. But they'd stay in touch, if Logan could help it. "It's really confusing to me."
Skye shrugged, "I'm all ears, and hey, maybe I could help" he said.
Logan shrugged. "Okay, well I signed a label and now I'm on tour and everything. But it's a little too much to demand and I can't find a way to escape this. It's not looking good for me." He explained.
"Not looking good for you how?" Asked Skye, a little curious.
Logan rubbed his neck, anxiously. Thinking about it made him nervous because he really wasn't sure what was going to happen. "Well it's just really really demanding. I honestly don't know what to do about it. Besides run. But something tells me that's not gonna end well…" he flashed a quick smile, so as not to think about it in too much of a bad way.
"Since when does running ever end well…" said Skye, finishing his hot chocolate. "Though I understand stressed out…"
He nodded. "Indeed." He got up to take the empty mug to the kitchen sink so he could clean it later. When he grabbed the mug from Skye's hands, their fingers touched for just a moment and Logan felt electric in those few seconds. Whoa…
Skye felt it too, blinking in surprise for just a moment. Shaking it off as static shock he smiled up at the other. "So… what do you do when you're not dealing with fans?" he asked, curious.
"Besides practicing, I'm assuming. Well, I read. And I used to play violin. Though, I haven't had as much time for that." Logan explained. He glanced at the violin case across the room.
Skye noted it, "Which books?" he asked.
"Fantasy. I absolutely love fantasy. Like… there's something fascinating about people who are able to create completely new worlds in text. It's like… I don't know… awespiring I guess." His mind thought of the book he had read when he was so much younger, a book about a boy being introduced to an entirely new world and his shook forever, and he liked to think he was that boy when he opened up a new book.
Skye smiled, "Yeah… but sometims you have to feel sorry for the people in those books, I mean… their lives must be so much harder sometimes…" If only you knew…
Logan shrugged. "Well, yeah. With great power comes great responsibility." he said in a joking manner. "And with great responsibility comes greater problems!" he added. "I mean, that's kinda how it works in those books. There has to be some problem for them."
"This is true." said Skye, "And oftentimes with great power comes great danger too.."
Logan nodded. "I can only imagine." A thought crossed his mind, but it was insane. Skye seemed to know what it was like, almost personally. But… that was impossible. It couldn't possibly be true, now could it?
You have no idea…. he thought again, No idea at all… Skye sighed, "Yeah…."
Logan looked at Skye. "I've always kinda wondered what it would be like if everyone had powers. I mean- there are rumors that there are already a lot of people who have some weird magical ability, but I've never actually met anyone like that…" He shrugged nonchalantly.
"Well, I don't know if those rumors are true, but if everyone had powers maybe those people wouldn't be forced to hide in plain sight." He said.
Logan thought on that for a second. "I guess so. I just think it's be super cool to have powers, you know? They could come in handy sometimes."
"Yeah, but what happens when people get jealous of those powers? And then they try to hurt you because you have them?" he asked, Which is why I'm an orphan on the streets…
"I dunno." He shrugged. "Maybe there would be rules? If people did actually have powers. Like so they don't abuse those powers and hurt people. Although I'm not sure how anyone could enforce those rules. Especially if the people are really strong." It was fun to think about. A little mind exercise…
Skye sighed, he knew that most magic users lived by a code of conduct, and even the evil ones will stay hidden. "True, but I'd imagine they'd stay hidden"
"Yeah, I guess. It'd be pretty complicated for sure." Logan kept thinking about the idea and if there really was magic in his world. There were always rumors, but as far as he knew, magic didn't really exist. It was always a whisper in the winds and something he never thought was actually possible. But maybe…
