Grumpy head of lettuce... BlackIce murmured, and snorted back a laugh.
Well, she's right about one thing, Frolic grinned, You're certainly a buzz-kill.
Caustic snorted, the corner of his lip twitching up in a ghost of a smile. This one had spirit.
Excuses, he said, condemning her as lazy with his tone alone. What have you done to catch up? What does size or age matter? Figure it out on your own or find the right questions to ask. Make it happen. You're using the same excuses as Sun-boy here, mister 'I've been abandoned.' Guess what, you little snack? I've been abandoned, too. Frolic's been alone and left behind. BlackIce became the guardian his sister needed, though he had none himself. You don't move passed it, you don't get stronger by making excuses. He stepped closer here, his voice dropping lower as he shifted his weight to press close enough for her and Sun to smell the aura of sulphur that clung to him. Your only reason for such failure is yourself. You fail to strut around and make the most of life.
But you seem to be handling it better, Frolic noted to Sun, offering a rather pleased grin. What changed?
Well, BlackIce cut in, for me at least it was a natural shift. I'm not used to simply drifting through existence. For years every single day was a struggle to survive and see my sister safely settled. Finding peace doesn't mean I get to stop actively living, you know?
I had things to let go of, Frolic shrugged. And things to learn about myself. Grumpy head of lettuce here helped out with that part; he'd make me so angry!
The pair looked at Caustic with that statement, as if expecting him to add something. He merely gave them a look and said I had no such weakness. Her anger was inconsequential.
BlackIce shrugged.
