Only The Strong Survive

Auberon
"Nothing," Auberon mumbled back.

Outlaw 
She raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything, taking another sip of her coffee. 

Auberon
Auberon eyed the coffee, then looked back down at the ground again. Why was this going to be so difficult?

Outlaw 
“What up?” She questioned Auberon in a low tone, taking another sip of the coffee. 

Auberon
"She hates me," he mumbled, equally quiet.

Outlaw 
“You once said that bout me too. Naw she don’t hate you. She just don’t know how to react or act of anything right now” she replied, in the same low tone. 

Auberon
"No- oh wait ya I did... wait, I did? You probably did then," Auberon said. "Wait when?"

Outlaw 
“No I didn’t. You said the very first time we met. To Parker. Yeah you didn’t think I heard that did you?” 

Auberon
"Parker.... Parker? Oh, Parker... wasn't I like... fourteen? Ya I don't remember anything from then," Auberon said with a sigh.

Outlaw 
“Uh huh. You said it then and have said it several times since. Never true” she replied. 

Auberon
"Yeah, but you're different," Auberon said.

Outlaw 
“How am I different?” She said in mock shock. 

Auberon
Auberon bit his lip, deciding he should probably keep his mouth shut. I didn't mean it like that wnsndoan-

Outlaw 
She gave him a gentle shove on the shoulder. “Just messin with you.” She assured him. 

Auberon
Auberon raised his eyebrows for a split second, looking away from Outlaw and out through the forests. "Could you do me a favor and teach Kahlen how to shove like that? I've almost died a couple times from her "nudging" me."
