"You thought any of this was smooth?" Eowyn asked, raising an eyebrow. That was definitely surprising. "Do you want to start again? Keeping in mind that won't work at all and you're stuck now with all of this?"

"Perhaps" Qui-Gon mused, "but they're two sides of the same coin are they not? So they are always going to be equally strong" perhaps a good thing, perhaps not, he really wasn't sure. "Besides, we tend to see love as a good thing, yet people can do terrible things in the name of love".

"Wait is someone after my back?" Tara asked, knowing too well that it would hardly be the first time after all. Still she wasn't overly concerned about it. "But thank you. I'm not a good fighter... I'm scrappy, but that's about it".

"Who said I made any mistakes friend?" Hermes asked, recognising the man instantly. Or least the outer husk of a very broken man, but if you would piss off the God of the sea whilst you were on a ship, it wasn't that surprising. "Which one are calling a mistake though? I can give you options."

"Honestly, yes" Hermes replied, without really thinking about it. "Humans tend to do that, hold onto things and never let them go. When really, the other people have usually forgotten about it" he tended to, once things were out of sight, they were very much out of mind.

"Wait, I fell asleep?" Alejar said, rubbing the back of his neck. He hadn't meant to. Really he had meant to watch the movie. "Sorry, just had a bad nights sleep... and yeah, nightmares" as if that would explain any of it. "How much did I miss?"

"Ah see now there is a mistake, or an assumption, I never said that I thought that was a mistake" possibly questionable judgement, but it had been a fun enough night. "Although now I am intrigued about your so-called mistakes".

"No, that comes free with the medical advice" Belinda replied, wondering why accident rates seemed to always be going up around here recently. "Can you at least tell me what happened? Mostly to see if you need a doctor... or a lecture".

"Right" Morgan agreed, the whole story was ridiculous. "The guy then wondered why I wouldn't agree on going on a date with him after that whole mess. Honestly at this point I just want to go and live in the forest and... I don't know, talk to small animals" well really that was her mother's trick, but who'd believe her, so it could just sound like a joke.

At that Edward glanced up. He really needed to stop spending time off on the rooftop, it seemed to give far too much away. But the view up here was just so much better, and least gave him time to think. But hearing someone else up here was surprising. "That could be hypocritical lad, you're making an assumption on a random stranger on a roof, when you are a random stranger on a roof".

"In a world like this one, that is unfortunatly very true" and she hated thinking like that. Things were so much easier back home, you just had to avoid the God's wrath, and given how much was known about them, it was pretty easy to do so. "Wait, no I don't love him. We're just friends".

Oh he had no idea how true that was. Right now he had no idea who he was, he was completely lost. She couldn't say that though, not when he was standing in front of her, and seemed to be fine. "And right now? Do you feel lost?" she hoped that wasn't leading.

"Am I?" Rian asked, he wasn't really sure he believed that. Right now he just felt like a mess, and he didn't know what to do with it. "I don't feel like I am. I mean work is fine, but my personal life... I feel like it's just all falling apart right now" and he didn't know what to do with it.

"Oh is that so?" Qui-Gon asked, deciding he wasn't going to comment on what he may or may not know. "Mistakes are things that we can learn from though" least that was what he had always done, with mostly positive results. "It has been a long time".

Well that was an irritating statement. Why he'd say something like that she didn't know, she had worked so hard on hiding things. "I'm sure everyone hates something" she mused, deciding that was better than pretending to be quite that sweet. "But I would not say that I was burning with it".

"Huh?" Barry asked, suddenly caught off-guard by that, before glancing at his watch. "Oh I'm fine, just need to eat something, I skipped breakfast" not actually true, but easier to say that then the fact that he needed such a ridiculous amount of calories. "I mean, if you want to join me for food, I'm always down for company".
