[I Shot the Sheriff]

[He did a bad thing today. It's rather sobering but he did it...and it was easy. It felt good, but at the same time so horrible.

BUT

He knows the old man will regenerate with a more focused anger than before, and frankly, Snake isn't ready to take the brunt of that.]

Sshhhhit.

[Snake wanders back to the bar, sits down, and hangs his head, thinking, trying to figure out what to do for when the old man returns. He could use some help but he's got no one. He's not surprised by this, or even all that saddened. He knows he did it to himself and he's not surprised that he finds himself alone again.]

((ooc: Snake is an idiot. Oy vey.))

Boredom?

[He was completely serious with his response. He knows he isn't the best company, of course, he barely understands what it is about this Beauty that makes her a Beast and in that respect, he doesn't realize the similarities that they share.]

No.

[She sighed.]

Besides, it's hard to be bored in this place. If I was "bored" I'd wander into one of those rooms... I enjoy your company, you're a nice person.

[Have a chocked sob. 'A nice person' indeed. The man just killed his Father in cold blood.]

<sub>I...I'm not 'a nice person'.

Never have been.

Never will be.</sub>

[She went silent for a moment.]

No, I'm the one that's not a 'nice person'.

[She looked at him with a blank stare.]

At least you had a reason to do it...

[saltpeppered.livejournal.com]

Just because I had a reason...

[He lifts his head.]

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She sighed.]

I guess not but... at least you're not going around and killing random people...

[She realized how bad she must sound... she buried her face in her hands.]

I'm just making this worse aren't I?

[saltpeppered.livejournal.com]

[He just looks over at her, unsure what she's getting at...]

Don't worry. Nothing can make this worse.

[screamingdolls.livejournal.com]

[She had originally thought that killing others to protect yourself or loved ones must have been okay... or even just to have a reason, but talking to him made her realize that maybe she was more messed up than she had initially thought...]

I'm sure I can somehow... I should probably go...

[She got out of her chair and turned around to leave.]

[saltpeppered.livejournal.com]

...alright.

[He rests his arms, then his head on the bar and exhales a frustrated-sounding groan.]
