Soon enough, Matchstick finally stops her relentless flapping. A nice patch of grass is where they land, on the cusp betwixt open space and dense trees. Not enough to stop her way forward, but enough to make her feel restrained. She’d be fine if only she broke her neck. Absinthe or Matchstick?

She’d never forgive herself.

Not sure what you mean,” June said curtly. She helped Absinthe off carefully, yet let her be as soon as she dismounted. Matchstick only gave her a careful glance before she turned her gaze elsewhere. She wasn’t a threat, or at least one June couldn’t handle. No need to keep watch.

Do you mean stop looking out for one another, or we just kill everyone we hate? Cause I’m gonna keep doing what nobody wants to, and I’m just a delivery girl. Not a killer. Snapping a few necks won't bring them back.

it takes three tries for absinthe to get off of matchstick and steady herself. when she finally stands on her own, she looks small and hunched, like a shadow that is just begging to be stepped on. she doesn't look at june. instead, she stares down at the ground, fixated on a single blade of grass, a small green soldier among thousands. she thinks that if she stares at it long enough, it will become a separate entity, something completely separate from the life she can't escape.[break][break]

"it means that i think we should stop clinging to morals that have no use in this world," absinthe says finally. "they are pointless and dangerous. they only serve to hurt us. they only serve to cause more problems than they are worth."[break][break]

absinthe finally looks up.[break][break]

"i'm grateful that you stepped in, but i think you should have let me die. i think it's the only right thing to do. and i think helping me, even if not done for me as a person, will only cause you more problems in the future."

The future? Arceus, forget the future.

You remind me of someone I’m close with,” June crossed her arms. “You two would hit it off well– if he swung for a team, anyway.

would know exactly what to say here. How to make her feel better, or at least not as mentally unstable. He had a way with that. Unfortunately, he wasn’t here but she was. Probably the worst person to do this with. had only cemented that further.

Look, if you don’t wanna keep going, then go and die. I’m gonna be the last person to stop you,” she said. “Cause yea, it fucking sucks being in the pit. No buts about that part.

I’m not gonna let them win,” she sighed and turned around. Very steadily, she clambered back onto Matchstick. How powerful she looked atop the bird. How strong. How much unlike Absinthe, despite their shared struggles. “The cops wanted me to rot in a corner. They want you to die in the street like a dog. Take them down with you, if you gotta, but do NOT let them win. If it helps, don't think about it like morals. It's just spite.

And the future might suck, but like….” a deep breath in, then out. “Like my… dad, always said. Tomorrow’s always a day away. When it causes a problem, I’ll deal with it when it happens. Until then?

Might as well not exist.

absinthe watches as june clambers onto matchstick's back, a deep frown pulling at her mouth, and she looks away. what else can be said, really? her life is a series of constantly self-destructing choices, the result of a twisted upbringing and even more twisted decisions.[break][break]

her desire to die is wrenched from her in that moment, a declaration that she is unwilling to make. what good will it do to give the league what they want? and if she dies, will she stay dead, or is the alternative even worse? maybe if she's gone, then she can't keep hurting herself.[break][break]

or maybe she'd just be giving in to something else she can't escape: the knowledge that if she dies, then so much of what she is was for naught. that she could have wasted a life she's still trying to parse whether was worth saving or not. it's a truth she can't face.[break][break]

she rubs her hands over her face, then drops them to her sides. when she looks up, she just stares at june, her gaze unfocused, until she realizes that she must look crazy.[break][break]

"i hope you're right," she manages as she stumbles to a nearby tree and settles down against its trunk. "and i suppose i'll burn that bridge when i get to it."[break][break]

she tilts her head back and lets her unfocused, bleary eyes make shapes out of the way stars dance through the canopy.[break][break]

"thank you. goodbye."

I’m probably not,” June acknowledged. “But I’ll burn that bridge when I get there too. It’s all I can do.

Unfortunately for the chemist, before she can truly escape the grasp of June Sleigh, she’d hear not the flap of wings but the call of a voice.

And… ?

what in the world could june possibly have to say to her now? she'd said goodbye, she'd offered absinthe every last bit of help she could possibly give her. was she just going to sit back on the talonflame all night?[break][break]

absinthe lowers her head to pin june with an icy stare, irritation clear on her face. "what?" she snaps, not in the mood to stand on any sort of ceremony after june has so soundly kicked over her latest set of problems.

"I know you wouldn't have done the same for me, is all. I'm used to it."

Why did she tell her that? It didn't do anything. But it did feel a little good. Disgustingly so, like when an annoying kid fell clumsily in the dirt.

"Good luck." June finally pulled upon Talonflame's wings, off to... who knew? Somewhere not here.

absinthe tilts her head back up to the sky.[break][break]

"you are so foolish."[break][break]

to give to people that would never dig into their own pockets in return is, possibly, the height of stupidity.[break][break]

deep down, absinthe envies june. it is something she would never admit out loud, but she does. their circumstances were similar—the people they loved were killed. but where absinthe descended into a pit of callous cruelty, june still finds it in her heart to engage in something as ridiculous as altruism.[break][break]

june leaves. absinthe begins to cry.
