Has something truly horrible ever happened to the people you grew up with?

. . .Wow. Coming out swinging there, Tex.

I'm sorry. I don't like it, but it's the core of what I have to ask about.

Uh huh. This one's not me.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Ah, and I'm glad.

...Yeah.

All of them? I mean people not as family but as... well.. people.

Oh, if it's like that... No. That's definitely not me.

Thanks. And, er, I'm glad.

[quiet for a bit, hesitating...but...]

My sister was injured and her vision was impaired because of it.

[shrugs]

She got a monocle eyepatch and rocks it.

Ah... thank you. That helps.

Father was killed in action during World War I. And my mother died of tuberculosis when I was young.

[hesitates]

Did you mean friends too?

I mean your "people". As in... ah... the larger group.

[silent for a long moment]

I got my best friend killed during a mission.

I... I'm sorry.

I don't think that's the sort of thing that applies here. But I'm really sorry.

...

[How weird do you think it is that I'm offering you a hug here]

. . .

What d'you mean by truly horrible?

Edited 2012-06-17 00:02 (UTC)

Um, that's sort of a give-away. But I mean, by "people" I mean... all of them. One's people.

All of 'em?

[. . . shakes his head]

Not all of them, no.
