[Like a few other folks in town, something is up with Crowe. The usually bright paperboy, who chats pleasantly with everyone, is skulking about town looking downright volitile. Anyone who approaches him will be met with unusual hostility and bitter remarks.

He'll be still going about his usual business though. He'll show up to blitzball and combat practice with Jecht and his friends. He'll be absolutely ruthless today though, especially while fighting. Enjoy, Jecht!

Even after that, he can be found in the rec center, using the boxing equipment there, fiercely pummeling the practice bags. His fists, by this point, are raw and are starting to bleed. Occasionally, he stops and grabs his head, looking like he might be a bit dizzy. A small part of him is telling him that something is wrong, VERY wrong. But it's quickly quashed. This is the way he is now. The way he always should have been. Right?]

[Cheerfully waving, as per usual.]

Hi, Calleo! What are you...up...to?

[Staring at his bleeding hands....]

Are you okay?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Continues boxing] Fine.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

.....


You're bleeding. Shouldn't you, I don't know, get a bandage, or something?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Punches harder] I said it's fine.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

Your definition of fine seems a little different from mine...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Snidely] Yeah? I guess so.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

Wow. Okay, ummm...

What the heck is your problem today?

Nothing! Nothing is wrong with me, it's everyone else in this town that has the bloody problem.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't yell at me! I was just worried about you!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

....Just leave me alone.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

No way! Not until you at least take care of the bleeding wreck you've made of your hands...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

What part of "bugger off" are you not getting here?!

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

The part where you're being a huge jerk for no reason.

[She walks over to him.]

Now come on, let's get your hand cleaned up and we can talk about whatever happened.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I don't need your help!

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

You obviously do. If you don't want to tell me what's wrong, that's fine.

[She reaches out and lays a hand on his arm.]

Let's at least clean the blood off, okay?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs you off, and grabs himself a towel.] I can do it.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

......

Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Ignores you, finishes up with his hands and goes back to the bag.]
