“Broken? His foot can’t even be that badly hurt. I’m not physically capable of injuring another person. Not without some kind of blunt object.”

“How do you know that for sure? Everyone is different, alternates or not. It could have broken and he never noticed.

I need to make sure he’s alright now. If you’re gone by the time I get back, I won’t press charges so long as you never harm Kin again.”

And she turned on her heel and went back inside her home, Triton spitting a bit of Ice Beam in front of Ray’s feet before following behind her. It wasn’t enough to freeze his feet, just enough to freeze the ground.

“…Reasons why I prefer the city. The roads are always kept smooth. This is pretty and all, but to live at a location with dirt roads.” Shudders.

“I have no reason to run, although if I chose to leave on my own accord I’m sure you’d call it running, even though I have other places to be, and other people to mess with. Don’t equate one action to treating someone like garbage. It doesn’t work that way. I thought you had grown past making snap judgements.”

“I live on a cliff. I can’t exactly have people come in and pave the road. Walking down a forest path is relaxing for me.”

“There are trash cans where if you push the bottom pedal with your foot, the top opens up. I was speaking literally.

If you run but never both Kin again, I would have no problem with that. I have to make sure his foot isn’t broken, after all.”

“You must have a poor police station. If they were anything like the officers I grew up having to deal with, they’d have been here within minutes.”

“Considering the only road to here is bumpy and made of dirt, I would say they’re being cautious so they don’t drive into a tree by accident. Many of the officers on duty in this town are veterans only so they more than know your type. They won’t have their sirens on because they know better. The guilty run when they hear sirens.

Treating Kin like a trash can will get you several years in prison, I’d estimate.”

“I’m not sure how a recording will do anything for someone who is deaf. You can’t prove what he mouthed with a listening device. You’re wasting your time. You’re not going to scare me. I’ll even wait here for these feds of yours.”

“I can do an amazing thing called ‘asking him what happened’. And I know he will be truthful. Because the security cameras caught everything and was already being transferred to the police station when I first spoke.”

agiftedglider:

“Still circumstantial. It wouldn’t hold up in court. It couldn’t even be grounds for arrest without at least three witnesses. Don’t you know anything about the legal system?”

“My headphones have a wireless listening device that will instantly transmit to the police any sound files that have been recorded if the power is cut off in any way, including destroying and cutting the internal power. Taking them off with result in the same thing.

I doubt you know the legal system in this world at all, which by the way you would be facing due to assault on a legal citizen here. The third witness has been flying above us the entire time, by the way.”

agiftedglider:

“Assuming you can prove I’ve taken advantage of anyone, which you can’t. Who do you think the feds will believe. The big, strong human, or the innocent little squirrel? Don’t mess with me kid, I’ve been doing this for years. I’ve gotten out of more crimes than a fox stalking a hen house.”

“Well I don’t know. Perhaps they would believe the deaf champion of the region defending her deaf friend from harassment and assault. After all, there’s been a long string of crimes these past ten years about people mistaking the inability to respond as a ‘yes’.”

agiftedglider:

“Try to do anything to me and I’ll summon a god to bring a great flood to your entire planet.”

“Easily solved by not harming my friend. He already told you to leave. Do so before I call the police for assault and harassment. Taking advantage of the deaf is a severe crime in this world.”

agiftedglider:

“Somehow I am not surprised. Silver alternates in particular tend to be kind, and forgiving.”

“I honestly wasn’t expecting him to forgive me. Or even hear me out, for that matter. He’s the only Silver I know, actually. I’m not able to multiverse travel because of my orchard.”
