[ Nelson shakes his head miserably. ]

He isn't a bad person. He's just different than everyone else.
retropolis: (ℳ | he's right behind me isn't he)

He can be a little extreme, a-and aggressive, but his heart is in the right place, Gilbert. He inspired me to go into crime-fighting in the first place, he's--

[ He pauses. ]

A real hero.
retropolis: (byron's speech bubble forced my hand)

[ Nelson watches him, lips tightening in defensiveness, no matter how misplaced it is. ]

He's what? You don't even know him. And-- [ He sits up a little, voice getting a little louder as his indignation unconsciously grows. ] Most of those lowlifes deserve it!
retropolis: (ℳ | dangerous capes)

[ The silence hangs for a few moments as Nelson both waits for Gil to say something and tries not to get any more upset; finally he stands, adjusting his tie a little absently but hastily. ]

I should probably go. I didn't come by to fight with you, Gilbert, I-- [ A beat. ] hope that you're feeling a little better now.
retropolis: (why is laurie rude)

[ Nelson looks at him, expression still a little frustrated but also confused. ]

Did I know what?
retropolis: (bitter drunk)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-18 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't even seen him in a week, Gilbert!

[ Nelson waves his hand in mild impatience. ]

He's either crime-fighting or-- [ "Out with boys," he wants to say but doesn't. ] No, I don't know what he's doing! God knows what!
retropolis: (oh no it's change)

[ Nelson stares at him, mouth open slightly in surprise.

Though probably not over what Gil thinks.
]


You saw him?
retropolis: (he never even called)

[ Nelson walks over to him, breathing quickly. ]

Where? When? What day? What happ-- tell me. Gilbert, please.
retropolis: (ℳ | whoops our bad)

[ Stopping some criminal. Somehow that relieves Nelson slightly, though not completely. Hooded Justice is at least still around and all right (or was, last Friday), but the why still resounds heavily. ]

Tell me everything, did you... speak to him? Was the criminal-- [ He pauses. ] He survived, didn't he?

What happened to H-- [ He stops himself, swallowing and shaking his head. ] I mean, that's good that the man didn't-- that... I'm sure there'd have been a story in the papers if...

[ He gets to the point: ]

Did he say anything?
retropolis: (invades your personal space)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-18 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Was he angry? Especially angry, I mean, he's always more violent when--

[ He bites his lip. ]

Why didn't you tell me sooner?
retropolis: (time to be overdramatic)

action!!

[ Nelson's eyebrows furrow and he bites his lip a little harder. ]

I know he's-- he's twisted, there's something wrong with him. [ "Sick in the head," Nelson had said once, but he isn't sure anymore. ] He won't kill someone for just no reason, Gilbert. If anyone can handle him it's me.
