You know, sometimes I think it'd be so much easier if I wasn't a city girl so I could just like go camping or something when everything goes to hell in a handbasket.

But then I remember I've watched too many horror movies and too many crime shows to ever want to be in the woods by myself without like... a tank backing me up. And tanks are probably really expensive, so I guess I'm just gonna have to get a dog bowl and write "KILLER" on it. Or a sign that says like "beware of spiders and human matchsticks". Dunno if that's more or less threatening than "beware of dog" though.

Hey, Dr. McCoy? Can I ask you a question and maybe a favor?

I bet I know it.

[candidly]

So why are you so prickly about people being worried about you?

[deadthenred]

People see you as a charity case, they don't see you as much else. I never wanted to be that orphan kid.

[candidly]

You really think I'm gonna see you as an orphan kid charity case?

[deadthenred]

Wasn't what I said.

You do one thing a while, it's hard to stop doing it.

[candidly]

Yeah... Yeah, it is. But it's not impossible. At least, I hope it's not.

[deadthenred]

Sure. People wake up with their lives completely switched all the time. It's not something that just happens here.

[candidly]

That's not exactly what I meant.

[deadthenred]

Nah, but I think it's proof that things can change.

[candidly]

I hope you're right.
