The Crawl (Halo 5 Machinima) -|Original Sci Fi Fantasy|-
icepickxiii for Kish Bray
Kish: If you think that's how I sound then you've been drinking too much of that colourful grak in r&r.
Mia: You mean cocktails?
Kish: Whatever you call it, changes nothing.
Mia: Not our fault you don't know what you sound like.
Kish: You won't know what anything sounds like if you-
Rick: Kish, shut up-
Kish: (Not shouting, just annoyed) No, no. I won't shut up. This is stupid. Nowhere in this assignment was the plan to go and sit in a Sanctuary in the middle of the Crawl, and wait for reinforcements to show up. Any number of things could have happened to them out here, you know that just as I do.
Rick: It's in Varkon. What does it say?Kish: It's in Vraxi. Not Varkon. You don't speak "Human" do you?Rick: Alright whatever, my bad.Kish: Can't you read it?Rick: I can understand it when it's spoken., never bothered learning the text.Kish: Uncultured swine.
*It's the first time he's opened up about his grudge to pretty much anyone. It's half apology, half asking for understanding. He's not crying or anything, but it's emotional and heartfelt.*Kish: From the moment he stepped foot into that Sanctuary... I've been lost... I don't know if I'm angry or afraid i just want them dead. I see that uniform and I just see the weapons that killed my family, I hear their screams clawing at the back of my head I see my uncle hanging from the ceiling by his neck... I wish I could forget, But I can't and all people ever tell me is "get over it".*There's a pause*Rick: You know we're here for you, right? You don't need to just sit there all the time thinking about it we can... Talk. We can talk about it. I don't know if it's what you need or want, but... You need to do something Kish. You can't go on like that.Kish: I know.Rick: Take some leave when we get home. It'll give you time to think without command ramming co-op stuff down your neck.Kish: There's nothing for me outside of thi-Mia: *Broadly trying to lighten the mood* Come with me, try some cocktails. You might like em. Who know's. Drink enough and you won't even be able to think about standing.Kish: Drowning my problems in alcohol... Hm. Maybe.
