The temperature's turned me into a person who enjoys heat. The rest is a sad inevitability.
But I am not sure sneakiness is the quality you need to manage Zack. A firm hand, a hard head... perhaps a pair of good puppy eyes. In which department you and Hawkins are both uniquely gifted, I recall.
Much as the thought of strangulation is tempting, the truly painful thing is that I wouldn't hurt him. I'd have to be nice to him. Because I must respect Angel's choices, even when they are absolutely terrible.
Does Rhys hit on them both? I don't think he'll hit on the Admin. Maybe he'll be normal before we hear from Winter again. I'll make sure he knows that she has someone already.
I would think it's not a good idea to let Zack talk to the Admin even if he can stop from doing it with his balls. But I shall leave that judgement call to Kunsel - is Kunsel getting any sleep at all now that he has to babysit Zack at sixteen?
I think it might be nicer for him with Zack like this. It's before Before a lot of bad shit happened in their world. So maybe he's sleeping a little easier.
Right? He has more energy. There's a spark in his eyes and he actually has HOPE for his own future. I miss the old Zack, but it's It sucks he's going to lose that again.
Oh, I don't think the "old" Zack was totally without hope for his future - unless the aggressive optimism was some kind of coping mechanism. I'm not very good with those.
[ Beckett is good with Zell and even he's not sure any more if it's a coping mechanism or not. ]
It's for other people. He found out something a few months back. Going to have to kick his butt to get him to believe. Later though. When he actually is himself.
Everything good with Angel and Rhys? Rhys is messaging me, too. :) He said something about pancakes.
Lord, what did he find out? Is it going to be another shocking revelation that will get me to totally rethink his mindset? The last one was... much.
[He's snarking plenty, and yet, somewhere inside, he is constantly remembering that Zack has died. Is dead. Is - who knows.]
Angel and Rhys are well. We're planning to reunite and feast tonight, so pancakes will likely be involved. I am going to eat my own weight in them and no one in this godforsaken hell town can stop me.

Date: 2017-09-28 10:29 pm (UTC)Maybe I should ask Angel to help out.
She's a cute girl and he decided to trust us because of her.
[ :D ]
Or I can bribe him with embarrassing pictures of Kunsel.

[ THEY DID.
He will send a second message after that though to let Beckett know he doesn't have to worry about anything. ]
For him to take someone else.

Date: 2017-09-28 11:23 pm (UTC)Alright. I won't do that again.
Would you actually hurt any of her would-be suitors?
Or just him?

It's hard to think of Zack as, well - hard to imagine there was ever an even more innocent version of Zack.
