WHAT in person
WHERE the... cemetery?
WHEN day ""136""

[somewhere in cam... cour... uh, qm, there appears to be a new plot of land—some overgrown with weeds and other weed-adjacent plants, and some with towering oak trees and the like, and some with just perfect patches of freshly mowed and manicured grass...

also

there are tombstones every scattered all over this area, with the name of your father or father-figure on them, regardless of whether or not they are here or dead or here-dead.

yeeeeesh.]

Yo, fuck you. My old man did the exact same. He knew what a king should be doing, was out there in it, and he told me and your dad, too.

[willnotwatch]

I know—I meant...

[aintrunning]

What? What did you mean?

[willnotwatch]

I'm sorry your time together was so brief.

[aintrunning]

[sucks his teeth, shifting the strap of his bag]

We knew it was going to be short. He didn't hide that shit from me. Just didn't think it'd be coming from Wakanda.

[willnotwatch]

...

You were never afraid?

[aintrunning]

[glancing at him]

Of what? Wakanda?

[willnotwatch]

[shaking his head]

Of being left behind.

[aintrunning]

No, 'cause that was the good ending: I didn't end up in jail or dead, like the rest of us.

[willnotwatch]

[thanks I hate it]

...

[aintrunning]

[huffs a half-laugh, light at T'Challa's pain, and glancing off]

[willnotwatch]

...

I don't understand, then. Why you choose to die.

[aintrunning]

Dad didn't want me in jail, either.

[willnotwatch]

[shaking his head]

You broke no laws in Wakanda.

[aintrunning]

Don't play me. None of you would have let me walk free after that.

[willnotwatch]

I don't know what would have happened.

[aintrunning]

Yeah, I know you are some dumbass king, but the rest of the council has some damn sense. It wasn't going to happen.

[willnotwatch]

The people were swayed for a reason.

[aintrunning]

[sharp inhale with an equally sharp exhale]

I'll catch 'em on the second round.

[willnotwatch]

I'm sure you will.

[aintrunning]

I'm not about compromising, anyway.

[willnotwatch]

You've made that, clear, yes.

[aintrunning]

[makes a non-committal noise, also shut up t'challa]

[willnotwatch]

[yeah he'll go now bye]
