seriously, I'm not, though. And you should probably stop falling for that. Leave a message."

[cyphered]

name one time when any plan of mine was backwards

[He's sitting chuckling at his phone.]

Nate you ass

[totallytrustworthy]

oh I dunno






all of them

:*

[cyphered]

you're just mad because my ideas work
and you never want to listen to them

[totallytrustworthy]

please I've lost track of how much trouble those plans caused us

[cyphered]

ouch
right in the heart

[cyphered]

man
id kill to see the look on your face right now

[totallytrustworthy]

[It's so flat it might as well be a line, but there's amusement in there too. Mild. So bloody mild, you cock.]

likewise carrot cake

[cyphered]

[Sure enough, a picture goes through -- the glasses are missing and his hood is up, but his cheeks are puffed and the barest hint of red hair is visible in what little lighting is available in his room.]

challenge accepted

[totallytrustworthy]

[The texted response doesn't come for another minute; she's laughing too hard.]

oh god

I'm speechless

[cyphered]

yeah
i know
i get that a lot

[totallytrustworthy]

and never like this

just think its a whole new world

[cyphered]

i've almost had enough of new worlds
maybe if we could find one without someone trying to kill me
dream big

[totallytrustworthy]

who knows

maybe hell get airlocked soon enough and our job will be done

speaking of jobs: flight school really

[cyphered]

not totally my fault
i got drafted out once they picked up that i was skipping out on class
they didn't like the homeschooling answer

[cyphered]

besides
knowing how to fly a space ship seems pretty useful to me

[totallytrustworthy]

oh Nate. you couldnt have just halfassed it in some bakery somewhere

but yeah ok I'll give you that

[cyphered]

if it makes you feel better
lazarevic is in a different division

[totallytrustworthy]

not by much

but I know it cant be helped now can it

[cyphered]

well it made me feel better
and besides
the sooner i learn to fly
the sooner we can bail
maybe

[totallytrustworthy]

what
you cant be serious

where would we even go

[cyphered]

haven't gotten that far
still learning this solar system

[totallytrustworthy]

find us a treasure planet and youve got yourself a deal then

or maybe the planet of half dressed attractive men

[cyphered]

aye aye captain

but seriously i think anywhere with some shelter and food
is probably better than some place with lazarevic

[totallytrustworthy]

fair enough but staying here is our best bet to actually get home

five minutes later

[cyphered]

[The message takes a while to come through. Does he really want to go back? He doesn't really know. He knows, at least, that he'll live through the train derailing. He knows Harry Flynn will die. He knows Lazarevic, somehow, will leave his life. He knows he'll go on to marry Elena.

What does a man do with all that knowledge when he returns to the past?]

yeah
i guess
