"For who could love a monster?" // One-On-One // CLOSED

They nodded quietly. "Right. I understand." they replied, tipping their head a little.

Lys stepped towards Casey, towering over the smaller person. "I've been rambling about myself though. Tell me a bit about you."

Casey inhaled softly, stepping back to put space between themself and Lys. "I…there's not much to tell." they stepped back from their memories, not because they were frightened.

Lys stepped forward again. "You say you're not scared of me, yet every time I get too close you back up. I don't have much experience with other humans, but I don't think that is normal."

"It's…" they shook their head. "It's not you, Lys." they didn't know how to explain. "I've…been in bad situations before, is all. I don't let anyone get close, it has nothing to do with you specifically."

(sorry!)

Lys moved back and sat in a chair, his face visibly not believing Casey. "Thing is…you're still here. And most other people would have run away by now and I would be having to find a new home."

(it's alright, take your time!)

Casey shrugged a little, looking over at Lys. "Again: I'm not scared of you. It's just…I have bad memories, alright? And…it's instinct to want space from others, irregardless of who they are. It's not you."

Lys stood up and pushed past Casey, walking outside. He lifted his wings and pushed up into the sky, landing on the roof of his shack.

Casey watched him go, a little confused about what was going on. Was Lys still upset that they had wanted space? They didn't want to explain everything…

(do we wanna skip forward a little or something? i kinda want to push this in the direction of romance, and thats not happening right now)

(well, I didn't want to compromise who Casey is, and they don't like people getting too close. Sorry. We can skip if you like)
