[He had wanted to talk with Omega about Seven's "I think your best friend is romantically interested in you" nonsense. Instead...]

I have nightmares about my children dying.

[He pauses, eyes wide. Damn flood!]

[He quickly turns the feed off, before he starts talking about his daughter the last thing he needs is everyone knowing about that.]

I don't want you to go away! I want you to be with me. I always have. How should I be fine otherwise? I don't care what Braxiatel or anyone else says, but I would never want you to leave me.

Then what do you want? To believe you when say that but act differently? You say fine to shut me up, stop me from prying, so you don't have to know how you feel. Pretend it's not there, then it won't be.

[Now it's his turn to stare blankly. What. What. stop seeing through him, Omega! And don't criticize his awesome problem solving skills. Maybe it's time for d) freak out and start shouting? ...Wait, he's already done that.]

I... I don't want to talk about these things. They just make both of us upset and... I don't want that to happen, so... It has always worked until now.

Of course, it makes us upset! It's upsetting! But it's there lurking under the skin, whether or not we talk about it.

Why can't it stay there? Talking about it will not change what happened. So why do we have to? [Wait long enough and you'll get over it, that always works, right?]

I'm not going to let it win! I'm not going to be defined by it, I refuse!

What do you mean?

Why are we angry? Scared? I'm tired of it!

Then don't... be...? [Alright, that wasn't really helping.] Why are you angry? [Let's try Omega's method! As long as it wasn't about his own issues...]

I'm angry, because that's the emotion that helped me survive.

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

But you don't need that here. You say I'm safe, so the same goes for you.

That doesn't make it go away. I can't change so easily.

Then I shall help you, my friend.

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

All right.

Good! [He smiles. Then remembers that he doesn't know how to. Um...

Well, staring expectantly at Omega is surely a good way to start.]

[Omega let out a frustrated sigh.] It's nothing accomplished by will alone.

Spam

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

Then we will have to do something else. ...How is it accomplished?

Spam

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

By talking. By not hiding behind 'fine' or maybe it can't be accomplished at all! I don't know!

Spam

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

Then talk to me. We shall accomplish it somehow, I assure you.

I don't know what to say. [He moves away from the wall and heads back to a seat.]

[Rassilon follows him quickly, frowning.] Then talk when you know about what.

Spam

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

[Omega just nods. He looks at his friend and manages a smile.]

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

[Rassilon smiles back. No more arguing then?]

Spam

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

[Not at the moment anyway.]

[Well, seems like Omega has calmed down, so he goes back to leaning against his friend and closes his eyes.]
