So in case anyone wondered where I went... back in January I tried to off myself. When I got out of the hospital I'd meant to do my replies but I wound up needing to take care of myself. Now I'm healthy abd stable, but I can't bring myself back to Richard. I remade an old blog for my OC Jame Morrison, if you want to follow me there it's noinnatemorality.

//I wound up in the hospital for a bit, just got out yesterday. I'll try to reply to everything in the next couple of days.

Richard grinned. "Really?" he asked.

"But you’re always so busy!” Richard protested. “Will you have any time to come visit me?”

[thebabblingrichardbrook]

"We do a bit! ...and it was still rude." Richard didn't stop pouting.

"They crumpled my pants up into a ball, that's rude! They folded yours!"

thebabblingrichardbrook“Well, Richie, what do you want me to do about it?” Jim was known for his intimidation, so it didn’t shock him that they would treat his clothes better.

"But you're always so busy!" Richard protested. "Will you have any time to come visit me?"

"Will you miss me terrible if I move four hours away?" Richard asked.

[thebabblingrichardbrook]

Richard pouted. "I dunno..." he muttered. "But you can do something, can't you? You're... you! Shouldn't they be polite to me, too, as your brother?"

"They crumpled my pants up into a ball, that's rude! They folded yours!"

"Will you miss me terrible if I move four hours away?" Richard asked.

"Even better." This was just getting more interesting.

//that might take a while. I'm kinda paranoid about ruining it. :P I will if I finish it while still running this blog, though!

Richard shrugged. "I'm meant to meet him for dinner in an hour. We don't get to eat together often, but I have an award ceremony this weekend for my theater and even though he can't come he made time for dinner." The smile that had grown by the end of his words dropped as suddenly. "He's going to be upset with me and it'll ruin dinner," he muttered.

"Well…" Richard paused, then nodded. "Okay. Thank you," he smiled gratefully. "It’ll be nice to not go through it alone."

"Well..." Richard paused, then nodded. "Okay. Thank you," he smiled gratefully. "It'll be nice to not go through it alone."

Richard shook his head. “But why would you? This is the first time I’ve met you, you owe me nothing.” He fidgeted with a loose string on his sleeve.

Richie nearly fell over herself when she scrambled out of her room, hair mussed and eyes wide. She'd been asleep—having had a long day at the studio, she'd taken a nap, regardless of it not being night time—and she clutched her stuffed rabbit to her chest, which was clothed in a loose blue nightgown. "Yeah, Jim?" she mumbled.

"Rich!" Jim yelled through the flat, looking for her sister. She had news, and it couldn’t fucking wait dammit. "Richie!! Get your bloody arse down here!”

[thebabblingrichardbrook]

Richard shook his head. "But why would you? This is the first time I've met you, you owe me nothing." He fidgeted with a loose string on his sleeve.

"Why would you offer to do that?" Richard asked, confusion evident in his voice. "Then you’ll be here and he’ll probably wind up taking his anger out on you even more than he does on me, regardless of that I was the one who told you…"

[thebabblingrichardbrook]

"I wouldn't make your brother involved in this," Richard shook his head. "But Jimmy might if your brother heard about it and got upset." He fiddled with a loose string on his jumper.

"Umm. I don't. I don't know. It depends on how Jim reacts and how much he thinks you're worth both now and how much you could be worth in the future..."

Zach paled when his brother was brought up. If something bad were to happen he’d do anything to prevent it from reaching Paul. Getting hurt sounded fair if his brother got spared.

The boy nodded and listened intently, though he found the lip-biting habit quite distracting. “Tell me more ‘bout them? I don’t want my brother involved in this. Please.”

[thebabblingrichardbrook]

Richard thought for a moment, then shook his head. "It's not okay." He paused again. "You have a brother who works for my brother, right? Jimmy weighs everything out. If he killed you, he might lose two workers if your brother gets upset about it, and he'd probably not find that worth it, especially cause you're probably a good worker. And torturing you might bring about the same result. Maybe he'll just..." Richard chewed on his lip again, apparently a nervous habit. "There are other options. Not all of them turn out badly..."

Richard picked up his briefcase—Jimmy said it looked better than a backpack, but Richard wasn't really a fan of it—and pulled out a stuffed rabbit. "Jimmy doesn't have a Bunny," he explained with a grin, cuddling the ragged plushie to his chest.
