° ◌ ﹕ WILL :
THE MAN BEFUDDLES HER, ENCASED IN HIS OWN THOUGHTS. His own problems. Will, to her dismay, has yet to puzzle the blonde out. And yet, they’d somehow become…companions. Not a word the woman used lightly but there was no denying the truth of their situation. A situation that Will is still unsure of. Still, nothing bad, per say, has happened, but the sniper is used to the other shoe dropping, quickly. Situations can change at any moment.
“I bet you clean up real nice too, when you shave,” she gives the man a pointed look, sly smile curling at her lips before she goes back to her drink. While initial statement had been true, Will finds that she has no desire to dwell on the melancholy. Instead, she wants to live, interact with other humans, face to face, instead of just via a computer screen. She knows that it will undoubtedly bit her in the ass but at least she’s trying.
Polishing off her beer, Will asks for another before she fixes intense stare on the blonde. “So, what is it this time? What has you looking like you rolled out of a ditch?”
these days , he’s comfortable in the silence . in the knowing he won’t have to speak in exchange to words when his jaw feels like it’s working on loose screws and bolts . he keeps his mouth shut and at best simpers . but his lips are sealed tight and shut by the cement of his own calamities and he seems cynical , like he believes she couldn’t even mean what she says . then again , to think he considers the sincerity in question isn’t fruitful , considering words of this small scale tend to ring indistinctly like background noise . and any particular notions found between the lines — they simply fly right over his head .
he’s numb . but underneath the surface , he appreciates her . the lulls of quiet she grants him , whether she may mean to or not . the way he sees it : she’s in her own little world , separate from his . and it won’t be long before she tries poking her head into his again . it’s obvious she’s curious . but at least she gives him enough room to breathe .
❛ uh , maybe ‘ cause i just got done rollin’ out of a ditch . ❜ he looks at her again , half - lidded , unwavering , hoping she’d take a half - truth , despite how smart she is . it sounds like he could be pretending when he says , ❛ happens all the time . ❜ but again , it’s a half - truth .

❝ c’mon , now. we both know that’s a lie , you wanna kill me , and i can’t just let you go , llewyn. you know how it is , you may want normalcy now — whatever that is — , but … this is normalcy for the likes of you and me. and you damn well know it. ❞
an open range in broadened eyes . for a second , they fall deterred , a hiccup of uncertainty darting , wandering , wondering aimlessly . ❛ bullshit ... you’re just tryin’ to protect yourself . you’re just tryin’ to excuse the things that you do . ❜

❝ sorry for breaking your heart, kid. but i never said i was better than nobody. i might be a monster , at least i ain’t no fuckin’ coward. ❞
❛ cowards are smarter , wouldn’t you think ? you live your life in misery like this , and then you die . i just woke up and wanted something for myself . some normalcy ... and if you just let me be , we can salvage some here , and — i won’t have to kill you . ❜
