With DramaticalBlue, Continued

powerofvoice: [He's quiet, but was that new? A lot of his answers took more thought. Maybe conversation in general did. By the time he had accepted Desire as part of himself, by the time he started to have conversations with him, it had been a while since what he'd said had mattered. It would be too easy to just lapse into silence.

He would have without Desire.]

They'll know you. They realize how different I was then, how different I am now. [He doesn't add that it was the 'back then' that had most likely drew their interest. That would sound like it was placing blame on a man that had no blame in this.]


dramaticalblue: Yeah. I know.

[ Desire sighs again. There'd definitely be no helping that. Their captors if anyone, would immediately know who he is. He wonders what their reaction will be. Will they be angry that they've lost their compliant Aoba, or will they be excited to break him all over again? Maybe the latter, seeing as it had been him who had caught their interest in the first place. Either way, none of the options are appealing in the least. ]

Maybe it'll caught 'em off-guard.

[ A look of concern comes over Desire's face hearing that. Aoba definitely has a point. What could be going on with Ren? Last time they'd seen him he'd been acting strange. Maybe they hadn't been able to fix the problem? Frowning slightly, Desire pulls Aoba into his arms and gives him a light squeeze. ]

Let's not worry 'til we know for sure, okay?

[powerofvoice]

[He was sure. Sure enough that he didn't ask because he couldn't break down on a plane. So, he buried his head, being cowardly enough to hide from the truth. That was best saved for home. He was wearing a collar and looked like he hadn't eaten for weeks, after all.

Aoba goes forward easily.]

If...you were them, what would you do with Ren?

[dramaticalblue]

[ Desire has the same concern, but he doesn't want to think that something could be seriously wrong with Ren. Or worse... what if Trip and Virus had taken him and he just hadn't found him?

He very gently runs his fingers through Aoba's hair, sighing softly. ]

You mean those two assholes? [ He shrugs. ] They kept all your other stuff in working order so if they had Ren... hopefully they'd not damage him or anythin'.

[ The more he thought about it, though, the less likely it seemed that they would have had Ren. If they did, surely they would've used him as a way to torture them since they knew very well how important Ren is to them. ]
