I miss them.

[ Books weren't the only thing he was missing. But they're easier to talk about. ]

[realists]

My mother used to transcribe my father's notes and when she was done she would put all the papers in a stack. I used to read them like it was a picture book.

[kleptocratic]

I am never sure if my father can write or not.

Were they good pictures?

[realists]

It was all maths, formulas. I liked them.

[ scribbling the formulas around the edge of her own drawings like a frame ]

[kleptocratic]

I used to live in a library.

[realists]

I've heard people generally live in houses

[ pls elaborate ]

[kleptocratic]

When I was thirteen they decided I was causing too much trouble in the boys dormatories.

So they moved me into the one room no one at court ever really used.

[realists]

Books became your roommates

Sounds lonely

[kleptocratic]

No, prison is lonely.

The books were better company than my contemporaries.

[realists]

I wish prison had been lonely.

I had stuffed animals, if you'd like one.

[kleptocratic]

In prison?

[realists]

I don't think Longee would have survived prison

[kleptocratic]

They said that about me, too.

[realists]

And here we are.

You aren't really missing books are you?

[kleptocratic]

No. She left.

[realists]

[ that's rough, buddy.

jyn is ill-equipped to deal with loss, not only because she steadfastly refuses to deal with her own, but because she hasn't been close enough to anyone to deal with someone else's loss. ]

Do you want to talk?

[ pls no ]

[kleptocratic]

Not particularly.

[ He does want to be distracted. ]

[realists]

[ THANK THE FORCE ]

Do you want to drink and break things?

[kleptocratic]

Oh, I'm very good at that.

[realists]

I found a place called a rage room, all sorts of shit to break. They supply a bat.

[kleptocratic]

Every day, this place provides a new wonder.

[realists]

In an effort to evade marital spats I've been avoiding the fighting rings. This is the next best thing to making someone else bleed.

[kleptocratic]

Well, you know me. I'm quite softhearted. I prefer to hurt people when I'm sober.

[realists]

We're not hurting people, we're hurting stuff. Drunk.

[kleptocratic]

I think I want to be very drunk.
