So I have a healthy appreciation for myself. Point is, yeah, I get it. Silence is the worst. So your mind started filling in the gaps for you or whatever. It's maybe not the sanest coping method, but it's something, I guess.
[ SOMETHING PRETTY NUTS. ]
... so, wait, how long did you, y'know, haul me around?
Jeez, that's— I mean, you totally made the right call, and you probably should've done it way sooner, 'cause, what, did you think I was coming back or something? But still, yeah, very much eeewww.
[ This is a terrible conversation. Just awful. Possibly the goddamn worst. And now he's rubbing his wrist, where there's still a scar from the cuff but at least not a scar from that, thank god. ]
[ Okay, you know what, he's getting off the couch to go rifle through the fridge, because this sucks. ]
You want something to eat? Drink? Not that talk of incredibly necessary but still super gross corpse-chopping gets the appetite going, exactly, but, uh. I need like an entire bowl of cereal marshmallows.
[ He deposits a bowl of rainbow marshmallows in Piper's lap (with a spoon, because he's a GENTLEMAN), and plops down on the couch next to him, setting his feet on the coffee table. ]
You can't be all maudlin while you're shoving marshmallows into your face, that's just laws of nature.
[ Or so he's hoping, anyway. For himself, mostly. ]

[Can't blame a guy for trying, right?]
Days. I mean, I was still handcuffed to you, remember?

[ And he's really getting the feeling that he doesn't want to know, but like a cat getting itself stuck up a tree, he keeps on asking. ]
So how'd you... you know.
no subject
[That just makes people want to know more, though.]

Alright, alright. "You" convinced me to...get rid of some of the dead weight. Or, most of it, really.
no subject
[ Yeah, okay, screw poker face. He grimaces, going a little pale and making a chopping motion with his right hand against the wrist of his left. ]
Eew.

[You're not helping James!!!]
no subject
[ IS HE EVER HELPING? ]
Jeez, that's— I mean, you totally made the right call, and you probably should've done it way sooner, 'cause, what, did you think I was coming back or something? But still, yeah, very much eeewww.

[Uggggh. This night sucks.]
You know what else? I talked to it. It didn't talk back, but I kept talking to the hand anyway.
no subject
Probably better company than I was, then.

[So is the regular version, but.]

[He feels kind of silly eating a bunch of marshmallows with a spoon, because he is ingrate.]
no subject
[ Embrace it, Piper. Embrace the silly. ]
no subject
[Well he's eating it, so it's apparently not too silly]
no subject
[ He leans, all heavy and obnoxious, against Piper's shoulder. Look, see, he missed being all touchy and annoying, okay? ]
You've seen how I treat the guys I don't give a damn about.
