"So," Aaron begins, testing the point of the syringe, "I hear you dumped my sister. I'm told you made her cry all night."

The man wrinkles his nose, lays his arm out. "You're not going to make this hard, are you? She was weird, it happens."

He shrugs, taps the syringe, clears it of air bubbles. "No, of course not. I just wanted to clarify."
Against the vein and in goes the heroin, with a little addition of his own.

"This is the good stuff, right?"

"Oh, yes," Aaron says, "very good," and waits for the poison to take effect.

Well you don't talk bad about someone's sister and then expect to get away with it. XD

[bookblather]

I know, right? Thanks.

[finch]

Really, the guy should have known better than to stick around after that question. XD Nice job.

[bookblather]

I know! Why would you stick around? Why not flee immediately?

Thanks.

Saw THAT coming. Brr, sociopath!Aaron. Good job.

(Maria's all impressed. "You got him to cooperate in his own murder. This is why I like you.")

[bookblather]

Aaron's all smug now. "Yes, well, it comes with being good at this."

Seriously, don't insult a sociopath's sister to his face.

Thanks!

I'm torn between "aww" and "yikes!" Though I'm with Jack: if the victim stuck around after a question not so much pointed as serrated, it's Darwin in action. At least Aaron can form enough attachments to people to feel protective?

[bookblather]

It's not an attachment exactly? Or it is, he's quite fond of his sisters, it just isn't love or affection as we know it. He protects them because he respects his father and his father says that's what you do. You know? Anyway. Thank you!

[shipwreck_light]

He tapped the bubbles out.

To use the poison instead.

/DUDE./

[bookblather]

I KNOW. He's professional about this okay.

I love the calm, detached nature of this work. As an aside, I really love it when people can actually do a good punch in 100 words. It's hard to write short fic and I find drabbles to be a huge challenge. So nice work!

[bookblather]

Thank you very much! I'm pretty laconic by nature, it must be the thing. Anyway. Thanks!
