Seriously hate that. [the shame that comes with it] But you won't be the last to forget to check for one, or miss it.

They'll have to find different fun, that's true. Where to, by the way?

[lionwhisperer]

Yes, that is true. Someone else will get careless as well.

[Trowa thought about that for a second]

My apartment is probably fine at this point. I hadn't gone back there for a few days and if someone might be actively looking around for me, I don't want to lead them to someone else.

[backendbat]

And your buddies, the other young men....do you think they're being pursued too?

[he begins in the direction of that apartment, no don't ask why he knows where it is, Trowa probably doesn't want to know]

[lionwhisperer]

I doubt it. I haven't talked to Heero and Wufei for a while. I made sure to keep distance from Quatre a time to make sure no one saw me going to see him. I did meet with Duo a few days ago, but I will make sure to warn all of them.

[Trowa didn't really want to know, but he was also not very surprised either]

[backendbat]

Ah. Hate that you guys keep having to fight the good fight the way you do.

[they're so young....granted, he fought even younger than they are, but still.]

[lionwhisperer]

It's been my entire life. Only recently I know anything else. ... They help.

[Friends like Quatre and Duo helped bring some normalcy to his life that he had never thought he needed]

If I can keep them from getting involved, all the better.

[backendbat]

Yeah. I know. It's-- a doozy, seeing it all over again. Glad you guys have each other.

[a tiny, tiny sigh-- but he's smiling] I know that, too.

[lionwhisperer]

It seems to be a story that is told in every generation. I am glad they are there.

[A pause] And I appreciate your assistance too.

[They were very alike. The two of them]

[backendbat]

[he very much wishes....it wasn't. a kid this young shouldn't have to do this! but alas]

You hungry?

[lionwhisperer]

[He had been doing it for a very long time unfortunately. It was nothing unusual for him]

Yeah, I am. If you don't mind, we can stop somewhere.

[backendbat]

Don't mind at all. We're both growing boys. [he's actually happy to hear the kid's got an appetite] You tried Bataburger yet?

[lionwhisperer]

Indeed we are. [He did. Having grown up in an environment where food wasn't always readily available, he didn't complain about offers of it] I have not.

[backendbat]

[he knows the look-- has seen it in plenty of child soldiers.

and unfortunately (??) for Trowa, he's about to get the best of Bataburger. he speeds up, if anything]

You're in for a real treat.

[lionwhisperer]

[There did seem to be a strange need for child soldiers...

Trowa had never tried it so he was willing to give it a try]

I'm curious to try it, since you are recommending it.

[backendbat]

Well it's better than McDonalds...but not sure if it's better than Jack in the Box.

[that's really telling
to anyone who knows what that means]

[lionwhisperer]

Impressive. Definitely worth trying.

[Trowa had tried both at some point]

[backendbat]

[it doesn't take them long to peel out into the city, finally, all that fresh city air pollution and other cars honking and swerving]

Glad to hear the approval in your voice.

[lionwhisperer]

[There was certainly an odd dichotomy about being in the city. There were a lot more people to recognize you, but it was also easier to get lost in a crowd. Trowa appreciated the last part]

I don't know that I have had a burger in a while.

[backendbat]

[who wouldn't recognize two circus boys like these]

You like regular ones? Or have you tried turkey burgers? We can try that next time.

[lionwhisperer]

[Yeah, they were pretty obvious if only because they clearly had qualities that made people pay attention to them]

I do. I have tried those as well. Seasoned right, they are not bad.

[backendbat]

[the really tall pants? the flips?

bataburger-- ah yes, there's the familiar wings]

Good to hear you've had some experience there.
