Because it&#39;s either that or walking...

[ Thobari-and-not-Thobari saw Spencer and smiled. It's pretty nostalgic, after all. They were friends. Once. Before Thobari lost everything and decided he didn't need friends anymore. ]

So you agree?

[ His stance relaxed. It's easy to trust Spencer. Too easy, in fact. ]

But you're not here to agree with me, are you? You're here for the twit locked in the closet.

From:

Wow. Sounds about as interesting as a friggin' game of Quidditch.

This fool tried some stupid shit like "talking this over" or "wanting to keep me here for my own protection." Fat chance of that ever working. Talk is cheap.

From:

I do. It was foolish of me to come here thinking it wouldn't be expected. I know you're a lot smarter than that.

[He glanced so quickly around the room that you might not have even noticed, then looked Thobari's twin in the eye.]

[Ok, what have you got for me? Hmm wow, ok, more than I ever wanted to know about the sadness in Thobari's past.. let's try more recent history... he's in the closet, to the left... this guy's got no wand and he seems to trust me. This is manageable.]

You know I know all about the stuff that's happened to you. You have a right to be upset. I don't even blame you for taking it out on him.

[He inched very very slowly closer.]

From:

The geek's like that too... he likes to just talk about shit. No action. He's too scared he's going to hurt someone, or himself. He's such a nerd he probably doesn't even know how to use a curse correctly anyway.

From:

That's not true!

I will not repeat myself. Release him.

From:

It is true, and he's proof of it!

You can come get 'im, sweetheart. The cavalry's already here, so it shouldn't take long.

From:

He won't lose me. I'll make sure of that.

You can count on i--

Sorry, but that's a date you won't be able to make.

From:

[ At Spencer's words, he chuckled. ]

You don't know the half of it. He hasn't told you, hasn't told anyone. The truth never got us anywhere, or any closer to getting them back for what they did.

[ His hand went up to his temples, massaging them lightly. A headache. He was so frustrated at his own foolishness that is was driving him crazy. ]

And then I see this idiot is here, wasting time, when he should be out looking for those bastards. All this naïve "kindness" and "understanding" bullshit is a waste of time! Why doesn't he see that!?

From:

Oh yeah?

Tch, at least it's better than mine. He's so afraid to hurt anyone, but the time he casts a spell, he's already too late to save anyone! Then he blames it on himself, as he damn well should, y'know? He's such a damn brat, I swear...

From:

Keep telling yourself that, sweetheart.

Oh, and what's this? You've got a visitor~! I think I like her.

From:

It's difficult for him... he's very weak. But why even bother with him? Just go and take care of business yourself.

[He stopped about two feet in front of him.]

[He's relaxed... he's not on his guard.... wait for it..]

From:

You flatter me entirely too much dear~ But I must say, the feeling is mutual.

From:

I should! I should, dammit, but I see him here and it just pisses me the hell off! I can't leave him, the bastard reminds me too damn much of myself!

[ Just as Thobari was reluctant to leave his guilt, his not-self couldn't get over his idiotic kindness. It made no sense; that such a weakling could be around after losing all he had. ]

[ In the closet, the banging stops. ]

Stupid, goddamn idiot... [ Thobari turned to face the closet door. He looked almost sad. ]

From:

Well that makes it easy.

[Spencer sprang forward and pushed Thobari's twin as hard as he could, so that he fell over and crashed into Thobari's desk. In a flash, Spencer had his wand in hand, pointed at the twin.]

Stupefy!

[Red sparks flew and hit Thobari's twin square in the chest. Out cold.]

And thank you for being about the same size as me... that made it easy too.

[He approached the closet, studying the lock.]

Hey Thobari are you ok in there?

From:

You sound just charming, babe. I need to drop this idiot and get to you asap, don't I?

From:

You should keep a lady waiting too long~ It's not proper at all.

From:

Somethin' wrong, baby?

[ THIS THOBARI STILL DATED YOU, MARON. hohoho~ ]

From:

Oh, you're quite right. I'll be seeing you soon~

From:

[ Thobari, who had heard the entire exchange from inside the closet, sighed in relief as he heard his clone hit the ground. ]

Spencer! Yes, I'm okay! I-- He didn't do anything... Just locked me in here!

I'm never putting magical locks on my doors ever again.

From:

genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com

Baby?

From:

I'll be waiting ♥

From:

Gdit my phone. So many mistskes. FORGIVE ME ;A;

From:

Ok good... I'm gonna get you out...

[After studying the lock for a few more moments, he concluded that it was nothing that a simple "alohamora" wouldn't take care of. He tapped the lock with his wand and said the incantation. It sprang apart and Spencer opened the closet door.]
