Video; the.boneless. Guess who's back?

[ragnarsson]

[So it looks like a familiar face has returned after a couple of weeks away. He's only been gone a short time, but it's clear more time has passed for Ivar. He's aged about a year, maybe two, and his hair is different. But there's some things that never change. His eyes are still angry and sharp, missing nothing around him, and he has a look on his face like he's contemplating murdering everyone in Riverview. It's quite possible he's gotten crazier and more unstable. in his time away.]

I always knew I'd make it back here. Something about it made it inevitable. You all really should just learn I'm always right and not question my judgment.

[Oh yes, his arrogance has only gotten greater. That's what happens when you win almost every battle as the teenage leader of an army. Also, it appears the video is being filmed from an unusual angle for him, almost like he's standing up rather than sitting down.]

So if I've missed anything of vital importance, feel free to tell me, but I've got some catching up to do with people.

[Whatever room there is in Ivar's heart for other people feels like it's aching, hurting badly as she tries to reject him, leave him all alone again. He knows that logically she'll leave or he'll have to. They both have lives back in their worlds that require them. Staying here has always seemed temporary, though whether that's for another six months or another six years, he has no idea.]

Why do you think that? I have a choice in the matter too.

[Is it so wrong for him to cling to the small bits of happiness he can find? It never lasts for him, and while it hurts worse than anything when it ends, Ivar would rather have them then never experience them at all.]

I want to be with you. Isn't that enough?

[Happiness doesn't last long for her either. When has it ever lasted for more than a handful of minutes? Maybe even seconds? Rey didn't mean to hurt Ivar like this. She didn't want to put him through any of this, but he was making a bad choice in this. She was the wrong choice. She would leave and create a bigger hole in his heart than anything.

Why did he have to be stubborn? Why did he have to remind her of someone else who was equally as stubborn...and things didn't work out then.]

I am not enough, don't you get that?

[The words slip out of her mouth, emotions taking their toll on her. She was getting frustrated and her heart was aching all the same. He couldn't ask this of her. He couldn't. And the situation was starting to get beyond her control. He wasn't listening...he wanted what he wanted and she couldn't make him see reason.]

You have a life here, Ivar. I am not going to mess with that--especially when you have feelings for someone else. I am not going to put us through something that will end up with us hating each other.

[Like it did with her and Ben...and Heavens, they were one in the same, weren't they? Brash, stubborn, and captivating eyes that she could lose herself in...but she couldn't do this to them. She didn't want Ivar to hate her in the end.]
