Sure, that's why I'm here… um… downstairs… oh well…

(where exactly is she going to find Zackary?)

(If I were her I'd try near his old little cottage.)

(gr this site is being shit rn)
North shifted into a small bird once in the clearing and eventually found the little cottage. Zackary?

(I know, it's the same for me)

The cottage's lights were off and it was seemingly abandoned, when she heard,
What the hell do you want?

I'm sorry..I tend to push people away when they try to help me. She opened the cottage door and looked around for a light.

There was a gentle noise from the kitchen and Zackary appeared, his neck twitching weirdly, and his broken white wing twitching away on the ground. The other healthier one flapped occasionally, as if maddened by something.

"Hi.." (is he still a ghost?)

(Yeah.)

His neck twitched again as he skulked forward. The hell do you want?

She looked at him sadly. I told you..I'm sorry. You helped, you really did and I wish you would come back.

His broken white wing twitched to the side violently and fwished through the couch. I'm glad to hear it. It certainly didn't look like he did.

She sat down on the floor, looking up at him. I'm not leaving unless you come back.

I don't need to go anywhere, silly girl. I can stay here and be as lonely as I want. His neck twitched violently to the side again.
Damn… that's just getting worse…

Fine. I'll just sit here. I won't eat. Won't sleep. Just…sit.

You'd kill yourself. Just like you wanted to. Then you'd be a Restless Spirit, like me. Don't.

I'll do what I want. She said leaning against the wall.

Like toss me out of your subconscious. Yet here you are, regretting it. Zackary's neck twitched rather violently again and he drifted off into the kitchen.

Yeah I am because you annoy the fuck out of me. Did you not notice me sitting here starving myself for you though? (reading this over it doesn't really make any sense but oh wel)

If you miss me, then it's more than annoyed. I told my son that almost every time he brought it up.

What do you want me to tell you then?!

Excuse me? I'm not expecting you to tell me anything!

North said nothing, just stared at the floor.

Zackary drifted out of the kitchen, his eyes narrowed somewhat. He tossed an apple to her.
You should eat. I'm not a reason you should starve.

North picked up the apple and threw it back.

Zackary caught it skillfully. So if I rejoin you, will you go back to M's place?

Probably?

What's probably?

Well why wouldn't I go back to M's?

Because you're a rebellious young adult? I don't fucking know. Zackary shrugged irritably and his neck twitched.

Calm down you were the one who asked me in the first place.
