Joint post | Balfour showing off Amery



[It sure didn’t take long after Amery’s first post for the feed to come on again, this time showing a beaming face. Well, actually two faces, but Balfour was beaming, his arms wrapped around Amery’s shoulders from behind as he showed him the broadcasting device. He held it in one hand and grinned out to the public.]

Hey everyone! I know I’ve mentioned him before, but this is my brother, Amery! Say hi!

[He nudges Amery, intent on his brother making a good impression among his new friends.]

Hello.

[Amery doesn’t look nearly as happy about this as his brother does, but he’s dealing with it. If only because it’s Balfour.]

It seems my brother has been sharing stories about me in my absence.

Of course I have! You’re my brother!

[So obviously, Balfour would be telling tales. He adored and looked up to Amery, after all.]

Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know who he was. Please treat him kindly!

[And that goes for you too, Amery.]

Balfour, though I appreciate the gesture, I do believe I’ll be capable of dealing with people whether or not they decide to treat me kindly.

[Balfour sighs, looking at the man he’s draped over for a moment.]

Amery--

[But whatever else he was going to say is lost. He kills the feed just as he begins that sentence. Privacy was a valued thing for Amery, after all. Balfour knew this.]

[Oh, Balfour.]

Right, right. The guy you adore. I remember what you told me. And it's fine, I get it.

[He shrugs.]

It's just, you know. Good that I saw him here with you first and not out on the street.

[He will have pouty-face all he wants. Actually, no, it won't last for too long.]

Because he looks just like fucking Chase. [He's not upset about Amery, or at Balfour, no, it was directed at Chase. Just the mention of him.]

He's a guy I didn't tell you about before. The fifth warlock in our little club.

He tried to kill us.

[Reid is, in general, hotheaded, and it doesn't take much more than a familiar face and the mere mention of Chase to get his blood boiling again.]

You know when I told you Pogue was in the hospital back home? Chase fucking put him there. As a message. He almost killed Caleb. He wanted our Power.

I know he's not. I never said that he was, I just-

[He gave a frustrated sigh, looking away for a moment. Yes, he hated Chase, he would always hate Chase, but he knew the difference between Chase and people who just looked like him. And even though Amery looked like the guy, Reid could tell already he was nothing like him.]

I mean. You should know about Chase. Especially now. If he ever shows up here, and he found out about your brother, he'd use that against you. He'd hurt you.

[There are times when Reid had a good poker face, and times when he was as transparent as glass. Right now he was utterly transparent, and the hurt showed plain on his face, at Balfour's comment that they shouldn't meet. But he didn't say anything about it. Things like this hurt twice as bad coming from someone he cared so much about.]

[Somehow, that hurt even worse.]

You don't know Chase. You don't know what he's capable of. Just the fact that your brother looks so much like him-everything he did would hurt so much more coming from that face.

And what, you think if I was around him it'd fucking jinx things or something? Or that I'd hurt him? I wouldn't fucking do that. But if you think me being anywhere near him is so bad, then fine. He's all yours.
garwin: (You think the light won't be ever lit)

[personal profile] garwin 2013-06-22 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I get it. You care about him, you're worried.

[He did get it. But that didn't make any of the other things hurt less.]

But you're acting like I'm going to do something to him. And from what I just saw he's not a child, either. I'm sure he can take care of himself, too.
garwin: (You're in dreamland so you don't care)

[He was half wondering now if Balfour had suddenly lost his mind or something, and he almost asked aloud, but bit his tongue at the last second. That wouldn't help. Despite the fact that he was still a little angry, he was now concerned too.]

It's alright, Balfour. Nothing's going to happen, okay? He's here and everything's alright. I won't let anything happen to either of you, alright? I promise.

[He meant it, too. Family was important, and obviously Balfour's brother was important to him, unhealthy bits and all. Which Reid was tempted to comment on, but he didn't. That wouldn't help right now either, he didn't think.]
garwin: (And as you wake I'm standing there)

[personal profile] garwin 2013-06-22 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Well. There went the rest of the anger. To think, before Reid had been ready to say fuck it all, now he just wanted to be there to hold Balfour.]

I'll be careful. I promise.

[He smiled a little, trying to reassure him.]
garwin: have to ever quit (You think that you don't)

[personal profile] garwin 2013-06-22 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
What crossfire?

[What was Balfour even talking about right now.]
garwin: (You think that you can get away with it)

[personal profile] garwin 2013-06-22 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I-what?

I think you're being a little superstitious. I mean, come on. It's this place, it brings in people from all over, it doesn't mean something bad's going to happen just because he's alive again.
garwin: (It's almost over now. almost over now)

[personal profile] garwin 2013-06-22 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe back home where you're from, but we're not there. I don't think things work like that here.

[He was really trying to be reassuring.]


I don't think you need to worry so much, really.
garwin: (You think that you can get away with it)

[personal profile] garwin 2013-06-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Balfour.

Nothing's going to happen. Seriously. Besides, wouldn't it have, you know, happened already if it was going to? I doubt shit like this would wait until just the right moment, you know.
garwin: (We ain't gonna take it no more)

[personal profile] garwin 2013-06-22 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Even here? In a place where everything is free, people appear and disappear at random and hey, there was that time you talked to pillows and I could fly.

[Somehow he doesn't think that, here of all places, people are going to be punished for someone coming back from the dead.]
