NO SHHH IT'S ALL OK

[supermarket]

( kieren doesn't know what he wants, either. it's hard, because after amy's death everything seemed like a kind of blur. the whole deal with the representative had gone over so quickly, because at that moment he would have said or done anything to get her back.

and he doesn't regret it, of course. but he wants to believe that maybe they can do something for all the pds sufferers back home. maybe there's something they can change so that people don't have to suffer the way they do now. he'd like to think that.

but maybe that's the soppy optimist in him talking. )

Depends on how many threats this sisterly chat is going to have.

( he rubs soothing circles in the small of her back, huffing a brief laugh. it's the walker way - substitute serious trauma for glibness and snark. )

Wouldn't want to scare him off.

IS IT THO

[she's quiet at first. sheepishly so; he's joking, but, well. she absolutely threatened Simon before. not jokingly. oops. ]

I already threatened him, don't worry. Unless he can't remember the last time here.

YES.....

[supermarket]

You what?

( jem......... )

[medals]

[w e a k l y:]

It was only a little one.

[supermarket]

Only a little...threat?

( oh my god. )

What did you say?

[medals]

[just. keeps her face in his chest tbh.]

Err.

[UHH]

If he ever thought about hurting you again, that no one would find his body. Harmless.

[supermarket]

( for a moment, he's not sure what to say. and then kieren laughs, because he doesn't know what else he ought to do, and because it's actually incredibly sweet.

kieren doesn't know that there is a point in his future where jem will look him in the eye and say that she chose him over gary. but what he does know is that this is what they do now, looking out for each other. it's something to be grateful for.

he'd probably threaten someone for jem, too. )

...Thanks for that.

[medals]

[she pulls away slowly to look at him, not sheepish or embarrassed, but utterly serious. ]

If he pulls anything like that again, I'm serious.

[there's no one in Eudio who would find his body. and then, she softens, cracking a weak smile. ]

If anyone pulls anything, I'll also beat them up. It'll cost you two packets of jammy dodgers.

[supermarket]

Thought we talked about your biscuit habit already.

( it's funny because they're supposedly wisecracking, but he knows she really means it.

which probably shouldn't be comforting.

but it is, kinda. )

[medals]

You talked about it; I gleefully ignored everything you said.

[because that is what sisters do, obviously. ]
